PRIEN AM CHIEMSEE, GERMANY
16-17 May 2025

Using the DB Navigator App, we purchase tickets on a EuroCity train south to the lakeside resort of Prien am Chiemsee. Prien seems like stepping into a picturesque postcard with beautiful lake views with the Bavarian Alps as a backdrop. It’s not just scenery, though. Prien offers a perfect blend of nature and history in a relatively peaceful setting.
Within less than an hour, we arrive at the Prien train station. From the station, it seems the narrow-gauge, steam-powered train isn’t chugging today, so we board Bus 481 for the mile ride to the Prien/Stock Harbor. From there, we walk the short distance to our lodgings at the Garden-Hotel Reinhart.
