Arrival in Starnberg and Initial Hike from the Votive Chapel to Starnberg<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The journey on the King Ludwig Way begins in Starnberg, at the gateway to Bavaria's Five Lakes Region. Immediately upon arrival, you can feel the special atmosphere of Lake Starnberg, whose calm surface has inspired artists, nobility, and those seeking relaxation for centuries.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Arrival in Starnberg<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Arrival by Train<\/strong>
Your destination station is Starnberg Bahnhofsplatz 5. Please do not get off at Starnberg Nord station. Your accommodation is located directly opposite the main station and is therefore within easy walking distance.<\/p>

Arrival by Car<\/strong>
Various parking options are available in Starnberg. There is a P+R car park<\/a>directly at the station, but it is often busy. Alternatively, a multi-storey car park is located at Hauptstra\u00dfe 8a<\/a>, just a few minutes' walk from the hotel. The underground car park at the Sparkasse<\/a> next door is very expensive and is therefore not recommended. If you park at the P+R car park at the North station, you can cover the short return journey on foot or by train.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

After checking into the hotel, there is usually plenty of time for a first short hike, and it is a perfect introduction to what awaits you in the coming days. The Starnberg jetty<\/a>is located directly opposite the hotel. The boats run several times a day and take you across the calm lake to the Leoni landing stage, the starting point of the first stage. The last departure usually takes place at 5.15 p.m.<\/p>

From the Votive Chapel<\/a> , you follow the first metres of the King Ludwig Way. The chapel, which was erected in memory of King Ludwig II., stands at the very spot where the monarch lost his life in 1886. Your hike starts here with a quiet, yet significant, historical moment.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

On the King Ludwig Way back to Starnberg<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The path runs along gentle forest trails and light ridges on the west bank of the lake. Again and again, views of the deep blue water open up between the treetops, and of the mountains to the south, which rise like a backdrop behind the lake on a clear day. This introductory hike is deliberately kept calm. No major climbs, no technical difficulty, just pure arrival and letting go.<\/p>

As you approach Starnberg, lakeside paths alternate with small parks and quiet residential streets. On the lakeshore, there are numerous opportunities for a break with a view of the anchored sailing boats, the long waves hitting the jetty, or in one of the restaurants directly on the water.<\/p>

After around seven kilometres, you reach Starnberg and your hotel again. If you would like to extend the evening, you can enjoy the sunset along the lakeside promenade or stop off at one of the lakeside bars\/restaurants. With the calmness of the water and the anticipation of the coming hiking week, the first day ends in a particularly atmospheric way.<\/p>
