Seeon-Seebruck: Nature, Water and Culture

Seeon-Seebruck offers nature around the Seeon Lakes and swimming at Seeon Lido. Seebruck Marina and the Stöffling Celtic Settlement are distinct attractions that may also play a role in planning your holiday. This allows you to weigh different interests according to your own priorities.

Nature and Water in Seeon-Seebruck

The environment around the Seeon Lakes supports moors, wetlands and areas of land reclaimed by silting, with great biodiversity. This means the landscape is about more than simply spending a day swimming: wetlands and silting zones are a distinct nature-related attraction alongside the water. If you particularly value landscapes and biodiversity, you can make this a separate focus alongside time for swimming.

Swimming is possible at Seeon Lido. Seebruck Marina has 500 berths, both in the water and on land. These represent different water-related attractions: swimming here, and the marina's berths there. This raises a specific question when choosing a holiday apartment: should your stay revolve primarily around swimming, the natural attractions around the Seeon Lakes, or the marina?

A Route to the Stöffling Celtic Settlement

The Stöffling Celtic Settlement is accessible on foot via the Baumweg trail.

Traunstein as a Broader Travel Destination

The broader travel destination of Traunstein opens up a wider landscape. The Chiemsee and Lake Waginger are in the district of Traunstein; the Chiemgau Alps are also home to more than 170 alpine pastures and peaks reaching up to 2,000 metres. This places lakes and alpine landscapes side by side as distinct regional attractions.

Protected-area listings also show different categories: in the district of Traunstein, the Seeon Lakes are listed as a nature reserve and Lake Waginger and Lake Tachinger as a landscape conservation area. The designated protected areas serve to preserve biodiversity, safeguard rare habitats, and protect natural and cultural landscapes. This connects the region's diverse landscapes with the protection of their habitats.

The historic city walk in Traunstein passes the Kulturforum Klosterkirche and then continues to the Salinenkapelle, the saltworks houses and the Salinenpark, established in 2019. The surviving saltworks houses and Salinenkapelle offer an insight into Traunstein's significant salt history; Salinenkapelle is Germany's largest chapel. The brewery museum, which belongs to Hofbräuhaus Traunstein, is near Jacklturm. The local history museum houses a town and toy museum with exhibits on bourgeois culture, sacred art and the history of the saltworks. The region's cultural attractions thus span salt history, brewing culture, local history and toys.
