A very relaxed beach in Gmund with a clean sunbathing lawn, and at this point, Lake Tegernsee is also very shallow. It's also very suitable for small children.

A beautiful view of Lake Schliersee and the Catholic parish church of St. Sixtus. It was built in the early 18th century in the Baroque style on the site of previous Romanesque and Gothic buildings. The stucco work and ceiling frescoes are among the early works of Johann Baptist Zimmermann. The church is dedicated to Pope Sixtus II, who died as a martyr in the 3rd century and is venerated as a saint. The building is one of Bavaria's protected architectural monuments.

The parish church of St. Ägidius is the oldest church in the Tegernsee area. While the exterior is rather plain and modest, the interior was remodeled in the Baroque style in the 18th century. Of particular note are the paintings on the high altar and the left side altar, which are by Hans Georg Asam, the father of the two famous Asam brothers. At the foot of the parish church stands the "Maria-Hilf-Kapelle," a plague chapel built between 1634 and 1636 during the Thirty Years' War.
