Getting here
Getting to Tegernsee
Flying
Munich Airport (MUC) is the one to aim for, about 90 km away and roughly 45 minutes by car. Munich city centre takes just as long.
By train
The BRB runs from München Hauptbahnhof towards Tegernsee and towards Miesbach. Which station is right depends on your hotel:
- MiesbachBayerischer Hof, Pension Wendelstein
- GmundTegernseer Hof, Landhotel Kapler Alm, Margarethenhof am Tegernsee
- TegernseeCaro & Selig, Althoff Seehotel Überfahrt
You may want a car
A car is a good idea, not just for getting to and from the airport but also if you want to get around while you are here. On Friday and Saturday, shuttles collect you from the hotels and bring you back at night, so you will not need one for the wedding itself. You can also take the train, as described above, or a taxi from the airport, which would be around €200 per trip. There are plenty of taxis at the airport, but they are scarce at Tegernsee itself, see the Shuttles section.
Shuttles
We Will Pick You Up
On Friday and Saturday, shuttles run between the hotels and the venues. You get collected at your hotel and brought back at night, so nobody has to drive or hunt for a taxi.
Friday
From your hotel to Freihaus Brenner, and back again after the evening.

Important about the shuttles
The shuttles stop at all of these hotels: Bayerischer Hof, Tegernseer Hof, Caro & Selig, Althoff Seehotel Überfahrt, Landhotel Kapler Alm, Pension Wendelstein, Margarethenhof am Tegernsee. If you are staying somewhere else, please let us know and we will help you organise your travel. Get in touch with Melanie, our wedding planner. Or rent a car.
See contactsTaxis are very scarce
There are very few taxis in and around Tegernsee, unlike at the airport. In August it will be very difficult to get one here, and you could be waiting a long time. Please do not count on a taxi to get you home at night.
The valley
While You Are Here
Tegernsee is simply a beautiful place. If you are staying a few days longer, this is the programme we would recommend.
Things to do
Swim in the lake
We really recommend going for a swim in the lake. The water feels amazing.
Ride the Wallbergbahn
A cable car from Rottach-Egern up to 1,620 metres, then a few hundred metres on foot to the little chapel at the top. The view from up there is fantastic.
More (opens in a new tab)Get on a boat
The boat reaches Tegernsee, Bad Wiessee, Rottach-Egern and Gmund. A lovely way to discover the other villages.
More (opens in a new tab)Cycle around the lake
There is a circular route that runs right along the water. Rent a bike in any of the towns.
Walk up to an alm
Trails go up from the valley floor in every direction. Schwarzentenn Alm and the Siebenhütten are the easy, pretty ones, and there is food at the top.
Worth a look
Tegernsee Abbey
The old monastery on the eastern shore, now home to the ducal brewery and its Bräustüberl. Worth walking into even if you are not stopping for a beer.
Rottach-Egern
You can shop well here, with plenty of stores. There is also a long lakeside promenade and the mountains standing up directly behind it.
Bad Wiessee
A spa town on the western shore, quieter than the rest.
Gmund
The northern end, and the closest village to where we are getting married. This is where you will find the Seeglas lido.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
When do you need to know by?
By 31 March 2027, so we can finish the planning. The form is in the RSVP section further up this page.
Can I bring a plus one?
We would love to say yes to everyone, but the guest list is limited, so we can only seat the people named on your invitation. If there is a particular reason you would like to bring someone, talk to us and we will see what we can do.
Can we bring our children?
Please get in touch with us directly and we will work something out together.
Is it indoors or outdoors?
Friday evening at Freihaus Brenner is outside, weather permitting. On Saturday the ceremony and the reception are outside too, then dinner and the party move into a marquee. If the weather turns, everything moves in.
What will the weather be like?
Mid-August is usually somewhere between 20 and 28 degrees with a lot of sun. Germany does not always cooperate, so bring a jacket or something warm for the evening. It drops quickly once the sun goes behind the mountain.
Is there anything you would like as a gift?
Honestly, you making the journey is the gift. If you would still like to give us something, we would much rather you put it towards a project that matters to us.

If you'd like to be involved, or just need an answer we have not given here, these three know more about the running order than we do.
