Discover Waging am See

Three different places offer concrete points of reference when choosing a stay in Waging am See: Seeteufel Beach, the Baroque Museum and the puzzle trail. This lets you tailor your stay to swimming, an art collection or a puzzle route. If you are looking for a hotel, you can start by considering which focus best suits your interests. The details of the shore, collection and route differ considerably and help you explore the local options with a clear idea of what to expect.

Swimming at Seeteufel Beach

Seeteufel Beach in Waging am See has a gently sloping shore, a designated non-swimmer area and large sunbathing lawns. These features offer different points of reference for a visit: the shoreline, a specifically designated area of water and places to lie in the sun. The water can be accessed via a concrete ramp and a handrail, making access easier for people with limited mobility. Check the conditions of this access point on site before planning your visit.

Baroque Museum and puzzle trail

The Baroque Museum in Waging am See contains around 270 works of art from several artistic periods, displayed across ten rooms. The focus here is on a collection, while the beach is defined by its shoreline, swimming area and sunbathing lawns. The layout and the different artistic periods give a visit to the museum its own distinct focus. The puzzle trail through Waging am See offers another way to explore the town; it is not fully accessible. If you plan to take this trail, contact the tourist office before your trip to ask about any changes.
