Alter Wirt

Chiemsee


This massive half-timbered inn with seven centuries of history, situated on Bernau's main street, plates up south German meat slabs and international standards to a mix of locals and tourists. For dessert why not try Heisse Liebe ('Hot Love') – vanilla and chocolate ice cream with hot raspberry sauce and cream.
