Kreuzkapelle (Holy Cross Chapel), Herreninsel

Highlight • Religious Site

The chapel was built in 1697 on the northern island shore. Designed by Giulio Zuccalli, painting cycle by Joseph Eder (1700). herrenchiemsee.de/deutsch/a_schloss/sakral.htm
Nice place to stay on the lakeshore. It is quiet and yet always something going on, because the whole steamship fleet from Prien to the islands passes here. And here is the "cargo port" over which equipment and vehicles are brought to the Herreninsel.

Tree Dream

Highlight • Forest

The great, idyllic forest paths lead completely around the island. If you move from the castle in the opposite direction to the pier, you won't see as many people anymore. This means you can enjoy nature beautifully.

Otto's Ruh — View of Chiemsee and the Alps

Highlight • Viewpoint

Ottos Ruh is one of the two places you pass on the tour around the island and invite you to take a break. Pause for a moment, close your eyes and listen to the birds and the trees in the wind. Or just enjoy the view over the lake and to the Alps.

Herrenchiemsee Palace

Highlight • Castle

On the Herreninsel you can visit the most famous attraction of the region all year round: Herrenchiemsee Castle. King Ludwig II had it built on the model of Versailles from 1878 until his death in 1886. The state rooms of the palace can be visited as part of a guided tour. It is also worth visiting the König Ludwig Museum, the gardens with the water features
