Cycling day trip from Munich to Starnberg

This is a fantastic ride from vibrant Munich all the way to the lakeside town of Starnberg—perfect for a half-day excursion on two wheels! You’ll roll out from the heart of Munich, known for its lively beer gardens, beautiful architecture, and that unmistakable Bavarian vibe. The route covers about 31 km, mostly on smooth pavement and dedicated paths, which means it’s pretty friendly for most cyclists.

After leaving the city bustle, you’ll find yourself cruising along a mix of quiet roads and lovely bike paths, with just enough gentle climbing (about 263 meters) to keep things interesting. The scenery quickly transitions from urban charm to leafy suburbs and then on to tranquil countryside, with occasional peeks of the Alps on a clear day.

Your journey ends at Starnberg, a laid-back lakeside town famous for Lake Starnberg—one of the most beautiful spots near Munich, perfect for a refreshing dip or a lakeside coffee. All in all, it’s a scenic, mostly easy ride linking city excitement with lakeside relaxation!
