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

Key points at a glance

• The Naturhotel Tannerhof sits roughly 1.5 hours by car from both Munich (75 km) and Salzburg (102 km).
• For guests from Austria, the Leitzachtal is often closer and quicker to reach than many health resorts inside Austria itself.
• The train runs hourly from Munich and reaches Bayrischzell in just 1 hour 20 minutes, a relaxed, entirely car-free option.
• The hotel's own Tannerhof taxi covers the final 1.2 kilometres from Bayrischzell station.
• The 16-hectare grounds offer sheltered seclusion at the head of the valley, right in the German-Austrian border region.

Arriving by car: equally close from Munich and Salzburg

Guests looking for a healthier way of living find a sheltered refuge at the Naturhotel Tannerhof, and its location is more central than you might expect. For a restorative Body Detox Heilfasten, the house is easy to reach not only from Bavaria but also for guests travelling from Austria. Its position in the quiet Leitzachtal pushes the catchment area well beyond the Bavarian capital. Salzburg, Mozart's city, lies almost as close to our door as Munich does. Both cities are around one and a half hours away by car. For many people looking to recover, that makes the Tannerhof quicker and simpler to reach than the well-known spa towns in their own country.

The drive is smooth and straightforward from either direction. Coming from the north or west via Munich, you leave the A8 motorway at the Weyarn exit and follow the road through Miesbach, past the Schliersee, straight into the alpine setting of Bayrischzell. Approaching from the east or from Austria, you take the route through the Inntal from Salzburg. After the border, the way leads on from Kufstein over the scenic Ursprungspass up into our high valley. Both routes open a wide view of the peaks on the way in and ease you gently into the break ahead.

Near the end of the drive, our hideaway in the mountains announces itself quietly. The signs lead you straight onto the Tannerhof's spacious grounds, where your car can stay put so you can give your own recovery some room. After the easy drive along the motorway and through the alpine valleys, the real arrival begins in the deliberate seclusion of the house.

Arriving by air: the international airports of Munich and Salzburg

For guests travelling further, from northern Germany, western Austria or abroad, the location in the German-Austrian region works as a double advantage. The Naturhotel Tannerhof connects well to two international airports, which keeps planning your trip for the Body Detox Heilfasten flexible. Both Munich and Salzburg airports sit only about one and a half hours by car from Bayrischzell. That balance underlines how well our refuge in the heart of the Alps serves travellers from both countries.

From Munich Airport there is also a comfortable, reliable rail link straight into our Bavarian mountains. The train to Bayrischzell takes just 2 hours and 11 minutes. After landing you change onto the S-Bahn and then the Bayerische Regiobahn, which brings you into the quiet Leitzachtal without detours. Guests landing at Salzburg Airport usually take a hire car for the remaining stretch, crossing the border through the Inntal into the sheltered valley.

Whichever airport you choose, the journey to us begins at the terminal as a deliberate act of setting off. The drive through the alpine foothills prepares you gently for the fasting ahead on our wide grounds. On request we are glad to arrange a taxi to collect you at Bayrischzell station and bring you up to the Tannerhof, so your fasting stay starts free of any rush.

Sustainable and car-free: the easy arrival by train

For many of our guests from Germany and Austria, letting go starts not at our reception but already on the train. Choosing a car-free journey is often the first step in leaving daily life behind and settling into a restorative experience like the Body Detox Heilfasten.

The Bayerische Regiobahn runs hourly and brings you from Munich to Bayrischzell in just one hour and twenty minutes, with no changes. From Salzburg and the wider Austrian region the rail link runs via Rosenheim without complication, so you can already use the travel time as a calm transition into the alpine quiet.

• Direct connection: hourly departures from Munich Hauptbahnhof on line RB 55.
• Scenic ride: the route runs past the Upper Bavarian lakes and straight into the Mangfall mountains.
• Personal welcome: our free Tannerhof taxi collects you at Bayrischzell station, just 1.2 kilometres away, and brings you safely to your destination.

As the taxi climbs the hill to the hotel, you feel the sheltering calm of our valley. The soft crunch of the gravel entrance and the warm welcome mark the start of your break in our hideaway in the mountains.

The geographic twist: sheltered seclusion in the heart of the region

Anyone looking for the Naturhotel Tannerhof finds it at the end of the valley. That end is not a loss but a gain in shelter and focus. The Leitzachtal is not remote in the sense of being hard to reach; it is secluded in the sense of a protective retreat. Here, on our 16-hectare, gently sloping grounds, an atmosphere unfolds that sets the ideal frame for deep regeneration.

For health breaks like the Body Detox Heilfasten, this sheltered geography is invaluable. As your gaze travels across the meadows up to the Wendelstein, the mind can settle far from the noise of daily life. This topographic sense of shelter supports quiet reflection and physical letting go in an entirely natural way.

• Sheltered valley setting: the basin shields against harsh winds and visual noise, which makes it noticeably easier for the nervous system to relax.
• Room to move: the 16 hectares of hotel grounds leave plenty of space for movement outdoors without ever leaving the sheltered space.
• Restorative distance: the surrounding mountains form a clear boundary that widens the mental gap from everyday life.

The real twist lies in the pairing of that felt seclusion with genuine proximity. The Tannerhof sits precisely in the heart of the German-Austrian region. Only about 34 kilometres of well-built country road separate the property from the Weyarn and Irschenberg exits on the A8, which keeps the approach simple. That makes the Tannerhof what its claim promises: "My hideaway in the mountains" for guests from both countries, close enough to set off on a whim and far enough for real distance.
