Bird Interpretive Trail — South Shore of Lake Simssee

Highlight • Trail

Along the bird trail, local birds are introduced. The wooden boxes, each featuring a picture and a question mark, are particularly interesting. When opened, pictures and information about a past "Bird of the Year" are displayed.

Reed Shore Path at the South Bank of Simssee

Highlight • Trail

The Luisenbrücke bridge over the Neue Achen river at the outflow of Lake Simssee was rebuilt in spring 2025 for €224,000. Fifteen ten-meter-long oak piles were driven into the swampy ground for this environmentally friendly and sustainable wooden structure in the nature reserve. Fishing boats can pass unhindered under the bridge. The first Luisenbrücke bridge on this site was built in 1969 and renovated in 2001.

The path along the reed-covered shore leads through the "Southern Shore of Lake Simssee" nature reserve. Rest areas with benches are located right by the water every few hundred meters.

View of Lake Simsee

Highlight • Viewpoint

Even if this observation tower is not that high, you have the best view over the Simssee here.
Nice that you can use the binoculars for free, but the zoom factor could be a bit larger.

Simssee Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

The newly built observation tower at Simssee near Eichen offers a great view over the lake to the Inntal mountains.
The lower platform with a height of 1.5m can be reached via an inclined ramp. A staircase takes you to the second approximately 4.7m high platform, from which you can see the Wendelstein, the Breitenstein and the Kleiner and Großer Traithen in good weather. Source: chiemsee-alpenland.de

Jetty and view of the Simssee

Highlight • Viewpoint

Not only that you have a beautiful view over the Simssee, the mountain panorama is also beautiful to see here.
Last but not least, you can enjoy the view with a drink on the lake terrace of the Simssee Stuben.
