Lake Starnberg is one of the most popular places to visit for Munich’s natives, who frequent the lake for a swim or a boat ride, or grab a bite to eat at the local fish restaurant. They enjoy the beautiful landscape and explore Starnberg’s history on foot and, of course, as we will on a bicycle, surrounded by a perfect fore-Alp scenery.
Lake Starnberg is well-known for two things: its centuries-old fishing tradition and the many celebrities who mix and mingle at the lake. On this tour you will learn about the history, royal stories, fishing of today as well as which celebrities have visitied Lake Starnberg.
OPTIONAL: If someone wants to swim in the lake, please don't forget to bring your swim equipment, as well a towel ;)

What To Expect
The tour starts and ends in Starnberg (Starnberg train station) at the north part of the lake and we will head towards Berg. In Berg, a votive chapel and a wooden cross are the memorials of the death of King Ludwig II, which was surrounded by a scandal. In addition, the famous German writer Oskar Maria Graf lived in the town.
In Tutzing’s lake-side, all participants will get a delicious Bavarian lunch. Either in a local beer garden or restaurant (depending on the weather) with some tasty Bavarian beer, traditional lunch or a grilled fish on a stick (Steckerlfisch).
Strengthened from a sufficient local lunch, we can now look forward to get back to our starting point where the tour will end.
In the unlikely event someone can't finish the trip of about 31 miles (50km), we can take a boat, train or taxi back to our starting location. No worries - we will find a solution for everything. It's your vacation - your time!
