Weißach: Nature, Adventure Trail and Film Culture

Weißach combines nature experiences and culture with a distinct contrast: outdoors, the adventure trail along the Weißach and the species-rich Weißachau shape the landscape; indoors, Tegernsee Phantastisch offers a different focus. The cinemas at Lake Tegernsee add international and regional films to the mix. This gives you a range of interests to choose from when planning your holiday.

The adventure trail along the Weißach

The adventure trail runs along both sides of the Weißach and features more than 20 interactive play stations. Most of the stations are on the eastern Weißach embankment path, between the centre of Kreuth (Riedler Bridge) and Wallberg Bridge on the access road to the Wallbergbahn cable car. The one-way route is 3.8 km long. This gives you a specific reference point for planning your day; the interactive stations also focus on discovery and participation.

The wider Kreuth destination is also home to Naturschauspiel Kreuth, an adventure trail for children along the Weißach. It introduces visitors to the Weißachauen protected landscape and its hidden features, both large and small. For families planning outings around their children’s interests, this explicitly child-focused approach is a distinct point to consider within the wider Kreuth area.

The Weißachau landscape

The Weißachau offers a different view of the landscape: the protected area encompasses extensive, species-rich nutrient-poor grasslands, shaped by small streams, wet meadows and forests. The Weißachau has been a protected landscape since 1953. Together, the grasslands, meadows and woodland create a varied landscape.

If you want to give greater weight to scenery and nature when choosing a holiday destination, this offers a specific point to consider. The adventure trail focuses on interactive stations, while the Weißachau foregrounds its varied landscape features.

Indoor experiences and film culture

Tegernsee Phantastisch is a 2,700-square-metre indoor attraction in Weißach. The attraction includes a high ropes course, an interactive trampoline arena, the Weissach Warrior course, a 5D cinema and a virtual reality room. Its indoor setting offers a different focus from the outdoor trails and landscapes.

Weißach is also home to the cinemas at Lake Tegernsee. They show international film productions and regional art-house films. If you want to see a particular film, check the screening times before your visit.

Kreuth in the wider context

The wider Kreuth destination covers 123 km² and stretches from Lake Tegernsee to the Tyrolean border. The Blauberg range marks the boundary, with Halserspitz as its highest peak at 1,862 m. The Kreuth Leonhardiritt takes place in the wider Kreuth destination every year on 6 November.

The Klamm-Bayerwald-Glashütte cross-country ski trail is in the wider Kreuth destination and leads through deeply snow-covered forests and small valleys towards Glashütte. Its availability depends on snow conditions.

Choose the right holiday apartment for your trip

When looking for a holiday apartment in Weißach, you can use your different interests as a starting point: nature and exercise on the adventure trail and in the Weißachau, an indoor experience at Tegernsee Phantastisch, or film culture at the cinemas by Lake Tegernsee.
