Discover Kreuth
Accommodation in Kreuth
The municipality of Kreuth covers 123 km², stretching from Lake Tegernsee to the Tyrolean border. At the border, the Blauberg mountain range forms a striking boundary; its highest peak is the 1,862 m Halserspitz. There are also a variety of themes for a stay: nature and landscape, an interactive adventure trail along the Weißach, living traditions and winter activities. When choosing a holiday apartment, you can consider whether you are visiting Kreuth primarily for its landscape, a particular experience or a specific date.

Landscape and protected nature
Stretching from Lake Tegernsee to the Tyrolean border gives Kreuth a broad geographical scope. The Blauberg mountain range and the Halserspitz are also clear landmarks within the municipality: at 1,862 m, the Halserspitz is the highest peak in the range. Those interested in nature and landscape will find that Kreuth offers more than a single village centre as a point of reference. The Weißach floodplains add a distinct conservation aspect to this natural setting: they were designated a landscape conservation area in 1953.
Activities along the Weißach
The adventure trail along the Weißach runs on both sides of the river and features more than 20 interactive stations. There is a water playground and a climbing course, as well as activities where visitors can guess bird calls and animal tracks. Scents and aromas can also be discovered there. The trail engages several senses, offering a different focus from simply taking in the landscape. If you would like to combine exercise with observing and taking part, it is a special feature to consider when planning your trip. The variety of stations invites you to explore different activities rather than seeing the trail merely as a route.
Tradition and history in Kreuth
The Kreuth Leonhardifahrt is an annual event, held every year on 6 November. If you would like to experience this tradition, you can plan your stay around that date. Wildbad Kreuth also has a long history. The spring there has been known since at least the 15th century. Bathing operations ceased in 1973.
Winter experiences
For cross-country skiing, the Klamm-Bayerwald-Glashütte trail is a specific option in Kreuth. It leads through snow-covered forests and small valleys towards Glashütte. This describes a route through forest and valley sections, without providing further details about its length or duration. International luge competitions offer another connection to winter sports: Kreuth hosts these competitions on the Kreuth-Klamm World Championship luge track. The cross-country ski trail and luge competitions thus represent different winter activities that may factor into planning a stay in Kreuth.
Planning your trip
The Kreuth Tourist Information Office provides information on hiking and cycling in its hiking corner. It is a place to visit if you are interested in either of these activities. For further orientation around the area, you can also visit the pages about Enterbach and Weißach.
Once you have familiarised yourself with the area, you can also consider your accommodation. A holiday apartment in Kreuth is particularly worth considering if you would like to include these different aspects of the area in your holiday plans.
