Fasting hotel between Munich and Salzburg: The location of the Tannerhof

The essentials at a glance

• The Naturhotel Tannerhof can be reached in just about 1.5 hours by car from both Munich (75 km) and Salzburg (102 km).
• For guests from Austria, the Leitzach Valley is often closer and faster to reach than many domestic health resorts.
• With hourly connections from Munich, the train offers a relaxed, completely car-free journey in just 1 hour and 20 minutes.
• Our hotel's own pickup service with the Tannerhof taxi seamlessly covers the remaining 1.2 kilometers from Bayrischzell train station.
• The 16-hectare grounds offer protected seclusion at the end of the valley, right in the border region between southern Germany and Austria.

Arriving by car: Equally close from Munich and Salzburg

Those seeking a path to a healthier life will find a secluded haven at Naturhotel Tannerhof—one that is surprisingly central. For a restorative Body Detox therapeutic fast, our retreat is ideally situated not only for visitors from Bavaria, but also for guests travelling from Austria. Nestled in the idyllic Leitzachtal valley, our location extends our reach far beyond the Bavarian capital. In fact, Mozart's city of Salzburg is almost as close to our doorstep as Munich, with both cultural hubs just about a 90-minute drive away. This makes the Tannerhof often faster and easier to reach for many holidaymakers from Austria than renowned health resorts within their own borders.

Traveling by your own car is smooth and straightforward from both directions. If you are arriving from the north or west via Munich, leave the A8 motorway at the Weyarn exit and follow the road via Miesbach, past Schliersee, directly into the alpine panorama of Bayrischzell. If you are approaching us from the east or Austria, take the route via the Inn Valley from Salzburg. After crossing the border, the road leads from Kufstein over the scenic Ursprung Pass up into our high valley. Both routes offer expansive views of the mountain peaks as you arrive, gently preparing you for the time-out ahead.

As your journey nears its end, our mountain hideaway begins to reveal itself. The signs will guide you directly to the expansive grounds of the Tannerhof, where you can leave your car behind and give yourself space to recharge. After a relaxed drive along the motorway and through the Alpine valleys, your true arrival begins in the mindful seclusion of our home.

Arrival by air: Munich and Salzburg international airports

For guests traveling from further afield—whether from northern Germany, western Austria, or abroad—the location of our hotel in the German-Austrian border region offers a dual advantage. The Naturhotel Tannerhof is excellently connected via two international airports, making it easy to plan your arrival for a Body Detox fasting retreat. Both Munich Airport and Salzburg Airport are just about an hour and a half's drive from Bayrischzell. This geographical balance highlights how our sanctuary is equally accessible to travelers from both countries, nestled in the heart of the Alpine region.

From Munich Airport terminal, there is also a comfortable and reliable rail connection directly into our Bavarian mountains. The train journey to Bayrischzell takes just 2 hours and 11 minutes. After landing, you can relax as you transfer to the S-Bahn and then the Bayerische Regiobahn, which will take you directly into the quiet Leitzachtal valley. Those landing at Salzburg Airport typically choose to rent a car for the remaining distance, traveling through the Inntal valley and across the border into our sheltered valley.

Regardless of which airport you choose, your journey to us begins at the terminal as a conscious step toward a new experience. The drive through the Alpine foothills gently prepares you for the simplicity that awaits you on our expansive grounds. Upon request, we are happy to arrange a taxi to pick you up directly at Bayrischzell train station and bring you up to the Tannerhof, ensuring your fasting retreat begins completely free of stress.

Sustainable and car-free: The comfortable way to travel by train

For many of our guests from Germany and Austria, the journey of letting go begins not at reception, but on the train. Choosing a car-free journey is often the very first step toward leaving everyday life behind and easing into a rejuvenating experience like Body Detox therapeutic fasting.

The Bayerische Regiobahn runs hourly, taking you directly from Munich to Bayrischzell in just one hour and twenty minutes without any transfers. Connections from Salzburg and the Austrian region via Rosenheim are also straightforward, allowing you to use your travel time as a calming transition into the Alpine seclusion.

• Direct connection: Hourly departures from Munich Central Station (Hauptbahnhof) on the RB 55 line.
• Scenic drive: The route takes you past the Upper Bavarian lakes and directly into the Mangfall Mountains.
• Personal welcome: Our complimentary Tannerhof taxi will pick you up directly from Bayrischzell train station, just 1.2 kilometers away, and bring you safely to your destination.

As soon as the taxi drives up the hill to our hotel, you will feel the protective embrace of our valley. The gentle crunch of the gravel entrance and the warm welcome mark the beginning of your getaway in our mountain hideaway.

Geographic highlight: Protected seclusion in the heart of the region

Those looking for the Tannerhof nature hotel will find it at the end of the valley. But this end is not a loss; it is a gain in protection and focus. The Leitzach Valley is not remote in the sense of being difficult to reach, but secluded in the sense of being a protective retreat. Here, on our hotel's 16-hectare, gently rising grounds, an atmosphere unfolds that provides the ideal setting for profound regeneration.

This protected geography is invaluable, especially for health retreats like Body Detox fasting. As your gaze wanders over our own meadows up to the Wendelstein, your mind can find rest far away from the noises of everyday life. This topographical sense of security naturally supports inner reflection and physical release.

• Sheltered valley location: The valley basin protects against harsh winds and visual noise, which noticeably facilitates the relaxation of the nervous system.
• Expansive grounds: The 16 hectares of hotel-owned natural land offer plenty of space for outdoor activity without ever having to leave the protective environment.
• Healing distance: The physical presence of the surrounding mountains creates a clear boundary that noticeably increases the mental distance from everyday life.

The true geographic highlight, however, lies in the combination of this perceived seclusion and actual proximity. The Tannerhof is located precisely in the heart of the southern German-Austrian region. The property is just about 34 kilometers of well-maintained country road from the Weyarn and Irschenberg exits on the A8, making for an uncomplicated journey. This makes the Tannerhof what its claim promises: "My hideaway in the mountains" for guests from both countries—close enough for a spontaneous departure and far enough away for a real break.
