Bad Wiessee is a spa town in Bavaria, Germany. Located close to the border with Austria, Bad Wiessee is in the district of Miesbach, in the administrative region of Upper Bavaria. It covers 32.79 sq km (12.66 sq mi) and has a population of 4,600 people (2012 estimate).

The position of Bad Wiessee as a spa town stems from the discovery of the sulphur fountain by Dutch oil explorer Adriaan Stoop in the early 20th century. The name Bad Wiessee translates roughly as "spa on the western shore of the lake". The lake in question is Tegernsee.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
