Gelebte bayerische Tradition: Wald- & Seefeste im Tegernseer Tal

Dancing, laughing and enjoying life under the open sky - summer festivals have a very special magic. The Parkhotel Egerner Höfe wants to convince its guests of just that and invites them to a series of traditional festivals at Lake Tegern.

In Germany's southernmost state, customs play an almost overriding role. Bavaria doesn't just rhyme with celebration; festivals are part of the region's history. For example, probably the best-known tradition, the Oktoberfest, brings together locals and vacationers in lederhosen and dirndl for a huge party in Munich every year. And not far from the Bavarian capital, in the Tegernsee Valley, locals focus on cultivating the local folklore. Here, the only lake and forest festivals in the state are held annually during the summer months. Also the Parkhotel Egerner Höfe celebrates this and invites guests to a special tradition experience now.

Lake and forest as a festival element

Blumengestecke, bunte Girlanden, Volksmusik, Schützen in Trachten und dazu gutes Essen und Trinken – wenn einer feiern kann, dann sind es kleine Dorfgemeinden mit ihren vielen heimischen Vereinen. Auch im Tegernseer Tal sind Sommerfeste Tradition. Von Mitte Juni bis Mitte August verwandelt sich die Region in einen lauschigen. bunten Hotspot für alle, die bayerische Traditionen lieben. In dieser Zeit finden sich die Gemeinden rund um den See abwechselnd für Wald-, Trachten- und Seefeste zusammen, ausgerichtet von ansässigen Ski-, Sport- und Musikvereinen. Gäste sind hier gleichermaßen willkommen wie Einheimische. Neben Musik und Tanz wartet ein abwechslungsreiches Programm auf die Besucher zwischen Jung und Alt.

In 2023, the festival season already started on June 9 in Kreuth with the two-day forest festival of FC Real Kreuth. All dates of this year's forest and lake festivals at Lake Tegernsee can be discovered here.

The perfect luxury hideaway

At the southern tip of Lake Tegern, in the middle of the community of Rottach-Egern, lies the Parkhotel Egerner Höfe. After exciting and days full of culture at one of the summer festivals, you return to your cozy double room here or to one of the noble suites.

For the interior, materials from the region were used. In this way, modern elements are complemented with wood and stone. The special attention to detail is visible in every room. Here you can switch off and come to rest.

Natural relaxation

Tranquility is also the keyword in what is probably the most magnificent area of the hotel, the Mangfall Spa. There's not only the 20-meter-long pool, which leads out into the hotel park and in which you can casually swim your laps, but also the pleasantly warm sauna area, in which mind and soul are brought into harmony.

If you long for a very private treatment you'll also find what you are looking for here, whether in the soothing massages or the beauty treatments. Because wellness has a lot to do with feeling good about your body, the in-house gym offers plenty of high-quality and state-of-the-art equipment for personal training. Regular yoga classes round off the offer.
