Schliersee is a pristine lake located just east of the Tegernsee valley, offering a quieter alternative for water activities. The lake is surrounded by rolling hills and the Bavarian Alps, with a well-maintained 7 km lakeside path perfect for walking, jogging, or cycling. In summer, the clear waters invite swimming from designated beaches, and sailing boats dot the surface. The town of Schliersee on the northern shore has a charming old town with a church and cafes. What makes it distinctive is its peaceful atmosphere and family-friendly vibe, with fewer crowds than Tegernsee.

- Swim at the Strandbad Schliersee beach with sunbathing lawns
- Rent a sailboat or paddleboard from the marina
- Visit the 18th-century St. Sixtus Church in Schliersee town
