Ammersee

Herrsching, Germany

About this spot

Ammersee is one of Bavaria's most beautiful lakes, located 40 km southwest of Munich with the Alps as a dramatic backdrop. The lake is large enough to generate decent chop in stronger winds and benefits from thermal effects on sunny summer days. Several wingfoil and windsurf schools operate from the eastern shore.

Local tips

The Föhn (warm southerly Alpine wind) can generate very strong gusts without much warning — check forecasts carefully and be prepared to depower quickly. The lake is popular with sailors and motorboats; maintain good awareness. Train connection S5 from Munich to Herrsching.
