Locations & directions

There are only few towns that offer their visitors such a varied and diverse spectrum as Grassau with its neighbouring districts of Mietenkam and Rottau in the beautiful Chiemgau region. The mighty foothills of the Alp’s main ridge lie directly on our doorstep and offer hours of peaceful hiking or alpine touring.
Lovingly designed paths lead walkers through dark-green forests and lush meadows. A visit to the natural high moorland (conservation area "Kendlmühlfilze") helps you imagine how our fertile earth may have looked millions of years ago.
Follow in the footsteps of the past. One of the oldest towns in Chiemgau, Grassau, is over a thousand years old and was one of the intellectual and cultural centres in the Middle Ages.
