Saulgrub is located in the picturesque Alpine foothills between the towns of Garmisch-Partenkirchen and Füssen. The region is known for its breathtaking landscape with mountains, lakes and forests. Here you can experience the true Bavarian lifestyle!

One of the best-known tourist highlights in Saulgrub is the Ettal Monastery. The impressive baroque building was founded in the 14th century and today houses a school as well as a brewery with its own brewery. Another highlight are the numerous hiking trails around Saulgrub - both beginners and experienced hikers will find great routes through idyllic valleys or up to mountain peaks.

If you are interested in culture, you should definitely visit the Richard Strauss Festival - one of the most important classical music festivals in Germany! It takes place every year in June and offers concerts by renowned musicians from all over the world.

Saulgrub also has a lot to offer in terms of cuisine: Be sure to try the regional specialities such as pork knuckle or liver dumplings with sauerkraut! The best accompaniment is a fresh wheat beer from the Ettal monastery brewery.

If it rains, you can warm up in one of the many cosy inns and enjoy the local cuisine. Or visit the "Bergbauernmuseum" museum - here you can learn all about the history of mining in this region.

The most beautiful place in Saulgrub is difficult to determine, as every visitor has their own preferences. But a walk along the shores of the Staffelsee or a hike to the top of the Hörnle are definitely unforgettable experiences!

Overall, Saulgrub is definitely worth a trip for all nature lovers, culture enthusiasts and gourmets! We hope that these travel tips will help you to make your stay unforgettable.
