On the lake shore, cozy inns with sunny terraces and shady gardens invite you to take a rest. Continue to the Wörthsee, where the first rays of spring sunshine are enough to warm up quickly.

ca. 65 km

Directly along the Wörthsee and Pilsensee, first to the Andechs monastery. Through the Pfaffenwinkel past original Bavarian places - the monks of the surrounding 12 monasteries gave them their current appearance. In addition to the Ammersee, the Staffelsee and the Riegsee in Murnau also offer bathing opportunities.
