Miesbach, District capital in Upper Bavaria, Germany

Located 48 kilometers southeast of Munich at an elevation of 697 meters, Miesbach extends across 863 square kilometers of Bavarian terrain.

The district originated in 1803 through the consolidation of territories formerly owned by Hohenwaldeck county, Tegernsee Abbey, Weyarn Abbey, and Valley County.

The town maintains its position as a center for Bavarian costume preservation, with local inhabitants continuing to wear traditional Tracht garments.

Visitors can reach two major lakes from Miesbach: Lake Tegernsee to the west and Lake Schliersee to the east, both offering water activities.

In 1882, Miesbach launched the first long-distance electric power transmission line, connecting the town to Munich through a 1,343-voltage system.
