Bike Tour: between Munich to Lake Starnberg

Eva and Heza The city is beautiful but the country-side in the spring is just breathtaking. I can’t believe that we can take our bikes out of the dark, damp basement and then ride off into this in just minutes. We didn’t make the entire loop, which we made up on the way, since we had never ventured farther than Kloster Schäftlarn. But we made to Biergartens, one at Lake Starnberg, (btw the Strandhouse Starnberg serves very good thin crust pizza) and one at Schäftlarn.

After the journey I looked it up on Google Maps and was amazed at the distance we covered and just the view I was in the middle of. I wanted to reconstruct the way but I lost the path twice so the effort seemed pointless. We made this trip in the middle of May 2008.

Pentecost Weekend Highlights

Breakfast on our balcony. Alex makes a heart in his tea.

Grilling for two on the Isar river. Things we (I) forgot: fire and plates. Time to cook: 35 minutes. We watched a group of three try get their fire going for over an hour. I’m now a believer of Metzger steak, esp. with Bärlauch marinade. After dinner, I heated stones over the hot coals. I handed one to a cute older couple.

Eva and Me – City Mädchen. Behind us is Rapeseed (used to make canola oil). We rode to Lake Starnberg and then over to Schäflarn. More highlights on my travel blog to come.

One of the wonders we discovered on our bike trip of the terrain between Munich and Lake Starnberg. We also saw a frog crossing sign but missed the photo op.
