Chiemsee Vacation Guide

Chiemsee is one of the largest lakes in Germany. There are three main islands: Herreninsel, Fraueninsel and Krautinsel (which is only inhabited by cows). Ferries take visitors to and from the islands. Herreninsel is the largest of the islands, where King Ludwig II. built one of several castles. It was intended to be a smaller version of Versailles. Fraueninsel is a smaller island inhabited by a few hundred people. It is pretty much just the small town of Fraueninsel, which is very quaint and easy to explore fully because it is so small. The main attraction here is the convent Kloster Frauenwörth. There are of several restaurants, and the smoked Chiemsee fish seems to be a speciality.
