Kreuth / Tegernsee, Bavaria, Germany
A Bavarian resort on Lake Tegernsee with a Japanese-inspired MIZU ONSEN SPA, eight distinct restaurants, and Alpine activities from its own lakeside beach.
Hotel Bachmair Weissach sits directly on Lake Tegernsee, its buildings spreading across the Kreuth shoreline into what the resort calls BW World. A 42-degree onsen pool steams beside cold plunge basins at 2 degrees. Gallery KOKO hangs contemporary art in the corridors. The Montgolfiade sends hot air balloons drifting above the lake.
The resort layers Japanese bathing culture onto deep Bavarian roots. Korbinians Kolleg hosts lectures and talks. Waldfeste and Seefeste mark the seasons with outdoor celebrations. Eight restaurants span Bavarian Gasthof cooking, sushi, fondue, and Italian. This is not a single-note retreat. It is a small village built around water, mountains, and an appetite for contrast.
BW Beach opens directly onto Tegernsee for swimming, paddleboarding, and lake access through the warmer months. The Montgolfiade lifts guests above the valley in hot air balloons, the Alps unfolding below. Paragliding launches from surrounding ridges. Hiking and mountain sports run through the Kreuth terrain year-round.
Winter brings skiing and snowshoeing into the Alpine backcountry. Yoga sessions run on-site. Alpaca walks follow trails near the property. Golf courses sit within reach. The TegernseeCard, included for guests, unlocks transport and regional activities across the valley. Equipment rental covers whatever the season demands.
