Warm sunshine and pleasant temperatures mean it’s the perfect time to fire up the grill and enjoy a barbeque with friends. But what about grilling at Lake Tegernsee? Are you even allowed to grill on the lake and if so, where? Servus Tegernsee answers your questions and sheds some light on everyrthing you need to bear in mind when grilling at Tegernsee.
Is grilling / are barbeques allowed at Tegernsee?
Yes. First the good news: grilling is generally allowed at Tegernsee. However, there are – as you would expect – some important rules to follow. Officially, grilling is only allowed in Gmund: at the fire pits on the lakeshore in Seeglas. For a deposit of 25 euros, you can pick up a grill tray from the municipal depot (gemeindlicher Bauhof) and if you return it clean and undamaged, you will get your money back.
Grilling is also “tolerated” at two other locations. While there is no general grilling permit in public places in the town of Tegernsee, you can set up a grill at the Point Lido. Grilling is generally not allowed in the municipality of Rottach. Unofficially, however, there is nothing against meeting at the gravel works (Kieswek) in Rottach for a barbeque.
One final exception: On the day of the Seefest at the Popperwiese it is also allowed to bring your barbeque and enjoy some food with friends.
What are the rules for barbeques at Tegernsee?
In addition to the local regulations, there are general rules of conduct that should be observed when barbequing at Tegernsee. Please do not set up open fires and instead use a suitable portable grill. Make sure your grill is on a fireproof surface and ensure that the fire is under control at all times. After barbecuing, be sure to let the ashes cool down completely before disposing of them correctly.
Barbecue fans should of course also be considerate of the environment and other visitors to Tegernsee. Do not leave any rubbish behind and leave your barbecue area as clean as you found it. If everyone respects nature and avoids unnecessary noise, we can avoid any ban on barbequing being enforced 🙂
Where can I find regional ingredients for the barbeque?
Around Lake Tegernsee you will find various markets, farm shops and butchers that offer a large selection of regional ingredients. Plan your arrival early and you can stock up on fresh meat and crisp vegetables from the local area. Tegernsee producers attach great importance to quality and sustainability, which means you can look forward to fantastic food and at the same time support the local community.
Servus Tegernsee Tip: Be sure to stop by the Kreuth fishery for freshly caught fish, smoked trout, smoked char or salmon trout. Fresh grilled meat and vegetables are available every Wednesday at the “Green Market “Grüner Markt” in Miesbach.
