Just a few kilometres south of the city begins a landscape that has long shaped life in Munich. Lake Starnberg was a retreat for the Bavarian royal family, a destination for Munich's traditional summer escapes and a setting for social life. To this day, people regularly leave the city behind for its shores.
But there is more to the lake than its landscape. Bavarian history, leisure culture, cuisine and proximity to the Alps come together here in a way that reveals much about the character and way of life of the region.
We bring these connections to life personally — with time by the lake, stories of the people and events that have shaped it, and a shared dinner by the lake to conclude the day.
