The 9-euro ticket is still valid until the end of August.
You can also experience a lot of art in Upper Bavaria by train and bike.
Our tips for enjoying art around Lake Starnberg!
How much art fits in a day?
A colorful palette full.
If you are allowed to be in Upper Bavaria and open your eyes to what nature has painted for all of us there.
Watch completely free.
The heart swells with joy.
And because it's summer now and because you feel like escaping the world and because your eyes want to see something really beautiful again, we set off by car on a cultural tour around Lake Starnberg.
Six goals in one go.
If you take the train and bike, you can't do them all in one day, but the nine-euro ticket is still valid until the end of August.
Up, up, it's turning green.
Buchheim Museum in Bernried: Bridge and Blue Rider
As soon as you arrive in the parking lot of the Buchheim Museum in Bernried.
The curving path down to the lake is lined with wild bird sculptures.
The special exhibition “Bridge + Blue Rider” awaits inside.
Many visitors are in the colorful halls this morning and are amazed.
About the fact that the house has managed to bring together so many major works by the important groups Brücke and Blauer Reiter.
And about the intoxicating things that artists from Erich Heckel to Max Pechstein (Brücke), Gabriele Münter and Paul Klee (Blauer Reiter) have created.
These are pictures from the heyday of 1905 to 1914. The show aims to offer a fresh look at this creative period.
In fact, the viewer is surprised at how similar the works of the leading Expressionist groups are.
And that there were discussions about the amount of abstraction not so much between the groups - but within them.
In everything, however, the commonality prevails, the urge to express feelings visually.
How much they let themselves be inspired by the Upper Bavarian nature – a feast for the eyes!

Lounging on the sunbathing lawn: Stone sculptures by Erwin Schwentner at the Bernried Humor Festival.
In the background: the voyeur.

Then you step out onto the museum's jetty, look at the glittering lake, the enticing peaks - and ask yourself once again how different the work of Franz Marc and Co. would have looked without this magical landscape.
We let the mountains call and instead walk through the sunshine to the village.
The Bernried Humor Festival will take place there until September 18, 2022.
Mia Böddecker, Alto Hien and Erwin Schwentner have placed their sculptures in the monastery garden.
But when you see Schwentner's stone ladies lounging on the meadow, you get the feeling that they have spread themselves out here.
Eyed by a gentleman who is hiding in the reeds in vain.
The title that the artist gave to this manschgerl makes it funny: “Voyeur, der (male)”.
Meanwhile, Böddecker lets mythical creatures swim in the monastery garden pond,
dive, enjoy the summer life.
You would love to take part in that.
Funny and beautiful at the same time.

Eating culture: There are delicious chocolate smuts in Bernried.

An ice cream would be obvious now.
But we also want to experience culinary art.
So walk to Clement Chococult at the S-Bahn station.
It's half past twelve, shortly before closing time.
Just in time, we think - and only then do we see the machine next to the shop.
Or as Franz Clement calls him: Herbert.
Along with his wife and sons Max and Sebastian, Herbert is his most important employee.
The vending machine delivers chocolate treats around the clock.
The empty compartments, which Max quickly fills up, show how well it is used.
We are so taken with the chocolate mess that we take some home with us.
"For home", yes yes.
You never got to Munich.

One likes to wander through this forest of columns: 100 artists from all over the world have designed the open hall STOA169.
Admission to the art project, which is open all year round, is free.

If you're on the road by bike, you've got enough sweet energy for the approximately 20 kilometers to Polling.
And we sluggish drivers for the 20-minute walk that we still have to cover from the parking lot there to the actual destination.
That is: the sculpture park STOA169.
In the middle of the countryside.
More than 100 artists from all over the world have designed columns, together they carry the roof.
An oversized cucumber by Erwin Wurm or a match by Bjørn Melhus - you'll love wandering through this forest of columns.
Light falls into the open hall through square holes in the ceiling, and a little tree grows towards the sun.
An experience that costs no admission.
You are welcome to leave donations.

Young feminist art: an installation by Sandra Bejarano in the Penzberg Museum.

Art that has something to say is always political.
Like in the Penzberg Museum.
There the show "Humanity as a Motor" tells the story of the Red Cross and shows contemporary art on the topics of health, body and vulnerability.
One work by the Spaniard Sandra Bejarano, born in 1991, is particularly memorable.
For the installation "I am gonna donate my Eggs, I am gonna freeze my Eggs" she asked women why they freeze their egg cells - and now presents the answers in large letters.
From amusing ("I will donate my eggs because I don't want to have children, but I think it would be a waste not to pass on my sense of humor") to critical ("I will freeze my eggs because the patriarchy made sure that we are obsessed with motherhood.").

Sensation: Kandinsky's "Stairs to the Castle" (1909) in the Murnau Castle Museum.

"And tomorrow to Murnau!" is the name of the exhibition in the Castle Museum there.
Why wait until tomorrow?
We jet into the lovely community now.
Unfortunately, the Schönegger Käse-Alm shop is closed.
But we're not here to eat.
So straight to the museum.
What the fine little house offers is anything but cheese.
It presents "Stairs to the Castle" (1909) by Wassily Kandinsky, which was long considered lost.
The painting is the highlight of a show of works by Münter and Kandinsky related to the couple's creative period in Murnau.
Another artistic declaration of love for the region.
Again an inner rejoicing when looking at it.
You would love to pick up the paintbrush yourself.
Oh how beautiful Upper Bavaria is!
(Until October 9, 2022 in the Murnau Castle Museum. Tue.-Sun., 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.)
