Discover Riedering on Lake Simssee

Riedering on Lake Simssee

Riedering is located on Lake Simssee. When planning your trip, it is easy to distinguish the area’s main attractions: the pilgrimage church and Leonhardiritt represent religious heritage and tradition, while the nature reserve and several themed stations focus on nature, landscape and specific topics. There are also hiking and cycling trails, a golf course, a viewpoint and a bathing area. If you are looking for a hotel in Riedering, these interests can help you decide what to focus on during your stay.

Nature and Themed Stations

The “Südufer des Simssees” nature reserve has existed on the southern shore of Lake Simssee since 1993. It provides a clearly defined point of reference for nature in Riedering, right on the lakeshore.

The geology station in Moosen uses impressive erratic boulders from different periods to illustrate how Lake Simssee and the landscape in and around Riedering were formed. The “Fische im Simssee” station in Ecking offers a different focus: bream, carp, pike, whitefish and zander are depicted on a rotating cylinder. The two stations differ in content: Moosen explores the formation of the lake and landscape, while Ecking depicts fish species.

At the Wagenstaller organic food mill in Obermühl, the “Energie” station introduces the topic of energy conversion through a playful water feature and explanatory panels. The water feature makes the topic tangible, while the panels provide explanations. In contrast to the stations in Moosen and Ecking, Obermühl focuses on a different subject: energy conversion rather than landscape formation or fish depictions.

Culture and Views

The branch and pilgrimage church “Maria Stern und St. Johann-Baptist” is located in Neukirchen and houses the devotional image “Maria Stern.” The annual Leonhardiritt is an important event in Pietzing and its surroundings. These offer two different cultural points of interest: a sacred site with its devotional image and a recurring annual tradition. At artist Michael Moroder’s studio in Wolferkam, visitors can learn about some of his works and the stories behind them.

The Kapellenberg in Söllhuben is considered Riedering’s most beautiful viewpoint. From there, you can see the chain of the Rosenheim mountains. Unlike the themed stations, with their explanations, the focus here is on the panorama.

Activities on Lake Simssee

Well-maintained hiking and cycling trails make it possible to explore Riedering’s rare flora and fauna. The Patting-Hochriesblick golf course offers a different activity: its reversible 9-hole course can be played in either direction. The two options differ in focus: on the trails, exercise goes hand in hand with exploring nature, while golf stands out for its unusual course layout, which allows play in two directions.

The bathing area by the Seewirt in Ecking on Lake Simssee has a children’s beach. The district is responsible for matters concerning the bathing area.
