Taching am See: Discover the lake, trails and churches

In Taching am See, water, outdoor activities and culture offer different ways to enjoy a holiday: Lake Tachinger See with its bathing area and playground, lakeside camping, cycling and pilgrimage routes, and the Catholic Church of St. Peter. This combination can help you plan your holiday base: choose what matters most to you, whether that is swimming, following a route or exploring architecture.

By the lake: swimming, playing and camping

The Taching lido is located in the extensive nature conservation area around Lake Tachinger See. The bathing area has a shallow sandy beach and is particularly suitable for children. The playground at the lido is right by Lake Tachinger See; its equipment includes swings, a seesaw, a climbing tower in the sandpit and a carousel. This gives you two specific options to consider when planning your day: the bathing area and the play equipment.

Lake Tachinger See is 19 metres deep and is one of the warmest lakes in Upper Bavaria. Its depth and shallow sandy beach describe different aspects of this bathing destination: the first refers to the lake, the second to the bathing area.

The municipal campsite is right on the shore of Lake Tachinger See, in the middle of a peaceful nature conservation area. It offers pitches for short- and long-term guests, as well as spaces for tents, caravans and motorhomes. Camping is therefore a specific type of accommodation for guests travelling with a tent or their own vehicle. When planning, you can consider both the length of your stay and the type of camping: the site offers both short and extended stays, and several kinds of pitches.

Lake scenery and trails

Lake Tachinger See formed in one of the basins left behind by glaciers; the lakes are framed by a hilly landscape shaped by glaciers. The Chapel Circular Trail offers wonderful views of Lake Tachinger See, Lake Waginger See and the Alps. This gives you a clear distinction to consider when choosing a route: the Chapel Circular Trail is all about the views.

A cycling loop around Lake Tachinger See can be shortened to around seven kilometres via the lake bridge at Tettenhausen. This is a specific option if you would like to include a shorter version of the loop in your plans. Route 1 of the St. Rupert Pilgrimage Trail leads from Taching to Tettenhausen, around Lake Tachinger See and onwards to Tengling. The routes thus differ in their described character: a cycling loop that can be shortened, a pilgrimage trail with named places, and a circular trail with views of lakes and the Alps.

Churches and Sunday service

The Catholic Church of St. Peter in Taching is a single-nave Late Gothic tuff-stone building dating from the second half of the 15th century. “Single-nave” describes a church with one nave; tuff stone refers to the building material. Together with the date, these details give architecture enthusiasts specific points of reference for understanding the building.

A Sunday service is generally held at St. Paul’s in Taching every Sunday at 10 am. If you are planning to attend a service, check the time again before your trip.
