A 1-hour train ride southeast of Munich is the idyllic Tegernsee, an alpine lake with a lot going for it. No secret to wealthy Germans (and a favorite upper-class vacation destination), the Tegernsee can nevertheless be enjoyed perfectly well even by those who haven't won the Lotto.
A fun leisure activity on a nice day is simply to take a boat around the lake. Boats depart frequently from a number of docks in Tegernsee town and elsewhere along the lake. If you're really in the mood to relax, buy a day-ticket and ride around to your heart's content.
In addition to all of the above, Tegernsee has another thing going for it: it is the site of the Tegernseer Hofbräu Brewery. The brewery restaurant is an excellent place to stop by for some lunch and a mug of some of Bavaria's tastiest beer.

Very well written. I love the area. See http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/c47f/8f0f/
Tegernsee sounds like fun - hop-on hop-off boats and then this so yummie food :-)) Haha, have you ever considered to write a beer guide for Bavaria ? You are a real expert :-)
a great page about a nice place to visit ! For me it was rather a bad place to work at for 1 season, but that is just for the hotel I was working at...
Looks like a great place to take boat cruises. Thanks for sharing.
