Family vacation

There are a number of aspects to consider when taking a family vacation. The place should not be too big, so that it is easy to keep track. If it is too small, it can also quickly become boring. Once you have explored the possibilities available at your vacation home, there should still be something new to discover in the immediate vicinity. If the children accompanying you are already older, it is advantageous if you can also undertake more demanding day trips without any problems and the means of transport required for this are easily accessible.

The most important question that arises is the question of family-friendly accommodation. Hotels geared to this and, first and foremost, vacation apartments will be the means of choice. Since the family’s exclusive use of restaurants is not the rule and also puts a strain on the vacation budget, self-catering is usually the order of the day. Correspondingly good shopping facilities are expected nearby for this purpose.
All these above mentioned boundary conditions are fulfilled by the vacation resort Tutzing in an exemplary way. With a population of almost 10,000, located between the state capital Munich and the Bavarian Alps, it is the ideal base for everything from quiet family vacations to excursions to Munich and the mountains. Here you have the opportunity to find inner peace while sunbathing, swimming, hiking, cycling and water sports. A family excursion with the Bavarian Lake Navigation offers a rewarding perspective on Tutzing and the entire lake. Once you have exhausted the obvious possibilities, it is worth visiting the guest information office of the Tutzinger Förderverein für Tourismus e. V. in the center of town. Volunteer counselors here have more suggestions for family vacations. Whether it is the hikes to the Ilkahöhe, to the Deixlfurter See, to the Waldschmidtschlucht or information about the model railroad, the playgrounds, the Roseninsel or the Kaiserin Elisabeth Museum in Possenhofen, in the oldest building of Tutzing you will find the necessary information and, if available, the corresponding leaflets or maps. In addition, the information sheet “Ideas for Tutzing and the surrounding area” is available with many other suggestions, to which the staff of the guest information office will be happy to contribute further details.

Tutzing’s connection to the S-Bahn network of the city of Munich and the train station of the Deutsche Bahn opens up many other possibilities for day trips and activities.
The museums in the state capital alone offer a diverse program that also includes offerings tailored for children and young people. The Bavaria-Filmstadt and the zoo in Hellabrunn are other popular destinations. Deutsche Bahn also provides access to the Garmisch-Partenkirchen area and once in your life you should have stood on Germany’s highest mountain, the Zugspitze. If you have a car at your disposal, day trips to the museum village Glentleiten or to the summer toboggan run at the Blomberg or to the Bavarian royal castles are entertainment for the whole family.
