Back to the classics: pedal boating! In a world full of high-tech and turbo jets, pedal boating reminds us how nice it can be to cruise leisurely on the water. The only rush? Maybe to grab some chips or ice cream at the kiosk before it closes. So sit back, put on your sun hat and get pedaling. We'll tell you here where you can do this in and around Munich.

Deceleration ahoy⛵

Be a swan for once, please! 🦢 This is possible in the Olympic Lake. In the middle of the Olympic Park, you can not only go pedal boating and rowing between quacking ducks and quacking geese, but also sail in exclusive swan pedal boats and experience the Olympic Park from a different perspective. Not a swan fan? No problem: you can also hire SUPs, kayaks and rowing boats. 💸 14€ for 1/2 hour | 21€ for 1 hour.

Pedaling in the middle of the English Garden: it's possible at Kleinhesseloher See, right next to the Seehaus in the southern part of the English Garden. You can drift along at a leisurely pace or pedal around the small island. One tiny disadvantage: unfortunately, you are not allowed to splash around or swim in Kleinhesseloher See. But don't worry: if you want to combine a boat trip with sport, you can go jogging in the English Garden with friends before or after, do yoga or just relax in the beer garden. 💸 The price for 2 people is €11 for half an hour.

Seestraße 97

To escape the urban heat of Munich, we recommend a trip to Wörthsee, the little sister of Ammersee, around 25 km away. Here you can not only go pedal boating, but also enjoy the sun at the lido. ⛱️ Refreshing drinks, ice cream and the good old outdoor candy cone await you at the kiosk. You will also find a small but fine selection of restaurants and cafés around the lake. 💸 During the week, half an hour costs €14 and €16 for a boat with a slide. At the weekend €2 more in each case.

Schropp boat hire is an authentic family business from Starnberg. For 120 years, the Schropps have made it possible for everyone to explore the beautiful Lake Starnberg. In addition to the pedal boats "Flamingo", "Hexi" and "Lurchi", you can also hire handmade wooden boats from their own workshop. 😍 💸: An hour of pedal boating for up to 5 people costs just €15 here.

After pedal boating is - of course - before beer gardening! 🍻 You can find out where we like to clink glasses in summer here!
