The small town of Maxlrain is located right next to Bad Aibling in the Upper Bavarian foothills of the Alps. The Alpine scenery with the Wendelstein forms the background for the extensive area of the Renaissance castle of Maxlrain, the landmark of a unique ensemble. Wonderful hiking and biking trails. Beautiful view of Maxlrain Castle.
