Location Details for Starnberg Race:

Lake Starnberg (German: Starnberger See), 25 kilometers southwest of Munich in southern Bavaria, is Germany’s fifth largest freshwater lake and, due to its large average depth, the second richest in water. The lake, which was created by ice age glaciers from the Alps, extends 21 km (13 mi) from north to south and has a width of 3-5 km (2-3.5 miles) from east to west. It has a single, small island, the Roseninsel, and a single outlet, the Würm river (because of this river the lake was called the Würmsee until 1962). The lake’s water is of excellent quality and the paddling there is very beautiful due to the mountain backdrop (when paddling south).Strandhotel Seehof Seestraße 33, 91738 Pfofeld, Germany

Address:

Surf and Segelcenter Tutzing, Nordbadstraße, D-82327 Tutzing Phone: +49-8158 6819 http://nordbad.de
