"One of Germany’s best-kept secrets is the Chiemsee, a beautiful glacial lake in the hills of Bavaria near the Austrian border. Up in those hills and a few miles west of the Chiemsee is Stubn, an 11-room hotel with an exceptional restaurant. Located on a 4,500-acre estate, it resembles one of the simple hiking cabins for which the region is known, and the place is accessible only by foot (a two-mile trek to the front door from the main road). But it’s worth the effort to feel immersed in nature. While the surrounding countryside is serenity itself, the Alpine-inspired food is the major draw: it’s overseen by Maximilian Müller, the chef de cuisine of the Michelin two-starred Pavillon restaurant at Baur au Lac, in Zurich.
