Wonderful clear monastery lake with extremely many fish! The monastery with its beautiful hotel is an excellent starting point for many great hiking and cycling tours. The Klosterbräu is more than recommended for a break.

March 2, 2025,Vom Griessee nach Klosterseeon zum Waltenbergstüberl

Today a very relaxed, little Sunday hike in glorious weather:

With dear friends from Griessee to Waltenbergstüberl in Seeon.

Beautiful paths through forest and meadow, past idyllic lakes. Watched birds, admired the first spring flowers, laughed and chatted a lot - what more could you want!? 🥰

August 28, 2024,🇩🇪 Kurze Rundwanderung von Seeon vorbei am Klostersee, Brunnensee und Griessee

I knew Seeon Monastery primarily as a meeting place for the CSU, but it is picturesquely situated on a lake and has a beautiful church. This short hike leads mainly through shady forests and is a cool route, especially now in midsummer. There are several places to swim along the way - so don't forget your swimwear!

February 8, 2025,Kloster Seeon Runde zum Griessee und Weinbergblick🥾☀️😃

Today from the parking lot🅿️ Seeon Monastery to the Weinberg viewing point. Then walked around the Griessee and back again to visit the Waltenbergstüberl café. The terrace was full, so we only got seats in the café. Back to the 🚘 over the footbridge, first walking around the monastery.
I did this walk today because of @Romy55. Good idea👍

August 20, 2023,Seeoner Seenplatte

At the end of our weekend in the Chiemgau, we went on a small tour at Kloster Seeon around the Seeoner Seenplatte in picture-perfect weather.

The monastery itself is beautifully situated on the monastery island in the monastery lake. Here you can also stop off and when the weather is nice, sit on a terrace by the lake and eat …

December 31, 2022,Seeon, vom Klostersee zum Griessee bei zu warmen Wetter 🌞🍀🎄🙋🏼‍♀️🚶‍♀️

Where I am usually alone, today was migration of peoples.
After many, many dogs including walkers, a pony and a horse actually came.
I heard again and again that they are looking for peace and quiet here, because shots are being fired everywhere.
My youngest even accompanied me.👍

The route could not be precisely kept. Since the specification of the hiking trails did not work, according to the specifications it had to go over a meadow, which does not correspond to a hiking trail
