Geographically, Murnau am Staffelsee is located between the Bavarian Alps and Lake Starnberg. The town is surrounded by beautiful forests, green hills and crystal-clear water of the lake of the same name.

Touristically relevant sights are the Murnau Castle Museum with its impressive collection of modern works of art and the Münter House, which was once the residence of the famous artist Gabriele Münter. The 18th century parish church of St. Nikolaus is also worth a visit.

Cultural highlights can be experienced in the form of music and theatre events as well as traditional festivals such as the Leonhardiritt or the Heimatfest.

Culinary delights can be found in the many restaurants around the market square, where regional specialities such as pork knuckle or liver dumplings are served.

The summer is particularly suitable for outdoor activities: hike through the mountains on one of the numerous hiking trails or take the opportunity to swim in the picturesque Staffelsee lake. In winter, you can go cross-country skiing or skiing - nearby Garmisch-Partenkirchen offers ideal conditions for this.

If it rains, we recommend a visit to the Glentleiten open-air museum or exploring the many shops and cafés in town.

The most beautiful thing about Murnau am Staffelsee is when the sun is shining and you can let your eyes wander over the lake. A walk along the shore with an ice cream in your hand is an unforgettable experience.

Overall, Murnau am Staffelsee is definitely worth a trip. With this Travel Guide, you now have all the important information for your stay on site. We hope you enjoy discovering this enchanting town!
