Fischbachau: Schwarzenberg - Blick ins Tal
Among the places of Bavaria, Fischbachau stands out for its monastic heritage and position in the Alpine foothills. The municipality lies in the Leitzach valley south of Munich, in the district of Miesbach, where settled farmland meets the rising Bavarian Alps. Its former Benedictine monastery, founded in the 11th century, helped shape the community; the parish church of St Martin and Alexander preserves an important part of that legacy. Above the village, Birkenstein is a Catholic pilgrimage site known for a chapel modelled on Jerusalem’s Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Fischbachau is also close to the Schliersee and Bayrischzell areas, linking local religious traditions with the mountain landscape of Upper Bavaria.

Fischbachau lies in the Leitzach valley in the Bavarian Prealps, where farms and scattered hamlets sit below wooded slopes and limestone heights around Breitenstein. The municipality belongs to the Miesbach district, south of Munich, in a part of Upper Bavaria shaped by Alpine foothills rather than urban development. Its former Benedictine monastery church, St Martin, is a Romanesque basilica and an important medieval religious building. Nearby, Birkenstein’s pilgrimage chapel was modelled on the Holy House of Loreto in Italy. Footpaths and mountain routes lead into the surrounding pre-Alps, while local inns keep Bavarian cooking at the centre of village life.

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.
