Schliersee

This mountain restaurant sits enthroned over Schliersee village on a picturesque alp on 1,061 m (3,480 ft). To get here you either have to hike up a slope of 300 m (1,000 ft) or take the Schliersbergalm cable car.

The café on Wörth island is open from March to November. During August it's open every day; otherwise, on weekends only.

The Spinnradl was a club with cult status for decades before it moved to the new location at the valley station of Taubensteinbahn cable car. It's packed on weekends. The guests are mostly locals from the surrounding areas and the odd traveller.

This is the original location of the Spinnradl. If Neues Spinnradl is full or you just don't like the feel of a huge disco, just wander a few hundred metres along the street to the basement of Hotel Gundlalm. The parties here are still wild (and some say they are still more excessive than in the new location).

This camping site is on the lakefront on the opposite side of the lake (from Schliersee). The downside is the noise from the close rail tracks (hourly service from 7:00-23:00)

Standard youth hostel, close to the ski resort.

82 alpine-style rooms or apartments with modern features, including an en-suite bathroom and LCD flat-screen TV, as well as restaurant and bar.

This destillery produces some of the finest liqueurs and brandies you can get in Bavaria.

Farm shop, café, beer garden. The shop sells homemade products such as farm cheese, homemade sausages, herbs, milk, and cream.

This distillery produces Bavarian malt whiskey, although the distiller was originally a brewer.

If you came to Schliersee without skiing or hiking equipment, this is the place to get a new set. You can also rent equipment here.

Here you can buy original Bavarian Lederhosn and Dirndl. Prepare to spend a small fortune, though, as the original hand-made attire doesn't come cheaply.
