Kreuth: Tourist-Information Kreuth - St. Leonhard
Kreuth sits in the Weißach valley in Bavaria, Germany, where the Bavarian Prealps rise from open meadows to forested slopes. The settlement lies at the southern end of the Tegernsee valley, an area shaped by Alpine farming and routes into the surrounding mountains. St. Leonhard is Kreuth’s Catholic parish church, its tall, slender spire forming a clear local landmark above the village. The dedication recalls Saint Leonard, a figure long honoured in Bavarian rural tradition. Kreuth is also a starting point for walks and mountain routes in the Tegernsee region, while its farms, scattered houses and church maintain the valley’s settled Alpine character.

The Weißach Valley shapes the setting of Kreuth — its stream, meadows and forested Alpine slopes form a dispersed community south of Tegernsee. The municipality extends into the Bavarian Prealps near the Austrian border, with routes leading towards mountain pastures and the higher ground of the Mangfall Mountains. Rather than a lakeside resort, Kreuth retains a rural character, though Tegernsee’s shore is nearby. Local tradition is visible at the Leonhardiritt, an annual horseback pilgrimage honouring Saint Leonard, with decorated horses and carriages. Historic Wildbad Kreuth recalls the area’s spa heritage.

Built around the early medieval Duchy of Bavaria, Bavaria grew into Germany’s largest federal state. The Danube crosses its broad centre, while the Bavarian Alps form its southern edge and include the Zugspitze, Germany’s highest mountain. Munich is the state capital and the home of Oktoberfest, a festival rooted in an 1810 royal wedding. Beyond the metropolis, Franconia’s vineyards, Swabian towns and Alpine resorts reveal how varied this part of Germany can be.

Germany stretches from the North Sea and Baltic Sea coasts to the Alps on its southern border, encompassing northern plains, river valleys and forested uplands. The Rhine, Danube and Elbe have long connected its regions, while the Black Forest and Bavarian Alps give the south a more dramatic relief. Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate and Museum Island reflect the capital’s role in German history and culture. Cologne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, rises above the Rhine, and the Bauhaus movement, founded in Weimar in 1919, transformed modern design far beyond Germany. Regional cooking, Christmas markets and brewing traditions bring further character to daily life. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Germany.
