Fraueninsel, Germany

Fraueninsel is the second largest island on Lake Chiemsee, an almost 80-square-kilometre freshwater lake in Bavaria, Germany. The car-free island of Fraueninsel – Women’s Island in English – was named after the convent of Benedictine nuns it houses. Frauenchiemsee monastery, also called Frauenwörth, was founded in 782 by Tassilo III, Duke of Bavaria. And while it has a long and storied past, perhaps most surprising of all is what it is known for today – Kloster Liquor, a spirit made with fresh herbs from the monastery garden.
