Exploring lake Tegernsee
Bräustüberl in the former Tegernsee monastery
The Tegernsee monastery was founded in 746 AD by Benedictine monks. After secularization, the first Bavarian king, Max I Joseph, converted the monastery into his summer residence. Today, it is home to the well-known Bräustüberl. Located directly on the Bräustüberl landing stage, it is a rustic place to enjoy a cold beer from the Tegernsee brewery. Enjoy the cozy atmosphere and perhaps visit the former monastery church of St. Quirinus.
