The Simsseeweg is a wonderful hiking and cycling trail in Upper Bavaria that opens up the western shore of the Simssee lake. It is often considered the "small, quiet brother" of the trails around Chiemsee and is perfect for those seeking nature without the large tourist crowds.

Unfortunately, the cycle path along Lake Simsee offers little view of the lake.

Beautiful cycle path at Lake Simsee

The trail crosses the Sims River over this wooden bridge after it flows out of Lake Sims. The almost eight-kilometer-long watercourse was first mentioned in a document in 1522, and the village of the same name, known as "Sinsa," was already mentioned in 790. The name is possibly of Celtic origin and derives from Senja, which means marshland and reeds.
