Wildbad Kreuth
The use of the sulfur springs on the Kohlenstein for bathing by the monastery in Tegernsee is documented as early as the 14th century, in 1696 the "old bath" with chapel and bath house was built. After the secularization and the abolition of the monastery in Tegernsee, the bath fell into disrepair from 1803 and was auctioned by the Kreuther farmer Melchior Zahler, who, however, was not interested in the bathing business.
King Max I Joseph of Bavaria then bought the bath in 1818 and had the splendid "Badeanstalt in Wildbad Kreuth" building with an attached ballroom built in the idyllic high valley around 1822. The bathing business got going again, the cures were mainly based on the whey and herbal juices.
The Wildbad Kreuth became one of the leading European spas, the European aristocracy met here for a cure, the Russian Tsars Nicholas I and Alexander I and Emperor Franz of Austria were among the most prominent visitors.
The beginning of the Second World War meant the end of the spa in the "Wildbad Kreuth", a short trial run as a sanatorium after the end of the war failed, in 1973 the spa was finally closed.
The bath is owned by the Bavarian dukes to this day. The Hanns Seidel Foundation, which is close to the CSU, has been leasing the building since 1974 and, after a general renovation, has used it as a place for civic and political education and also as a place for headlines: in 1976, the CSU took its decision to break up the parliamentary group (which was never completed) The CDU and the annual winter retreat of the CSU around the party’s three king is accompanied by a large contingent of journalists with the hope of surprises of all kinds, in 2007 Edmund Stoiber's retreat as Bavarian Prime Minister was initiated here.

Ringberg Castle
2 Ringberg Castle at Tegernsee is the last Wittelsbach building in Bavaria: The complex was built from 1913 under Duke Luitpold of Bavaria, but the construction was never completed in the sixty years until the Duke's death in 1973. Ringberg Castle is considered an architectural spatial work of art, whose somewhat strange architectural style combines various different epochs such as late historicism, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, Heimatstil, and classicism with modernity. The original plan was to build a hunting lodge, and after sixty years of building frenzy, the torso of a castle was created.
The architect was the Munich painter Friedrich Attenhube. At the personal request of the childless Duke Luitpold, after his death, the castle was transferred to the Max Planck Society, which today uses the facility as a meeting place for scientists.
The interior of the facility is not open to the public; an "open day" takes place every two years.
Directions to Ringberg Castle: The castle is located with a wonderful view over the valley at almost 1,000 meters on the high Ringberg halfway up the Hirschberg; Turning off the Schlosstraße from the B307 to the right at the southern end of the village Rottach-Egern towards Kreuth;
