Good starting point for shorter or longer day trips to many beautiful spots. It is a paradise for mountain bikers. Munich is about 50 km (= about 32 miles) away and can be reached within one hour by train. Many lakes (Lake Tegernsee, Lake Starnberg, Lake Staffelsee, Lake Walchensee Lake Chiemsee and many more) provide excellent conditions for water sport and relaxing. Beautiful mountain creeks with crystal clear water and ponds. Well-known monasteries like Benediktbeuern or Ettal and the famous castles Linderhof and Neuschwanstein can be visited as well as several good museums, for example Franz-Marc-Museum in Kochel or Buchheim-Museum in Bernried and of course Germany´s highest mountain - the Zugspitze. The Austrian cities Innsbruck, Salzburg and Kufstein are also worth a visit and they aren´t far.
