Chiemgau by train: 7 excursion tips for families
This family's experience:

Activities: We started a 60 km long Chiemsee-Umrundung (Chiemsee loop). This was split into three days with two overnight stays. We also started a bike tour and visited the Priener Eichental for a small hike with the kids. "It has water, forest, views, cows and many beautiful places for small microadventures in nature."

Highlights: The Chiemsee-Umrundung was a wonderful experience that we want to repeat. The Priener Eichental offers many opportunities to be in the nature. We had a great time with the kids and saw many things that made them happy ✨
