Lenggries: Bergstation Brauneck
Lenggries is best known in Bavaria for Brauneck, its 1,555-metre local mountain in the Bavarian Prealps. Rising above the Isar valley, it is linked to the town by the Brauneck Bergbahn and serves as a major mountain-sports area within reach of Munich. Its slopes belong to a developed ski area, while marked paths cross the ridges and alpine pastures. Down in the valley, Lenggries has the character of an Upper Bavarian market town, with farmsteads and grazing land alongside the river. Dairy farming remains an important part of the foothills’ traditional land use. These hills form the northern edge of the Alps, where settled valleys meet steep forested slopes.

The Isar defines the setting of Lenggries — its valley places this Upper Bavarian market town between the river’s gravel banks and the first high slopes of the Bavarian Alps. Brauneck rises south of the centre and is served by the Brauneck mountain railway, drawing skiers in winter and walkers and cyclists in the warmer months. The parish church of St James stands in the town, while traditional Alpine farmhouses underline Lenggries’ rural character. Part of the Tölzer Land region, it lies upstream from Bad Tölz on a route that continues towards the Austrian border.

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.
