Very nice for walking and cycling. But for a real walk in the forest I prefer to use the paths that branch off. There isn't much going on there.

Good way to drink some water. It doesn't taste too bad either. Very refreshing, especially in summer

This wonderful local recreation area offers everything a cyclist's heart desires: picturesque paths, some dead straight and stretching for miles, some adventurous and winding. And whether asphalt or gravel, everyone will find their favorite surface here. As you sit on the bike, surrounded by lush greenery and the scent of the forest, you quickly realize: Here you are far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and yet so close to home. For those who want to take it easy or just need to warm up, the gentle paths of the Perlach Forest are ideal - hardly any inclines and far away from hectic car traffic. But the Perlacher Forest has more to offer than just paths. Why not discover the Perlacher Mugl or be surprised by the hidden bike trails. And all of this in a forest area that extends an impressive 13.36 km² and is part of Munich's green belt. As a community-free area, the forest has a special meaning for the people of Munich: it is not only a place for experiencing nature, but also for education and environmental protection.
