The Tegernsee is a lake in the
Bavarian Alps in southern Germany. The lake is the centre of a popular recreation area 50 kilometres (31 mi) south-east of

Tegernsee , as well as
Bad Wiessee ,
Kreuth ,
Gmund , and
Rottach-Egern .
The lake is some 6.5 kilometres (4.0 mi) in length, with a width of 1.4 kilometres (0.87 mi) and an area of 8.934 square kilometres (3.449 sq mi). It reaches a maximum depth of 72.6 metres (238 ft), with an average depth of 36.3 metres (119 ft), and the normal water level is 725.5 metres (2,380 ft) above sea level.

The buildings of the former Benedictine monastery of
Tegernsee Abbey lie on the banks of the lake. Now in private hands, they are now known as
Schloss Tegernsee .
The area around the lake is linked to Munich by rail through trains of the
Bayerische Oberlandbahn , which, in the final part of their journey, travel over the tracks of the privately owned
Tegernsee-Bahn . Pleasure boat services serve several points on the lake, and are operated by boats of the
Bayerische Seenschifffahrt company.
