Thumseebad

Thumseebad is a recreation and dining complex along the shores of the mountain lake at 554 meters (1,820 feet) elevation, with a swimming area and restaurant with outdoor seating. The facility spreads along the water's edge, combining bathing and eating in one location.

The lake was discovered as a vacation destination by Sigmund Freud in 1901, who spent several weeks there with his family. This visit brought attention to the site beyond the local region.

The site hosts the annual open-air concert 'Thumsee brennt', where the Bad Reichenhall Philharmonic performs and the evening concludes with fireworks reflected on the water. This event shapes how local people and visitors celebrate together in a lakeside setting.

Visitors can rent sun loungers, umbrellas, and stand-up paddleboards to use the swimming areas and dining facilities. The site has enough space to spend leisurely time or host private celebrations.

The grounds feature separated zones for private celebrations and corporate events with direct views of the surrounding mountains. Visitors can arrange gatherings in a lakeside setting within the foothills of the Alps.
