Tegernsee is a 6.5-kilometer lake in the Bavarian foothills, ringed by the towns of Gmund, Tegernsee, Rottach-Egern and Bad Wiessee, with the Wallberg behind. The water is drinking-water quality, and most of the shore is public.

Kids can swim at lakeside lidos, ride the passenger boats between villages, or rent a pedal or rowing boat.
