Excursion and gastronomy tip: Fishing Sebald in Ammerland on Lake Starnberg

Leisure tip: Fresh fish in Ammerland - directly from Lake Starnberg

 

PURE IDYL at the gates of Munich: small forests, green meadows and in the distance the Alps and then Lake Starnberg with fresh fish in the snack garden

 

Ammerland - Hubert without Staller - Graf bakery - Graf Pocci - Sebald fishing (snack garden with boat rental) and the lake shore including bathing beaches with an Alpine backdrop



 Münsing - Ammerland on Lake Starnberg (today 24 degrees water temperature). We drive from the beautiful Bavarian capital Munich south, Solln, Pullach and then soon towards Wolfratshausen and Münsing to Lake Starnberg. Small forests, green meadows and the Alps and above all the wide, blue sky with bright sunshine. We roll through Icking, Dorfen towards Höhenrain and then on via Münsing towards Ammerland. The Munich locals' insider tip for fresh fish right on the lake... and then swim into the water and towards the Alpine scenery!

Ammerland and the bavarian TV-crime series “Hubert and Staller” and later “Hubert without Staller”


 

The town of Ammerland has become famous beyond the borders of the Bavarian Oberland, not least because of the crime series “Hubert and Staller” and “Hubert without Staller”.

The Graf bakery is renamed the Rattlinger bakery as the location for every film shoot for the crime series.

Here you can sit outside when the weather is nice and enjoy the best cake on the lake (editor's opinion): fresh and baked on site by master baker Hubert Graf and his nice master baker.

None other than Loriot has immortalized himself in writing here in the bakery. - By the way, Loriot also got the beautiful fountain monument in Münsing by the small park: a bathtub for Loriot. See the photos in our article: Loriot's 100th birthday - memory of Loriot. LORIOT - Vicco von Bülow - lived with his pugs in Ammerland on Lake Starnberg. On November 12, 2023, the grand master of middle-class humor Loriot would have been 100 years old - in German: Loriots 100. Geburtstag - Erinnerung an Loriot. LORIOT - Vicco von Bülow - lebte mit seinen Möpsen in Ammerland am Starnberger See. Am 12. November 2023, wäre der Großmeister des gutbürgerlichen Humors Loriot 100 Jahre alt geworden

A scenic route towards Lake Starnberg promises a day of vacation


The village of Münsing also includes the small, idyllic town of Ammerland, which is characterized by the traditional Graf bakery, the castle of the Counts Pocci, the garden of the Sebald court fishery on Lake Starnberg and, last but not least, by the loss of the beautiful steamer jetty at the "Hotel am See" - a few years ago years ago - is still known to many people.

 

Die SEESHAUPT legte unter anderem am Dampfersteg in Ammerland an - hier 2018 unser Archivfoto, Foto-Pressearchiv: Helga Waess / The SEESHAUPT docked at the steamer jetty in Ammerland, among other places - here is our archive photo from 2018, photo press archive: Helga Waess


The steamer pier will be sorely missed by locals and guests.

 

By the way, Count Pocci was the father of Kasperl Larifari! 

(Author of the world-famous Punch and Judy show)


And his summer palace was here in Ammerland. For 30 years, Ammerland on Lake Starnberg was Franz Graf von Pocci's home. A visit to Ammerland on Lake Starnberg allows you to experience the idyll in which Franz Graf von Pocci grew up.

Francis of Pocci


The little and later big Franz spent 30 years of his life here. What might it have been like a good 200 years ago for the child Franz von Pocci when piano, lessons and drawing lessons regulated the day at Lake Starnberg?

 There was certainly time for the lake and the forests. So it is not surprising that childhood and children play a major role in his later writing and drawing work.

About Count Pocci - here is our article: Pocci is far, far more than a street name and a subway station in Munich - The exhibition “Franz von Pocci and Humor” shows the royal court official as a caricaturist and puppet count - in GERMAN: Pocci ist weit, weit mehr als ein Straßenname und eine U-Bahn-Station in München - Die Ausstellung „Franz von Pocci und der Humor“ zeigt den königlichen Hofbeamten als Karikaturist und Kasperlgraf

 The Sebald fishing master family has been based in Ammerland for generations - with boat rentals


In the farm shop you can buy everything you need for a good fish meal. All fish specialties are available either to take away or on plates for direct consumption in the picturesque snack garden.  The lovingly designed garden invites you to linger and after the fish meal there are delicious, fresh cakes and coffee.
