The Waldfest happens around the Tegernsee area during the summer and is a great way to spend a day…read moreor evening in the countryside. It changes locations for a 3 week period and is held in villages around the Tegernsee. The one we went to was in Ostin and it was my first time ever at a Waldfest. It was organized on the village grounds amongst the trees and farmland. The location was idyllic and almost everyone was dressed in traditional wear. They charge a small entry fee of €2 and the beer is cheaper than most places in Munich. There were plenty of food stalls and the food was quite good. Hearty Bavarian meals and desserts. There was a guy walking around with a basket of schnapps and you could have one or two of those after your meal. This one served Maxlrainer beer which is one of my favourites from around the area. The band was belting out tunes and it was wonderful to see the sunset with Maß in hand ;-)) I will definitely come back again with friends next year. It's a wonderful experience and done beautifully. It was not overcrowded and everyone was in a good mood and enjoying themselves. A great way to discover the amazing Bavarian countryside :-))

We spent two nights here recently and had a chance to dine at the restaurant on premises. Loved it…read morevery much and the hospitality from the staff here was truly reflective of the Bavarian "gastgeber" attitude, friendly, welcoming and going out of their way to look after you. The room we had was fabulous albeit slightly dated and missing the luxury I would expect in a hotel at this price like bathrobes, plush towels and good toiletries. But everything else was on the money. Breakfast was very nice and extensive, dinner here was excellent and I loved my cappuccino soup and apple crumble. Good wine list and super friendly service. Dogs are allowed here for an extra charge and they had a nice bowl and bed waiting for our dog when we arrived with food and so on. The hotel is on a hiking trail so you can literally step out and go walking into the mountains. The views from up here is fantastic and it's very quiet during the night. All in all a fabulous experience we would happily repeat again.
