Excursion tip: from Munich to Lake Starnberg with a view of the mountains

Excursion tip: If you visit Munich, you only need half an hour by S-Bahn for a day at the lake

 

A few hours at Lake Starnberg with a mountain view - photo impressions!

 

Starnberg Lake: Anyone who lives here is on holiday! (German, Italiano)


Starnberg Lake - a train of thought. Incredible. Where otherwise only a quiet rustling sound can be heard, the waves are rushing on the beach in Ambach. A pleasant wind caresses your skin and a shady spot under a tree protects you from direct sunlight. From time to time the seagulls squawk in lively conversation. - By the way, Ambach has the most beautiful campsite right on the lake!

From here you look directly towards the mountains


So I sit here and leave the metropolis behind me. The sun glitters on the moving lake. Just enough to understand what the storyteller meant when he wrote:

    It sparkles on the water as if a dwarf had sunk his silver treasure into the lake 
and it was shining from below.

Sailing boats pass opposite, not far from the bank, past the Buchheim Museum

 
A surfer does his laps in front of the backdrop of the Alps, which are still covered in snow here and there. Every now and then he lifts himself off the water with his board and floats a few meters.

Children play on the shore and brave souls go into the water at any time of the year


A cool breath pleasantly caresses my face. You can almost smell the clean air. It's hard to believe that your vacation begins just a few kilometers from Munich.

After a morning at the PC, your eyes will recover quickly. For me it is one of the most beautiful places I know. The wide view of the Alpine chain, in front of it the glittering blue of Lake Starnberg with the Seeshaupter backdrop, the eternal rushing of the water and your head is clear. The morning saved on hard drive and far away.

 A small motorboat comes alongside from the direction of Starnberg - fresh fish straight from the lake is available in Ammerland 

The fisherman casts his net in the middle of the lake. - The guest garden of master fisherman Seebald from Ambach invites us to fresh fish later. - It takes a while, but then he accelerates again towards Starnberg. The small boat cuts through the water. The surfer quickly hangs into his slipstream and seems to fly over the water for a few minutes.

A man with a really large dog, a mix between a St. Bernard and a Leonberger, approaches and heads towards the water. The animal greedily slurps the cool water. I put my writing material aside, close my eyes and listen.

Yes, anyone who lives here is on vacation!
