Herrenchiemsee

Located in the middle of Lake Chiemsee, Herrenchiemsee Palace is a place where history, architecture, and Bavarian landscape merge in an impressive way. The drive there, especially in a convertible, is already part of the experience – embedded in a picturesque convertible route through Chiemgau, it offers driving pleasure and postcard views alike. King Ludwig II had a palace built here that was inspired by Versailles – lavish, detail-loving, and surrounded by the tranquil backdrop of the "Bavarian Sea."

Arrival by Convertible and Ferry to the Island

Those traveling by convertible should head towards Prien am Chiemsee. The route winds through gentle hills, small villages, and past typical Upper Bavarian landscapes. The convertible route around Lake Chiemsee is one of the most beautiful in the region and a popular part of many convertible tours in Bavaria. Upon reaching Prien, the journey continues by boat to Herreninsel – this combination of car and boat ride makes the visit particularly appealing.

Palace Tour and Garden Ambiance

The palace itself impresses with its opulent design: magnificent halls, golden mirror galleries, and artistically designed rooms. Particularly impressive is the Great Mirror Gallery, modeled after Versailles, but even larger in scale. The palace gardens, with their symmetrically arranged water features and fountains, complete the royal experience. Everything feels as if from another time – ideal for an outing to escape the daily grind.

Around Lake Chiemsee – a Delight for Convertible Drivers

Even beyond the island, driving around Lake Chiemsee is worthwhile. The winding country roads, the expansive views of the lake and mountains, and small towns like Gstadt or Seebruck make the area a paradise for anyone looking to combine relaxation and experiences on their convertible journey. A convertible tour through Upper Bavaria becomes an unforgettable experience with a visit to Herrenchiemsee.
