Shuttle services will take you from Terminal 2 directly to your hotel – reliably and conveniently. At the end of your vacation, you will be pleased to find that Munich Airport offers two special check-in counters in Terminal 2 for bulky luggage, such as skies or snowboards, which will facilitate your travels tremendously. Golfing around Lake Starnberg When vacationing in the Lake Starnberg area, you will find 12 golf courses within a vicinity of 25 km. Whether guests are looking to stay at a simple pension or a luxury hotel, service is always a huge priority as well as booking requested tee times. Some of the challenging golf courses are placed in the rolling moraine landscape of the Alpine foothills. Gut Rieden offers a flat area for the first nine holes, but then it gets hillier with well-placed bunkers and water hazards which require strategy. In order to remain focused, enjoy the splendid panorama over the Lake Starnberg in the clubhouse afterwards. In Tutzing, the course offers short distances from hole to hole and fantastic views of Wetterstein- and Karwendelmassif and their idyllic lakes and streams. The 18-hole championship course of Iffeldorf spans a total of 104 acres next to the Zugspitze. Here you can find wonderful nature with forests, ancient oak trees, small lakes and biotopes. Last but not least, the Golf Club Hohenpähl blends harmoniously on the hill between Lake Starnberg and Ammersee. This Golf Club is known for its sustainable handling with the scenic landscape and has won several environmental awards. Where golfers play today, Charlemagne spent his childhood – the corridors are part of the erstwhile High Castle Pähl.
