Breathing clean air
in a major international winter resort
in the Bavarian Alps...
A varied landscape with colorful meadows and woody mountains that remind one immediately of a
scenery in an operette. Farm houses with its typical colorful paintings
and wooden balconies full of red geraniums, traditional guest houses and
restaurants - that is the German holiday resort along the "German Alpen
Strasse".
Ruhpolding lies in one of the largest valleys of
Bavaria. It covers 149 square kilometers
Ruhpolding has been spoiled by
our Creator with ample beautiful and colorful scenes both in winter
and in summer. It kept its authentic looks and structure of the village
for its inhabitants and this is very much appreciated by its guests.Custom and tradition are in
high esteem and guests are welcome to indulge in verious programs which
makes this part of the world so unique with its local costumes "Trachten", dances, music,
theatre performances, and so on.
But not only that: Ruhpolding
is proud to have over 200 kilometers (140 miles)
good walking and
cycling paths and roads. They are well marked with sign posts.
We can tell you about many
favorite goals, but must mention
the "Rauschberg" (1672 meters)
with its splendid view.
On clear days you must take your camera with you.
There is a cable which takes you up on top of the mountain in 5 minutes.
You can either walk down (good shoes are a must) or take the same cable
down again to your original starting place. Another "must" is the "Unternberg"
which can be reached with a double chair-lift. "Maria Eck" is a
famous place of pilgrimage. It is a nice and shady walk to it and you have
the advantage that you can be sure to enjoy a good convent restaurant with
many specialities including a good glass of Bavarian Beer. Another
interesting destination for both adults and children is the picturesque
"Weitsee", the third lake coming from Ruhpolding. It is one of the warmest mountain lakes
of Bavaria.
Are you or is one of your
children a water lover? Ruhpolding can then offer you a newly renovated
swimming pool with artificially created waves. Open both in winter and
summer. This pool was the first one built in the Alps and was completely
renovated only a few years ago. Of course it includes warm (35 degrees C /
100 degrees F) steamy outside pools!
There are of course many more
other things to do in Ruhpolding: there is even a course in glass
painting (verre églomisé). There are also various museums typical
for the region, you can visit. There are open-air concerts in the "Kur
Park", you can dance to the latest music in one of the discoteques or
listen to tradional "Alp Music" in one of the Alms.
Lots of fun
included!
Ruhpolding has a good
Kindergarten for the toddlers, playing areas, a famous Fairy Tail
Park and special rates for children platters in most restaurants and guest
houses.
Tennis courts (inside and
outside), horse riding (inside and outside), midget golf, a real 9
hole golf course (which is due to be extended to an 18 hole golf course)
situated in a splendid country side and much more that can be enjoyed for
your first class holiday.
A special attraction - and
must also be mentioned - is the fine restoration of the
"Old Schoolhouse".
This building is now open for all our guests in Ruhpolding from 9 a.m. to
10 p.m. They can enjoy the use of a library, there is a television room
and a modern room where seminars, talks and lectures are being held.
A positive view, a friendly
approach are characteristics that have made Ruhpolding to the popular
place it is now: people, churches and chapels, the country side. It is
all in perfect harmony.
"Ruhpolding is
the outstanding place
for a holiday in all seasons"
