Gstadt am Chiemsee is a small lakeside town in Bavaria, Germany, located on the western shore of Lake Chiemsee. It’s surrounded by gentle hills and clear water, with the Chiemgau Alps visible in the distance on a clear day. The town is a quiet alternative to the busier tourist spots around the lake, and many people pass through here when heading to the ferry that takes them to Herrenchiemsee and Frauenchiemsee islands.
One thing that makes Gstadt interesting is how tied it is to the lake itself. The ferry terminal is right in town, and boats leave regularly for the islands. Herrenchiemsee is home to a palace built by King Ludwig II, modeled after Versailles. Frauenchiemsee, on the other hand, has a working Benedictine convent. These islands are just a short ride away and make Gstadt a convenient base if you’re looking to explore without the crowds.
