Brewery Tour 5: White gold and liquid gold – beer & salt

You drive about 56 kilometers from brewery to brewery through the Rupertiwinkel. The tour takes you past rivers and a monastery lake, embedded in the hilly landscape near the Austrian border.

Let's start at the private Alpine brewery Bürgerbräu Bad Reichenhall. Together with its brewery inn with a unique historic dining room, it is located right next to the town hall. From here you start your round tour. You leave the city and reach the banks of the Saalach. There you cycle through the Marzoller Au and cross the river at the Pidinger Steg. You follow the direction of the river to Freilassing to the local Weißbräu. You can only taste the wheat beer from the small private brewery in the in-house brewery inn.

Freshly strengthened and motivated, you head out of town in a westerly direction to Teisendorf. Here, after a guided tour of the private brewery M.C. Enjoy Wieninger hearty delicacies in the Alte Post brewery inn. From Teisendorf it goes through forest and across meadows to the Höglwörther See. The idyllic lake offers a welcome refreshment and on its shore there is a monastery worth seeing. After Anger, the path then runs comfortably downhill back to the Saalach and to Bad Reichenhall.
