Take a deep breath, Agrad Chalets

You can’t see it, but you can feel it – especially when it’s as pure as here in Aschau im Chiemgau, a small town in Bavaria where the exceptional quality of the air has even been proven to be good. The Agrad Chaletdorf is located on the outskirts of the idyllic climatic health resort in a landscape that lets you breathe a sigh of relief.

Breathe deeply in and out

We breathe in 20,000 times a day. Most of the time unconsciously. If you come to Aschau in Chiemgau between Munich and Salzburg, you’ll soon change your mind about breathing unconsciously. It smells of mossy forest, colourful flowers and, above all, relaxation and freedom. In the shadow of the Kampenwand with its three-peaked summit lie lush meadows, dense forests and clear waters.

The Hohenaschau Castle, which dates back to the 12th century, sits enthroned on a hill next to trees. And the charming Bärnsee lake is just a stone’s throw away, very close to Lake Chiemsee. In addition to countless hiking opportunities, you can also take a wonderful break here, as Aschau im Chiemgau is also known as a village of bankers.

“Agrad” on the right place

The idyllic moorland area in unspoilt nature was once a campsite and is now home to the Agrad Chalet Village. You can still spend relaxing days close to nature, find peace and quiet and leave everyday life behind you, recharge your batteries and recharge your batteries. Just a bit more stylish than before. The tiny houses and suites, inspired by Senne huts, have not interfered with any existing ecosystems or dug up any turf. They blends respectfully into its surroundings and were built on behalf of the host family Heinrichsberger by local craftsmen using natural materials such as wood, stone and metal – thought through down to the smallest detail. It is a retreat that leaves plenty of space and air to breathe.

While you linger in the heated outdoor pool, your own sauna or the hot tub, you might wonder how many shades of green you can make out here. Perhaps you can enjoy the surroundings while hiking, swimming in the surrounding lakes, mountain biking or skiing in winter. Or you could simply close your eyes, take a deep breath and exhale for a long time to calm your mind and realise that you have arrived at the right place. By yourself.
