The burgers and salads are fantastic. It's a lovely spot to unwind by the lake.

Freibad Garatshausen

10 Trevor Smith

This place is fantastic. It has a charmingly old-fashioned vibe and is impeccably clean and organized. There is a welcoming restaurant that offers takeout options and beverages. The well-maintained grass lawn adds to the overall appeal, and it doesn't get overly crowded, at least during our visit.

Spielplatz Tutzing Brahmspromenade

10 Lena Schmidt

This lovely location features a seesaw, sandbox, climbing tower, and swing for kids, as well as benches along the path. If you keep walking down the Brahmspromenade, you'll eventually reach the Tutzinger beer garden.
