Climate friendly travel
Comfortably to Rosenheim by train and without traffic jams.
Only 60 kilometers from Munich, yet it's like being on another planet: Rosenheim in the Bavarian Alpine foothills has pretty urban sides, but its true beauty is only revealed when you venture a panoramic view of the surrounding mountain landscape
Die Frage an einem ganz normalen sonnigen Tag in Rosenheim ist ja gar nicht, ob man die Gunst der Stunde nutzen und hinauf in die Berge wandern, marschieren oder klettern soll. Die Frage ist, welcher Gipfel es denn sein darf! Die Auswahl ist schließlich groß: Soll es der Heuberg auf 1338 Meter sein, der einen herrlichen Blick hinunter ins Inntal erlaubt? Oder soll es zum Hausberg des Rosenheimers hinauf: Die Hochries liegt auf 1569 Meter und ist vor allem wegen des fantastischen 360 Grad-Blickes bei Wanderfreunden und Bergfexen jeden Alters beliebt. Vom Chiemgau bis zum Chiemsee – alles drauf, alles drin in dieser Aussicht, die man sich zudem mit einem sehr schönen, etwa zweistündigen Aufstieg vom Wanderparkplatz Spatenau am Samerberg „verdient“.
And these are only two of the numerous peaks that smile at the inclined stroller from the very top, even in the center of Rosenheim while having coffee on the beautiful, almost Italian-looking Max-Josefs-Platz. The Farrenpoint at 1274 meters belongs there just as mentioned as the Rampoldplatte, the Karkopf or the Wildalpjoch, the latter again with a grandiose view of the Wendelstein. With all the mountain splendor around Rosenheim, however, one must not forget that the city of 60,000 inhabitants also has something to offer in the urban area. The constant TV viewers of the "Rosenheim Cops" know this - even if the film bistro "Times Square" is not actually in Rosenheim, but in Stegen on the Ammersee. On the other hand, the Wilhelminian style facades of the so-called Gillitzerblock are worth a visit, as is the Mittertor, one of the city gates, which was used as a customs office in the 15th century. But the best thing to do in Rosenheim is to combine urban with alpine pleasures: Having a view of the mountains at the same time while dining on Lake Chiemsee - that's probably the pinnacle of happiness.
