leisure activities

The Ammersee offers you many sport and recreation options.

One very nice option for exploring the Ammersee is a bicycle tour around the lake. The ca. 46 km long route often stretches directly along the lake’s shoreline, mostly via bike paths, forest paths and low-traffic roads.

There are four nature preserve areas near the lake, for instance the Vogelfreistätte Ammersee-Südufer (Ammersee south shore bird sanctuary). For this reason, not all shore areas are accessible for walking and swimming. You’ll find areas for swimming, sunbathing and public bathing on the east and west shores.

Kloster Andechs – Andechs Abbey

For those who enjoy hiking we recommend the beautiful, relaxed 40-minutes hike through the forest to the Andechs Abbey.

You can visit the monastery and thereafter strengthen yourself with a fresh beer brewed at the monastery for the way back to Herrsching.
