Excursion tips

Museum trains on the Ammersee Steam Railway

All aboard! In summer, nostalgic museum trains run again on the "Ammersee Steam Railway" between the Augsburg Railway Park and Utting on Lake Ammersee.

In Utting, the steam trains are only a few metres away from the shore of Lake Ammersee. The landscape around the lake invites you to swim, sail, hike, visit the beer gardens or embark on a boat trip with one of the popular paddle steamers.

Pilgrimage Church St. Jakob

After stopping off in Schondorf, a visit to the Romanesque pilgrimage Church of St. Jakob from the 12th Century is worthwhile. The cosy “Seepost” beer garden is just next door. Those still in need of movement can wander another 30 minutes towards Stegen and cool off on the bathing shore of Eching. A further 30 minute walk takes you onto Stegen. From there, take the boat back to the departure point.

Recreation oasis on the north bank of Lake Ammersee - Stegen

Take the S-Bahn from Munich to the lake at Herrsching, board the boat and head onto the recreation oasis at Stegen on the north bank of Lake Ammersee. In Stegen, a family-friendly bathing area invites you to swim and relax. At the nearby mini-golf course, future "golf talents" are discovered and the beautiful beer gardens directly on the shore round off this diverse excursion.

Hike up to the Andechs Monastery

For those wishing to move their legs a little after a leisurely boat ride, take the road up to Andechs from the steamer pier at Herrsching. From here, you pass Kienbach over the Kien Valley and through Herrsching town centre towards Andechs.

A visit to the Andechs Monastery on the "Holy Mountain" is particularly worthwhile, because the monastery’s tavern is a tasty magnet thanks to its kitchen and its beer from the monastery brewery.
