Accessible Trip to Lake Starnberger

Would you like to embark on a barrier-free journey around the picturesque Starnberg Lake? Join us on an unforgettable excursion that will take you through the sparkling waters, charming lakeside villages, and fascinating landmarks of this idyllic region.

Starnberg Lake is Bavaria’s second-largest lake and a favorite destination for both Munich locals and visitors alike! Just under 20 kilometers southwest of the city lies the “bathtub of Munich.” The expansive view of the lake and the panoramic sight of the mountains are simply fantastic!

Your adventure begins at your doorstep, where we’ll pick you up promptly at the agreed-upon time. We’ll head to the Starnberg Lake’s pier, where the gentle waves of the water invite you to immerse yourself in a world full of beauty and history. Boarding the accessible ship, we’ll head to our first stop of the day: the enchanting Rose Island, a place of unparalleled natural beauty and historical significance. Here, you can wander through lush gardens steeped in royal flair and romantic atmosphere, transporting yourself to the world of Empress Sissi, who once used this place as a retreat.

After soaking in the magic of Rose Island, we’ll sail back to the shore. Our journey continues along the lakeside promenade towards Possenhofen, a charming village renowned for its idyllic lakeside location. Here, you can catch a glimpse of the former royal castle where Sissi spent part of her youth and admire the picturesque landscape that has inspired many artists.

Next, we’ll visit the Buchheim Museum in Bernried, a true treasure for art lovers and culture enthusiasts. Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of the expressionist artist Lothar-Günther Buchheim and discover his unique collection of paintings, sculptures, and graphics capturing the diversity and beauty of the human soul.

After this cultural enrichment, a culinary experience awaits you at Midgardhaus Augustiner am See in Tutzing, a traditional Bavarian inn known for its hearty dishes and cozy atmosphere. Indulge in delicious regional specialties and enjoy the hospitality of the locals while relaxing amidst the breathtaking landscape of Starnberg Lake.

Alternatively, for seafood enthusiasts, we recommend a visit to Restaurant zum Fischmeister in Ambach. Here, you can sample fresh fish specialties caught directly from the lake’s clear waters and prepared with traditional recipes. Let yourself be seduced by the flavors and tastes of Bavarian cuisine while enjoying the feeling of sitting by the shores of Starnberg Lake as the sun slowly sets behind the mountains, painting the sky in warm colors.

This tour around Starnberg Lake promises an unforgettable experience full of beauty, culture, and culinary delights that will enrich you with memories for a lifetime.

During your epic day trip, you’ll also have the opportunity to relax at a barrier-free bathing spot on Starnberg Lake and enjoy the refreshing water.
