Simssee Lakeside Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The section is great to drive. Here you drive partly on asphalt and to a large extent on non-asphalted ground. The cycle path leads along long stretches along the railway track, on the other side there is a forest and behind it the Simssee.

Simssee Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

The newly built observation tower at Simssee near Eichen offers a great view over the lake to the Inntal mountains.
The lower platform with a height of 1.5m can be reached via an inclined ramp. A staircase takes you to the second approximately 4.7m high platform, from which you can see the Wendelstein, the Breitenstein and the Kleiner and Großer Traithen in good weather. Source: chiemsee-alpenland.de

St. Andreas in Thalkirchen

Highlight • Religious Site

Thalkirchen is situated in a particularly attractive landscape on the "Rain", a high terrace above the Ache. It was first mentioned in a document in 1080 as "Talchirchin". In 1160, the Talchirchin estate was placed under the control of the Baumburg monastery by Arnold, a ministerial of Count Gebhard von Sulzbach. It later came into the possession of the Hirnsberg-Aschau family. There were only the two farms on the Rain and the small church next to it. It was built around 1100 and is considered the original church of the entire area, even older than Hirnsberg with its St. Mary's Chapel in the castle.
Parts of this Romanesque church are still preserved as the front side wall of the current church. The cemetery was also only at the Thalkirchen church from the beginning. The Blessed Sacrament was later transferred to Hirnsberg. In 1374, Thalkirchen was first mentioned as a branch of Söllhuben. Around 1550, the Romanesque room received a Gothic choir (source: erzbistum-muenchen.de/PV-Riedering/filialkirche-st-andreas/94548).

Achthal Valley Trail

Highlight • Trail

Through the Achtal, the way to Söllhuben in summer is beautifully shaded and much quieter than the tar road up to Hirnsberg.

View of Riedering

Highlight • Viewpoint

Riedering is considered to have Celtic origins. It was first documented in 788 as "Hrodheringas." Later, the village belonged to the Neubeuern estate under the Barons von Thurn and the Counts von Preysing. The original parish of Riedering was under the jurisdiction of Herrenchiemsee Abbey from the mid-12th century. Riedering became an independent political municipality in 1818 as part of the administrative reforms in Bavaria.

Bridge over the Sims River

Highlight • Bridge

The trail crosses the Sims River over this wooden bridge after it flows out of Lake Sims. The almost eight-kilometer-long watercourse was first mentioned in a document in 1522, and the village of the same name, known as "Sinsa," was already mentioned in 790. The name is possibly of Celtic origin and derives from Senja, which means marshland and reeds.
