For a stay in Waging am See, three different local attractions are worth exploring: the Seeteufel lido, the art collection in the Baroque Museum, and a puzzle tour through the town. They offer different focuses—water, art and playful exploration—and therefore provide different ways to plan your day. The wider travel destination of Traunstein complements this local perspective with its own nature and culture attractions.
Water at the Seeteufel Lido
The Seeteufel lido in Waging am See has a gently sloping shore, a designated non-swimmer area and large sunbathing lawns. These features describe different aspects of the lido: the shape of the shore, the swimming area and the space for relaxing. The water can be accessed with reduced barriers via a concrete ramp and a handrail. If access to the water is important to your choice, the ramp and handrail are useful points of reference; check their current condition before your visit. The sunbathing lawns complement the water facilities as another aspect of your lido visit.
Art Collection and Puzzle Tour
The Baroque Museum in Waging am See displays around 270 works of art from several artistic periods in ten rooms. The collection was accessible again from summer 2024. Check the current opening hours before visiting the museum.
The puzzle tour through Waging am See is not fully accessible. This makes it very different from the lido’s low-barrier access to the water: these are two distinct aspects of a visit that you can consider separately when planning. If accessibility is important, ask the tourist information office about any possible changes before travelling.
Nature and Culture in the Wider Travel Destination of Traunstein
Lake Chiemsee and Lake Waginger See are located in the district of Traunstein. The Chiemgau Alps have more than 170 alpine pastures and peaks up to 2,000 metres high. The Seeon Lakes are among the district’s nature reserves; Lake Waginger See and Lake Tachinger See are part of its landscape conservation areas. These officially designated protected areas serve to preserve biodiversity, safeguard rare habitats and protect the natural and cultural landscape. Lakes, alpine peaks and protected areas thus show different aspects of the wider travel destination of Traunstein.
For cultural history, the town of Traunstein offers its own attraction: a historic town walk passes the Kulturforum Klosterkirche and continues to the Salinenkapelle, the Salinenhäuser and the Salinenpark, built in 2019. The Salinenhäuser and Salinenkapelle offer insight into Traunstein’s important salt history; the Salinenkapelle is the largest chapel in Germany. The brewery museum near Jacklturm belongs to Hofbräuhaus Traunstein. The Heimathaus houses a town and toy museum with exhibits on civic culture, sacred art and the history of the saltworks.
There are different options for planning a cultural visit: the Baroque Museum offers works of art from several periods, while the town walk in Traunstein links the history of salt with the historic sites mentioned above. The Heimathaus expands the choice with its town and toy museum and exhibits on civic culture and sacred art.
