Tourist attractions include Hohenschwangau Castle, Ettal Monastery and King Ludwig II's famous Neuschwanstein Castle. The surrounding area also offers numerous opportunities for hiking, cycling or skiing depending on the season.

Cultural highlights include the annual "Alpentöne" music festival as well as various art exhibitions and theatre performances. For culinary specialities, we recommend a visit to a traditional Bavarian restaurant with regional specialities such as pork knuckle or pretzel dumplings.

The best outdoor activities can be enjoyed while hiking on the nearby mountain panorama in summer or letting off steam on the ski slopes in winter. Even when it rains, there are plenty of activities: a visit to the local museum or a relaxing round of bowling offer a change from the bad weather.

But the most beautiful is around the Staffelsee - an idyllic lake with crystal-clear water and a magnificent view of the mountains. Here you will find peace and relaxation away from the hustle and bustle.

All in all, Bad Kohlgrub is definitely worth a trip! With our Travel Guide you have all the important information at hand to make your stay unforgettable.
