Holiday in Lenggries

About Lenggries

Lenggries is the heart of the Isarwinkel — one of the most beautiful pre-Alpine regions in Bavaria — and combines alpine flair with family-friendly relaxation. The spa town on the upper reaches of the Isar is situated between the distinctive peaks of Brauneck (1,556 m) and Benediktenwand (1,801 m) and offers an attractive year-round program for outdoor enthusiasts. Brauneck is the local mountain of Lenggries and one of the most popular ski areas in Upper Bavaria: The cable car takes winter sports enthusiasts up to 1,500 meters, where 34 kilometers of slopes and 17 lifts await. In summer, Brauneck transforms into a hiking and paragliding paradise — the thermals on the southern slope make it one of the best launch sites for paragliders in all of Germany. The Isar flows here as a wild, untamed mountain river through a wide gravel bed — a natural experience that is unparalleled in Germany. Wild river rafting, canoeing, and the famous Isar log rafting offer adventures on the water, while the gravel banks are among the most beautiful barbecue spots and swimming areas in the region. The Sylvenstein reservoir — just 20 minutes to the south — impresses with its emerald green water against an alpine backdrop. The bridge over the reservoir is one of the most photographed motifs in Upper Bavaria, and the former village of Fall, which was flooded during the construction of the dam, eerily reappears at low water levels.
