2025 Bad Tolz-Wolfratshausen Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in September)

Starnberger See is located southwest of Munich, approximately 25 kilometers from the city center. It takes about 30–40 minutes by train (S-Bahn Line S6) to reach, making it an ideal destination for a day trip. • It is Bavaria's second-largest lake (after Chiemsee), featuring crystal-clear waters and stunning surroundings. • Known as "Munich's backyard," the lake is a popular spot for locals to swim, boat, and picnic during summer. 🏞️ Attractions and Activities 1. Lakeside Walks and Cycling • The lake offers well-maintained walking and cycling paths with views of the distant Alps. 2. Water Activities • In summer, visitors can enjoy swimming, boating, sailing, stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), and sightseeing cruises around the lake. 3. Roseninsel (Rose Island) • The lake's only island, featuring a small palace and rose garden, is a romantic destination. 4. Possenhofen Castle • The childhood home of Austria's Empress Sisi. 5. Votivkapelle (Memorial Chapel) • Built in memory of King Ludwig II of Bavaria, who mysteriously drowned near the lake—a historical enigma to this day. 🍴 Food and Restaurants • The lakeside is home to many traditional Bavarian beer gardens and restaurants. Enjoying beer with lake views is highly recommended: • Wirtshaus am See (Lakeside Beer House) • Seehaus Riederau (Lakeside Restaurant) • Must-try dishes include freshly grilled fish (Steckerlfisch), white sausage (Weißwurst), and beer. 🚉 Transportation • From Munich Central Station (Hauptbahnhof), take the S6 line to reach Starnberg or Tutzing in about 30–40 minutes. • For a full lake exploration, you can get off at different towns and combine your trip with boat rides or cycling. ✨ Fun Facts • In the 19th century, Starnberger See was a vacation hotspot for European nobility and artists, earning the nickname "Munich's Noble Lake." • The lake's water is so clean it can be directly consumed, making it one of Germany's best-quality lakes. • On clear days, the reflection of the Alps on the lake's surface is breathtaking.

Starnberg See is a very beautiful lake to go to on a weekend for lunch, getting some ice cream or some drinks and catching up with family and friends.
