Althoff Seehotel Überfahrt
Rottach-Egern, Germany · Althoff Collection · Grand Luxury
For four centuries a ferry was the only way across this stretch of Lake Tegernsee, and that's why Josef Hoss named his 1873 guesthouse Gasthof zur Überfahrt, "the crossing." A Bavarian rower still ferries guests in from the water today, ringing a bell as he ties up at the hotel's own dock. Ludwig Thoma, tenor Leo Slezak, and Prince Rainier of Monaco all signed the guest book, and Restaurant Überfahrt held three Michelin stars from 2013 to 2023 under chef Christian Jürgens, now honored with a MICHELIN Three Keys rating.
