Walk through the Englischer Garten From the Haus der Kunst,
walk north through the beautiful section of the park that was
landscaped 200 years ago. At Kleinhesseloher See, a footbridge takes you
over a highway into the newer section of the park and to your final
destination, the utterly charming Zum Aumeister beer garden.
Hiking along the Isar Departing from the Deutsches Museum,
walk south upriver along the right bank of the Isar. At the halfway
mark, it’s worthwhile taking a short detour to see the rose garden . This walk goes all the way to the meadows in Thalkirchen, where you can also stop to visit the Tierpark Hellabrunn, a zoo.
A Walk in Westpark Set
off at the eastern end of Westpark at the corner of Hansastr and
Baumgartnerstr. Walk west through the park grounds until you reach a
footbridge, which links the eastern and western sections. Special
features of the park include artful Asian garden landscapes and a
restaurant (with beer garden) next to a rose garden. Walk through Nymphenburg Park Before setting off from Schloss Nymphenburg,
take your bearings from one of the many park plans posted near the
entrance. An attractive route is a pavilion circuit – Pagodenburg, the
cascades, the Temple of Apollo, Badenburg, and Amalienburg – and back to
the palace. Round out your walk with a visit to the Museum Mensch und
Natur or the Botanical Gardens.
Nymphenburg Park
Hiking on the Ilkahöhe Starting
at the S-Bahn (S6) station in Tutzing, the trail to the Ilkahöhe is
clearly marked by white triangles and climbs up a total elevation of
some 150 m (500 ft), in part on narrow forest paths. The view from the
top of the hill is magnificent. On clear days, you can see the entire
chain of the Bavarian Alps. Cycling Tour to Freising From
the Aumeister beer garden in the Englischer Garten, follow the Isar
cycling path in the direction of Freising, about 40 km (25 miles) away.
At the bridge across the Isar in Freising, turn left toward
Weihenstephan. This former Benedictine monastery is the oldest brewery
in the world. Return to Munich by S-Bahn (S1), which departs from
Freising station, 2 km (1 mile) away. Cycling Tour to Schloss Schleißheim Some
200 m (650 ft) to the right of the S-Bahn train station in
Milbertshofen, turn north at the small park and follow the cycling path,
in part on an old streetcar track, in the direction of Oberschleißheim,
where you can take a brief cultural break by visiting the Flugwerft
Schleißheim and the Neues Schloß. Continue along the Schleißheim canal
to Garching-Hochbrück and return by U-Bahn (U6). Cycling Tour: Olympiapark to Schloss Blutenburg From Olympiapark,
cycle along Nymphenburg canal to the palace and then continue west
along the southern park wall (cycling is prohibited in the park) until
you reach an underpass. The rest of the cycling path to Schloss
Blutenburg, home to the International Youth Library, is clearly marked.
Cycling Tour: Along the Isar to Schäftlarn Monastery From the Deutsches Museum,
follow the Isar cycling path in a southerly direction. Take a break at
Grünwald to visit the fortress and continue on to Schäftlarn monastery. A
note of caution – there are several bumpy stretches through forests and
some hilly sections. Returning to Munich is easy – take the S-Bahn (S7)
from Hohenschäftlarn station, 3 km (2 miles) away. Cycling Tour: Along the Würm to Lake Starnberg Departing
from Pasing S-Bahn station, the route begins with a short stretch along
busy roads to the clearly marked Würm river cycling path. Follow the
river south past Gauting to Leutstetten, where you can take a break in
the beautiful castle restaurant with beer garden. The tour continues up a
short incline past Mühltal station, past a golf course, and on to
Starnberg. Again, there is an easy route home by S-Bahn (S6) from
Starnberg station.
