Transportation  

Take the horse carriage on Herrenchiemsee

Take the horse carriage on  Herrenchiemsee, Chiemsee

 Bamara Says:  There are several horse carriages at the landing of the boat to Herrenchiemsee. It`s nice to ride thru the natural garden. Especially in the summer heat it`s more relaxed than a 20 minute walk. For groups they accept reservations. 

Warnings Or Dangers  

Don`t wear high heels

Don`t wear high heels, Chiemsee

 Bamara Says:  You might think that I`m joking, but I`m not. I have seen some ladies entering the boat and the island with extremly high heels shoes, complaining about the uncomfortable pathes. It`s a relaxing, sporty area and no catwalk :-)

 Mr and Mrs Islands are the main attractions in the area. On the islands, you can stroll through / around castles and monasteries. Plus, a ferry trip to these islands can brighten up your day.
