The Starnberger See is the Bavarian capital Munich's nearest lake. In the 17th and 18th centuries it was already very popular with the Munich court. The 57-square-kilometre lake is around 20 kilometres long, five kilometres wide and up to 127 metres deep. It is bordered by moraine hills. Walkers can explore the beauty of the landscape and the various sights on the path that follows long stretches of the shore. Among the best-known towns and villages on the lake are Starnberg, Seeshaupt, Bernried, Tutzing and Feldafing with
Rose Island and the park designed by Peter Joseph Lenné.
Tutzing is the location of the Protestant Academy, which today has an international reputation as a meeting place of academics and politicians. The Academy for Political Education run by Bavaria is also in Tutzing.
The lake has three large leisure areas: in Kempfenhausen, Ambach and Possenhofen.
