Marquartstein: Berggasthof Staffn - Alm

Built around the medieval Marquartstein Castle, Marquartstein grew into a Bavarian village in the Achental valley. The Tiroler Achen runs through the community, while the Chiemgau Alps rise close by; Hochgern is among the area’s defining mountain landmarks. First documented in the 11th century, the castle remains a clear reminder of the settlement’s early origins. Marquartstein is closely linked with walking and cycling in the surrounding foothills and with excursions into the Chiemgau mountains, but retains the scale and everyday rhythm of a lived-in Alpine village.

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.
