Starnberger Lake

Starnberger Lake

Lake Starnberg is one of the most famous lakes in Germany and is one of the most elegant destinations in Upper Bavaria. Located just a few kilometers south of Munich, it combines scenic beauty with a touch of Bavarian nobility. For those on a convertible tour in Bavaria, the lake offers a perfect combination of relaxed country roads, stunning views, and charming places right by the water.

Driving to the Lake in a Convertible – Between Pre-Alps and Villas

The journey to Lake Starnberg is already an experience in itself. Those coming from Munich have the choice between several routes – from the direct connection via the B2 to smaller rural roads through Gauting or Seefeld. Particularly worthwhile is the drive along the eastern shore road from Starnberg to Seeshaupt. This route runs partially right along the shore and offers impressive views of the deep blue water and the alpine panorama in the background.

The western shore also provides a beautiful backdrop with towns like Tutzing or Feldafing. The roads lead through old villa districts, green avenues, and occasionally through clear forests – ideal for enjoying the driving wind and nature with the top down.

At the Lake – Experience, Relax, Enjoy

On the shores of Lake Starnberg, well-kept promenades and piers invite you to stroll. If you want to take a break, you can stop at one of the numerous cafés or beer gardens right by the water. The view of Schloss Possenhofen, once the summer residence of Empress Sisi, is particularly beautiful, or take a detour to the Rose Island, which is accessible by ferry.

Water sports, cycling, walks, or simply watching the peaceful gliding of sailboats – Lake Starnberg offers countless opportunities to enjoy the time. The combination of lake, mountains, and elegant flair makes this place so special.

Ideal for a Convertible Tour in Bavaria

Lake Starnberg is a wonderful pit stop or starting point for an extensive convertible tour in Bavaria. The mix of nature-close idyll, stylish atmosphere, and winding side roads provides the best conditions for an unforgettable drive. Whether alone, as a couple, or with friends – those driving here with the top down experience the Bavarian summer at its finest.
