Day Trip: Lake Starnberg

Hans-Albers-Weg 6, 82340 Feldafing, Germany

A favorite local escape, Lake Starnberg is just a 45-minute drive away from the city (during summer weekends, the traffic is as bad as that to the Hamptons, so avoid leaving on a Friday afternoon). For a local taste, head to Midgardhaus Zum Häring (www.haering-wirtschaft.de), in the village of Tutzing, which is a wonderful lakeside restaurant and beer garden.
