One of the highlights of our trip to Munich! We took the train to Herrsching (very easy) and used AllTrails to follow the route up to the monastery. The path through the woods was beautiful and not too crowded. A little bit of incline but not too bad. At the top, we explored some of the buildings and then went to the beer garden area. The food and beer were delicious, and the atmosphere was wonderful with traditional live music. After we finished lunch we walked back down past the train station to the lake and had dessert. It’s a perfect day trip from Munich, and honestly we enjoyed the beer garden there more than Oktoberfest.

A must do when I am in Munich for more than 1 night. I've been visiting for more than 30 years. It's a wonderful day trip out to Herrsching on the S-Bahn and then the walk or bus to the monastery (or to Tutzing and then the bus). It's very pleasant indeed sitting out on the terrace with a view over the countryside, drinking my favourite Weissbier.

A lovely stop during our trip from Hohenschwangau to Munich. It was easy to park in the large carpark at the bottom of the hill and there were free bathrooms too. The abby is beautiful & peaceful. We paid 1 euro each to climb the tower and could see the view of the surrounding area from small windows. We had apple Strudel at the Cafe afterwards.
