Chiemsee is a freshwater lake in
Bavaria , between
Rosenheim in Germany, and
Salzburg in Austria. It is often called the
Bavarian Sea . The rivers
Tiroler Achen and
Prien flow into the lake; the river
Alz , out of it. The Chiemsee is divided into the bigger, north section, in the northeast, called Weitsee, and the Inselsee, in the southwest.
The region around the Chiemsee is Chiemgau and is a famous recreation area.

Two of the main islands on the lake are Herrenchiemsee (biggest island) and Frauenchiemsee, also called
Herreninsel (
gentleman’s island ) and
Fraueninsel (
lady’s island ), respectively. The third main island,
Krautinsel (
herb island ), is smaller than Frauenchiemsee and is uninhabited.
There are also three very small islands: the
Schalch , to the west of
Frauenchiemsee ; and two unnamed islands, 54 and 80 meters south of the
Krautinsel , with an area of 30 m² each.
