Chiemsee Lake Boathouse
Chiemsee is a freshwater lake in Bavaria, Germany near Rosenheim. It is the largest lake in Bavaria with three splendid islands. Chiemsee is also known as the "Bavarian Sea". The name has a kernel of truth in it: not only does the lake, which has an area of 80 square kilometres, have tides like the sea it also originated from the primeval Thetis Sea which once covered almost half of Europe. The rivers Tiroler Achen and Prien flow into the lake from the south, and the river Alz flows out towards the north. The Alz flows into the Inn which then merges with the Danube. The Chiemsee is divided into the bigger north section in the northeast called Weitsee, and the Inselsee, in the southwest and is a famous recreation and boating area.
