Your new hiking shoes are waiting for their first use? You want to get out and spend a whole day in nature — immediately and without having to travel too far? Then we've got the perfect Collection for you: not only Isar, Ammersee and Starnberger See are perfect hiking destinations in the vicinity of Munich. Many other small forest lakes, streams and rivers lure you out onto the hiking trails.

We have put together seven hiking tours for you that will take you to the most beautiful standing and flowing waters in the Munich environs. Those interested in culture can stroll above Lake Ammersee to Andechs Monastery with its famous brewery. Nature lovers can explore the magnificent landscape of the Ostersee lakes or the wildly romantic Maisinger Gorge. And if you're in a hurry, take the S-Bahn to the outskirts of Munich and stroll from inn to inn through the picturesque Isar Valley.

The best thing about our tours: almost all tours can be easily reached by S-Bahn and regional train directly from Munich – it's not for nothing that Bavaria calls itself Train Land. So nothing stands in the way of your nature excursions.

On her way, she has created picturesque valley landscapes in many places, which are perfect as a backdrop for small and large hikes. Especially beautiful is the Isartal around the monastery Schäftlarn in

    This tour takes you along a particularly natural section of the Isar - but right on the outskirts of Munich and therefore easily accessible. In addition to wonderful views of the Isar, cozy rest stops and the museum at Grünwald Castle await you on the hike.

    With its clear blue water, the Ammersee attracts not only water sports enthusiasts - even hikers can explore forests, meadows and shore paths around Bavaria's third largest lake.

    The Osterseen are composed of more than 20 lakes, which have a total area of 225 hectares - more than enough space for a long day trip. The varied lake landscape is a remnant of the last ice age. As they retreated, the mighty Alpine glaciers left huge blocks of ice that needed decades to completely defrost

    West of Lake Starnberg, the Maisinger Bach has dug over many millennia a wildly romantic gorge in the dense forest. From Starnberg you can cross the gorge on well-developed hiking trails, visit the Maisinger lake and enjoy the magnificent view over Lake Starnberg right up to the Alps.

    Also north of Munich attract smaller and larger waters for a leisurely trip. Our suggestion: a walk along the Amper near Dachau. From the city center, our tour takes you along the wooded banks of the river and through peaceful nature. Comfortable rest stops complete the pleasure hike.
