You’ll feel just like a Müncher as you head off on a jaunt to Starnberg See (head’s up: see means lake) with one of our local Munich hosts. After a quick train ride (what’s 30 minutes between friends) you’ll spend half a day surrounded by natural beauty (we’re not just talking about you and your host) as you enjoy dips in the refreshing waters of this lake, cruising on a pedalo or relaxing with an ice-cold beer and indulging in some traditional food in a Bavarian beer garden.

If the weather’s not made for lake-side relaxing, explore the charming town of Starnberg or take a boat to Rose Island, the only island in the lake which also happens to be home to a museum. By the end of your short time out of the city, you’ll be feeling refreshed and ready to take the city on again - which is exactly why the locals come here.
