• S-Bahn to the shore, with stations in Starnberg, Possenhofen and Tutzing, so you can leave the car at home
• Excursion boats in spring and summer, plus boat rentals around the lake for heading out on your own
• A nearly 50 km bike path loops the lake away from the main roads, a full one-day ride

Lake Starnberg (Starnberger See) is Bavaria's second-largest lake, a glacial lake stretching 21 km and up to 128 m deep. Families swim and paddle from its shores, rent boats, or ride the excursion boats that run in spring and summer.

A bike path of almost 50 km circles the lake away from main roads. An electric ferry crosses to the Roseninsel, an island off Feldafing.
