If You Go: Tegernsee

We had the opportunity to visit beautiful Tegernsee in late November - it was snow covered and beautiful!  It is just about an hour south of Munich and right at the gateway to the Alps.  If you make your way to Tegernsee, a few recommendations:

Hotel 

• Seehotel Luitpold:  Highly recommend this hotel - it has stunning lakeside views and beautiful rooms!  The underfloor heating felt fabulous in November and the breakfast was fabulous - a huge buffet of cheese, meats, cereal, and bread - plus made to order eggs (~$200/night)

Restaurant 

• Braustuber: This is a HUGE beer hall - there were over 1,700 seats including the patio!!!  For such a small town, it was crazy large.  Amazingly, we had two meals here as nothing was open on a Monday when we were trying to find something walkable.  If you like German food, this is the place for you - lots of sausage, pretzels, and other traditional Bavarian food.  The beer here is good and we actually found it several times in Munich - so it must be popular 

Things To Do 
We had less than a day here, so my recommendations are limited.  In the summer, swimming and spa-ing seem to be the hot ticket items!

• Walk the Beaches: Wow - the views were absolutely stunning.  Snow covered alps and a crystal clear lake, we walked about 2 hours through the town and over to the next lakeside town.  Truly beautiful! 
• Drive Around the Lake: Early the next morning, we drove around the lake, which provided other amazing panoramic views of the town and the surrounding areas.  Just beautiful!
