Geographically, the small town is located directly at the foot of the Karwendel Mountains and has the Isar River flowing through it. The idyllic location promises not only dreamlike views of the surrounding mountains, but also unforgettable nature experiences.

Krün is known for its impressive landscape and high recreational value. Tourist attractions include the parish church of St. Sebastian and Elmau Castle with its luxurious spa area.

Cultural highlights are offered above all during the numerous events such as the traditional Almabtrieb or the music summer. Both locals and tourists get their money's worth here.

Those who enjoy culinary delights should definitely try the regional specialities - these include, for example, Kaiserschmarrn or liver dumplings with sauerkraut.

Outdoor activities are particularly popular in Krün: hiking, cycling or skiing - here every sports enthusiast gets their money's worth. While hikes to the peaks of the Karwendel mountains are recommended in summer, perfectly groomed slopes entice you to ski or snowboard in winter.

Even when it rains, there are plenty of options in Krün: The local museum or a visit to the nearby town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen offer variety.

The most beautiful spot in Krün is hard to name, as the landscape offers breathtaking views at every turn. Whether on the banks of the Isar, on a mountain hike or in the Elmau castle park - there is always something to discover here.

Overall, it can be said: Krün is a perfect destination for all nature lovers and sports enthusiasts. The Travel Guide recommends a stay in the summer months as well as in winter for skiing - but Krün also has its charm outside of these seasons and is always worthwhile as a destination!
