Gut Steinbach

Gut Steinbach

Southeast of Munich, near the border with Austria, lie the Chiemgau Alps, a spectacular mountain landscape with high peaks, crystal clear lakes and atmospheric Bavarian-style villages. On a plateau with these Alps within easy reach, Gut Steinbach lies between the Chiemsee and Tyrol. The hotel is a fulfilled childhood dream of Klaus Graf von Moltke. In 2011, he took over the outdated Steinbacher Hof and transformed it into a cozy, complete and quality accommodation hotel. He later had seven detached chalets added around a natural swimming pond. Today, Gut Steinbach is a top hotel, where everything revolves around authenticity, tradition and sustainability.
