The Chiemsee is one of the largest alpine lakes in Germany.  It is south of Munich, right where the Alps start to rise up.  We drove down from Munich to visit the Herrenchiemsee Palace of Kind Ludwig II.

the only way to get to the palace is by ferry

on the way home we stopped at two churches that Mom had noticed before from the autobahn.  This type of church building is very popular in Bavaria and these two are extra pretty as you drive down the road.
