At the beginning of the 20th century the Munich aristocracy and European nobility made Tegernsee their summer residence. Today the towns of Bad Wiessee, Gmund, Kreuth, Rottach-Egern and Tegernsee remain an authentic and exclusive holiday destination. Tegernsee is especially well known for its naturally occurring iodine enriched spring water, as well as for its superb golf courses, gourmet cuisine and excellent spa facilities.
