Discover Söchtenau: Moor, Lake and Film History

Those looking to discover Söchtenau will find different starting points for planning their trip: a small moor lake, walks and swimming at the Stucksdorfer Moor, and film history at Simssee in Krottenmühl. The landscape and culture each offer a different focus. Depending on what you would like to experience, the natural setting, outdoor activities or a connection to a television series can shape your trip.

Moor Lake and Nature Conservation Area

Lake Siferlinger See is a small moor lake at the end of the large Stucksdorfer Moor. This connection gives the lake a clear place within the surrounding landscape. The larger setting is the Moor- und Tallandschaften bei Söchtenau nature conservation area. It covers about 443 hectares and comprises Stucksdorfer Moos, Hintermoos, Lake Siferlinger See and Schwaberinger Tal. The roughly 443 hectares refer to the entire protected area; the lake is one of the four named units. Those interested in Söchtenau’s natural environment can distinguish between a specific place and a larger area made up of several landscape features. The composition of the protected area makes the broader connection between moor and valley landscapes tangible.

Walks and Swimming at Stucksdorfer Moor

In the municipality of Söchtenau, holidaymakers can enjoy long walks and go swimming at Stucksdorfer Moor. These offer two different options for planning your day: spending time on foot in the moorland or including a swim in your day. If you enjoy walking, you can make that the focus; if you prefer swimming, you can plan around that instead. This contrast can help you decide what kind of day you would like, based on your interests. You do not have to commit to just one activity for the entire trip.

Film History in Krottenmühl

Another point of interest is the film history of Simssee in Krottenmühl. In 2013, Simssee in Krottenmühl, in the municipality of Söchtenau, together with the adjacent restaurant, served as a filming location for “Die Rosenheim-Cops.” If you know the series, the location offers a specific point of recognition; the connection is also clearly dated to 2013. Unlike the description of the landscape, this refers to a specific former use as a filming location. In this way, a natural setting and a historical connection to film offer two distinct ways to discover Söchtenau.

Choose the Focus of Your Trip

When looking for accommodation in Söchtenau, you can first consider which of these starting points you would like to shape your trip. If moors, lakes and walks are your priority, swimming is another possible interest; if you are more drawn to the cultural connection, the film history at Simssee offers a distinct focus. You do not have to give each topic equal weight: you can make the landscape your main reason for visiting and treat the film connection as an extra, or vice versa. This consideration can help clarify your reason for travelling and tailor your accommodation search to your interests. Your personal preferences will then determine which accommodation is right for your trip.
