Family-friendly hike in Upper Bavaria between Starnberg and Pöcking.
Not far from the popular Lake Starnberg is this quiet excursion destination, which is particularly suitable for anyone who wants to escape the hustle and bustle of the lake. The gorge trail leads from the Pöcking district of Maising along the idyllic stream to Starnberg and back the same way. A little detour to the picturesque St Mary's Chapel just before Starnberg can be planned .
The village of Maising has stops for food. To round off the day, a beer garden by the lake is gonna be a good idea.
