Push west all the way to Bavaria's third-largest lake. Mostly through quiet countryside. (~50 km one-way)
Follow the Würm river south all the way to Starnberger See. Lakeside ride to Tutzing, train home. (~45 km one-way)
A bigger day — two of the Fünfseenland lakes in one ride, with a swim option in between. (~55 km one-way)
Direct east-then-north route to Schleißheim — two lakes and the Olympic rowing course. Open water and big sky instead of forest. (~26 km loop)
BOB train into the Voralpen. Lakeside walk, then a steady climb to a forested castle ruin with a panoramic viewpoint over Schliersee, descending to a different station for the train home. (~6 km on foot (point-to-point))
