A gorgeous lake in Bavaria. You can catch a train from Munich to this town and, the walk around the…read morelake is gorgeous, as is the walk from here to Tegernsee. We walked from here to the half way point to Tegernsee and, as we had already done the other half before, we know what the whole walk is like. A spectacular walk with wonderful places to stop along the way for a meal or a drink, up in the mountains. The whole walk takes about 4-6 hours depending on your fitness levels and you climb about 600-800m during the walk. Expect about 2 hours of uphill at a minimum, some easy grade and some pretty steep. The town of Schliersee has some interesting architecture and loads of cafes and restaurants. The scenery is beautiful and on a sunny day you can spend a day on the lake boating or, just hanging out at one of the many waterfront places. This was my first time here and I will definitely come back again. Less touristy than Tegernsee and quite a lot of walks in the area.

A gorgeous small lake about an hour from Munich. It's a relatively popular ski area during the…read morewinter and of course a walking and wandering area during the rest of the year. It was my first time here and I loved it. It takes about an hour to walk around the lake "rundweg" and there are loads of trails that come off the lake area going up into the mountains. The lake is located about 1100m about sea level so it's a little cooler up there. Best to go prepared. There are ski lifts you can take from the lakefront to a couple of the peaks and walk around or just walk up the mountain. There are a few places up the hills to stop and get lunch etc. Will definitely be back here again. We have explored much of the area nearby and this is just another addition to our repertoire.

Gorgeous, relaxing, alpine town -- definitely worth visiting as a either day trip from Munch, or to…read morerelax for a few days in a beautiful setting where you can meet tons of friendly German tourists on holiday. Cold, clear waters. Shops and restaurants. Hiking, boating, etc. Excellent for activities, for nature, and for people-watching. There is something special and fun about holiday/tourist towns that mostly have domestic tourists. If Tegernsee had a U.S. counterpart, it would be Lake Tahoe: Sure, folks come from all over the country and world to Lake Tahoe, but the majority come from all over California and Nevada. This is a town where people have second homes and spend the whole summer there -- that sort of thing. As an international visitor, I loved seeing Germans from all over the country on vacation and hanging out.

One of my favourite places to visit in Bavaria and less than an hours drive from Munich and…read moreprobably about the same by train. Beautiful lake surrounded by the Bavarian Alps and stunning scenery. A great place to visit in the Winter or Summer. Nice shops, bier garden the palace and church make it a great day out.

Starnberger See is absolutely beautiful! It's the first place I've seen swans in real life (other…read morethan at Disney Land - sad, I know). I visited in August so it was still quite hot out and there were a lot of people here. My friend and I couldn't find parking so we had to park on the street outside. The experience will differ depending on what side you're on I suppose but there was a lot of little benches around the grassy area and you can sit on the ledge by the water or on the dock. I somehow stepped on a bee so I stood on the dock stairs with my feet in the water for a while. It was really refreshing. There's also a restaurant with a LOT of beach chairs and even tables on their own little dock. It's nice and relaxing. Perfect for hanging out with your friends, family, or going on a date. Definitely recommend coming here if you're in the greater Munich area.

I decided to go to Starnberger See and I am so happy that I did, it is such a beautiful lake. I…read morewent in June and the weather was gorgeous, I got the train from Ostbahnhof as far as the lake and it didn't take too long. I went for a walk, took it easy and I also grabbed something to eat at a restaurant located near the lake. The day was super chill, there weren't that many people around and I'm looking forward to going back again
