Island Uninhabited island in Bavaria's Chiemsee
Tiny island in Lake Chiemsee beside Herreninsel and Fraueninsel. Visitors make short boat trips here to combine lake views with nearby Herrenchiemsee palace and Frauenwörth monastery.
How to Get to Krautinsel #
Krautinsel is a small uninhabited island in the Chiemsee lake near Fraueninsel. The usual approach is to take the Chiemsee passenger ferries (Chiemsee‑Schifffahrt) from Prien am Chiemsee (regular service) or from other Chiemsee piers to Fraueninsel; Krautinsel lies immediately adjacent to Fraueninsel and can be reached on foot from the Fraueninsel shore. By car, Prien am Chiemsee is about 80-90 km southeast of Munich via the A8; from Prien town centre it’s a short walk to the ferry pier.
Tips for Visiting Krautinsel #
- Krautinsel lies in Chiemsee between Herreninsel and Fraueninsel and receives far fewer visitors than the two larger islands-there is no regular public ferry stop, so view or visit it by private boat or by boat tours that pass close by.
- Most visitors reach the Chiemsee islands via the regular ferries to Herren- and Fraueninsel; if you want a closer look at Krautinsel plan a small-boat rental or join a skipper who can circumnavigate the islet for photos and shoreline views.
Best Time to Visit Krautinsel #
Visit Krautinsel in summer or shoulder seasons when boat services are operating and lakeside weather is pleasant.
