The climatic spa and Kneipp cure resort of Prien is located on the “Bavarian Sea”, as Lake Chiemsee is also affectionately known. We are in the heart of Upper Bavaria, between Munich and Salzburg, at the foot of the Alps, with a view of the Kampenwand.

00:00Prien is the most northern town touched by the Salt Alps trail.
00:25We are here in the heart of Upper Bavaria, between Munich and Salzburg at the foot of
00:30the Alps with a view of the Campanwand.
00:37Beautifully situated on Lake Chiemsee and also an ideal starting point for a visit to
00:41Heron Chiemsee, the castle on the Heron Insel in Lake Chiemsee or the Frauen Insel, the
00:47smaller of the two islands.
00:49We find the first or last stage of the Salt Alps trail here, depending on whether you
00:54want to hike or cycle from here to the Dachstein or whether this is the start of your journey.
00:59Regardless of which direction you come from, you are greeted by a picture book ideal, just
01:04as we know it from the Chiemgau region.
01:21Halfway between Prien and Grassau, the Salt and More Museum with its café awaits where
01:26you can enjoy a leisurely coffee and cake and find another trace of the salt, as the
01:31museum used to be a pumping station for the brine that was made from the Reichenholz salt
01:36and pumped towards Rosenheim.
01:38All the tools used to maintain the infrastructure, which was made of wood, are on display here
01:43in the museum.
02:00As we come from Prien, the route continues to Grassau along idyllic paths far away from
02:06the daily hustle and bustle.
