Tutzing between the lake, trails and culture
Accommodation in Tutzing
On Lake Starnberg, Tutzing brings together nature, routes through the town and a diverse cultural life. The palace park of Tutzing Palace, with its extensive grounds and centuries-old trees, lies on the lakeshore. The area also has a hiking trail network with a total of 230 kilometres of routes, opportunities for sailing and windsurfing, and boat trips. If you choose a holiday apartment in Tutzing, deciding what you want to focus on can help: would you like your stay to be shaped mainly by outdoor activity, time on the water or culture?
Scenery by the lake and in the surrounding area
With its extensive grounds and centuries-old trees, the palace park of Tutzing Palace is a unique natural monument on the shore of Lake Starnberg. South of Tutzing lies the Ilkahöhe, a hill rising to 728 m. From there, the view extends across Lake Starnberg and the foothills of the Alps to the Chiemgau Alps and the Zugspitze. The landscape therefore encompasses both the lakeshore in Tutzing and the panorama from the nearby hill.
Hiking trails of varying lengths
Tutzing is the starting point for a hiking trail network with a total of 230 kilometres of routes. There are also marked local hiking trails, ranging from 5 to 15 km in length, that pass through the town. The total distance describes the extent of the trail network; the lengths of the local trails can help you choose a particular distance for your hiking day. If you enjoy exploring on foot, you can discover Tutzing both as a starting point for the trail network and via the marked routes through the town.
Boat trips and activities on the water
From the Tutzing pier, boat trips on Lake Starnberg are available to the north or south. The extended pier also allows you to change boats there. For those interested in sailing, Segelschule Müller offers courses, after which you can take exams for a sailing licence or a motorboat licence.
The Nordbad offers windsurfing courses for beginners and advanced windsurfers of all ages. The surf and sailing centre at Nordbad also offers catamaran courses for all skill levels. You can rent sailboats there; a windsurfing equipment rental service is available for those without their own gear. Nordbad also has a sunbathing lawn for swimming and sunbathing. The bathing area at Südbad is separate: the German Red Cross (DRK) supervises it to ensure safe swimming. Depending on whether you are looking for a course, a rental option or time at a bathing area, different water activities can take centre stage.
Music and other cultural offerings
The Tutzinger Brahmstage classical music festival has taken place every October since 1997, with five concerts. The Evangelische Akademie Tutzing offers other cultural events, including conferences, panel discussions, concerts, readings and lectures. According to the academy, its events are open to everyone. The Kulturtheater Tutzing regularly hosts theatre performances, concerts, readings, film screenings and other cultural events.
The former passenger boat Tutzing is also connected with culture. The Museumsschiff-Verein Tutzing e.V. restores and maintains it as a technical monument. During the summer months, the association offers a cultural programme on board, with concerts and cabaret evenings. The events take place at different times of year: the Brahmstage are an annual fixture in October, while the cultural programme on the boat runs during the summer months.
If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Tutzing, you can use your preferred focus for your trip as a guide: hiking, water sports, boat trips or culture all offer different ideas for planning your days.
