The Ammersee region begins only about 30 km southwest of Munich in the middle of the most beautiful Bavarian foothills of the Alps. The Ammersee is the third largest of the Bavarian lakes and yet is still relatively little known. Especially in the summer months, the numerous excursion destinations and sights attract many holiday guests to spend their holidays in the beautiful accommodation, hotels, rooms as well as holiday apartments and holiday homes. The lake circuit around Ammersee, which is almost 40 km from Munich, is around 42 km long and is suitable for cycling tours and walks.

Pilsensee and Ammersee once formed a unit many years ago. The Kienbach brought with it so many debris deposits that this part separated from the Ammersee. The Pilsensee is approx. 2.5 km long and up to a kilometer wide. There is one of the largest campsites on the bank side of the municipality of Seefeld. Here you will also find a very beautiful beach with shady trees. A good balance, as many areas of the bank are in private hands and not open to the public.
