About a 30-minute drive from Seefeld lies Stams Abbey – a very special place of reflection and culture. Prominently located in the Oberinntal valley, the Cistercian monastery was founded in 1273 by Count Meinhard II of Gorizia, originally intended as the final resting place for his family.
Today, the abbey impresses with its magnificent basilica, ornate vaulted frescoes, and the solemn dignity of centuries-old walls. Visitors can tour the monastery, explore the in-house museum, browse the monastery shop, or sample fine brandies from the abbey’s own distillery. The abbey even operates its own Alpine pasture.
A piece of Seefeld’s history also leads here: Knight Oswald, who once became notorious for the miracle of the host in Seefeld, fled to none other than this very monastery after his misdeed.
A place where spirituality, art, and the moving history of Tyrol come together in a truly unique way.

Tip: take the Wankbahn lift to Mt Sonnenberg
If you prefer a leisurely experience, take the nostalgic Wankbahn lift up to 1,780 metres – and you’ll be rewarded with a panoramic view that’s truly breathtaking: an unobstructed view of Mt Zugspitze, Wetterstein mountains, and far across into the Karwendel range.

Just under an hour from Seefeld lies a true highlight: Mt Zugspitze, standing tall at 2,962 metres. Three different routes – the cogwheel train, the glacier cable car, and the spectacular Zugspitze cable car – transport visitors comfortably to the summit all year round.
At the top, an amazing panorama unfolds: more than 400 Alpine peaks in Germany, Austria, Italy, and Switzerland stretch out before you. Whether skiing in Germany’s highest-altitude ski area, relaxing on the sun terrace at Panorama 2962, or taking a summer glacier hike – every day here becomes a summit experience.

Just about 45 minutes from Seefeld lies one of Bavaria’s most beautiful royal palaces: Linderhof Palace – the smallest, yet most personal of King Ludwig II’s castles.
Surrounded by magnificent parks, water features, and arcades, the palace nestles into the serene mountain landscape of the Ammergau Alps. Inside, it dazzles with gold, mirrors, and decorations – a true gem in the French Rococo style.
Particularly striking are the artificial grotto with musical staging and the Moorish kiosk in the park, inspired by Oriental design. A walk through the gardens feels like stepping into Ludwig’s dream world – romantic, playful, and rich in detail.
Tip: Be sure to book a guided tour – the palace’s interior can only be visited as part of a guided visit.

Around 1 hour and 15 minutes from Seefeld, it rises like a painting above the forests: Neuschwanstein Castle, the most famous creation of King Ludwig II – and one of the best-known castles in the world.
With its towers, oriels, and facades, it looks as if it were taken straight from a Disney film. Inside, lavishly decorated rooms tell tales of chivalric romance, Wagner operas, and the dreamlike world of the “Fairy Tale King.”
A walk to the Marienbrücke bridge is well worth it: from there, you’ll enjoy the iconic view of the castle and the deep-blue valley below. The nearby Lake Alpsee also invites you to take a break – surrounded by water, forest, and sweeping views.
Tip: It’s best to reserve tickets online in advance – the castle is very popular all year round.
