Fischhausen: Accommodation on Lake Schliersee with Trails and Culture

St. Leonhard is one of the cultural attractions in Fischhausen. Depending on your travel plans, you can combine nature, the lakeshore, a museum visit, and a traditional procession. The following points of reference will help you choose a suitable location for your days in Fischhausen.

Fischhausen on Lake Schliersee: Guidance for Finding Accommodation

On the southern shore of Lake Schliersee, traditional fishermen’s and boat houses line up in Fischhausen. This part of the village is therefore visibly connected to the lakeshore landscape and offers a concrete starting point for excursions around the lake. If you value walks, scenery, and cultural attractions when looking for accommodation, you can base your choice on your planned destinations for the day.

You can also include the journey in your planning. The BRB RB 55 line runs on the Munich–Bayrischzell route and travels via Schliersee and Fischhausen-Neuhaus to Fischbachau. The Markus Wasmeier Open-Air Museum is in the immediate vicinity of Fischhausen-Neuhaus station and can be reached by the Bavarian Regiobahn every hour. For a stay without a fixed excursion program, this connection is an important initial point of reference; you should then compare the specific accommodation location with your personal routes and destinations.

Hiking Trails with Different Profiles

The trails in and around Fischhausen appeal to different preferences. The historical and nature trail to Hohenwaldeck Castle Ruins starts in Schliersee-Fischhausen. The moderately difficult route is 4.0 km long and takes around 1 hour and 40 minutes. You can use these details directly for planning your day and assessing your personal fitness.

The W6 hiking trail, “Oberleiten – Hohenwaldeck Castle Ruins – Fischhausen,” leads to Hohenwaldeck Castle Ruins and then in the direction of Fischhausen. From a viewpoint, you can enjoy a view of Lake Schliersee and the Alpine foothills. Anyone wanting to combine a hike with a specific historical destination will find a different focus here than on a pure lakeside walk.

The circular trail around Lake Schliersee is approximately 7 km long, mostly flat, and has very good trail conditions. This means your planning can include both a moderately difficult route with castle ruins and a longer, predominantly flat circular trail.

Lakeshore, Boats, and a Cultural Attraction

The landscape around Lake Schliersee can also be viewed from the water. Fischhausen Boat Rental at Lake Spitzingsee offers rowboats, pedal boats, electric boats, and SUPs. Which of these options suits your stay depends on your preferred activity and the time available. If you would like to include another location in your search alongside Fischhausen, you can also compare Spitzingsee.

A prominent cultural attraction in the district is the Catholic subsidiary and pilgrimage church of St. Leonhard. The chapel has an elongated octagonal shape with rounded corners and is designed in the so-called Miesbach-Schliersee style. Inside, there are ornaments created by local artists. The church therefore provides a distinct sightseeing focus alongside the trails and lakeside landscape.

The Leonhardifahrt Throughout the Year

The traditional Leonhardifahrt procession from Schliersee to Fischhausen has existed since the 17th century and takes place every year on the first Sunday in November. The procession ends at St. Leonhard Church with the blessing of the horses and their riders. A three-time procession around the Leonhardi Church also takes place, during which horses and pilgrims are blessed; afterwards, everyone celebrates a church service outdoors together. If you would like to experience this tradition, the date is a decisive factor in planning your trip and choosing the period of your stay.
