Accommodation in Utting am Ammersee
Utting am Ammersee offers several distinct reasons to visit: Lake Ammersee, woods and meadows with panoramic mountain views, as well as specific leisure and cultural attractions.

From the Greifenberg exit on the A-96, the official route to Utting am Ammersee goes through Schondorf. Check your navigation before setting off, as road routes may change. The Ammersee boat service also has a landing stage for steamers in Utting. If you plan to take a boat trip, check the timetable for your visit. Another route leads from the Ammer springs via Oberammergau, Peiting, Weilheim and DieĂźen am Ammersee to Utting am Ammersee. This sequence of places is a separate point of reference alongside the official route via Greifenberg and Schondorf.
Ex Ornamentis: a new design every year
Ex Ornamentis is a labyrinth made of sunflowers, hemp and corn. The field is located in the recreation area on FahrmannsbachstraĂźe in Utting. Each year, the labyrinth features a new design for visitors. The plants and annual change of design give the attraction two specific features: its shape and its new design each year. If you are looking for an outing with a changing design theme, you can include Ex Ornamentis as a destination in its own right.
Climbing and the lido
If you are planning a visit with children, the age requirement for the high ropes course is a useful point of reference: children aged six and older can climb at the Ammersee High Ropes Course in Utting on secured Level 1, at a height of three to five metres. The facility has four climbing routes in total, at different heights. Utting Lido offers something different, with a 10-metre-high diving tower. This gives you two distinct features to compare when choosing: climbing routes at different heights and the lido’s striking tower.
Nature and culture in the municipality
Utting’s natural landscape includes Lake Ammersee, woods and meadows with panoramic mountain views. This landscape adds a focus of its own to the specific leisure attractions. In Holzhausen, within the municipality, you’ll find the Adolf Münzer Museum. It displays a permanent selection of works by Adolf Münzer. For art lovers, this adds a clear cultural theme: the focus is on the work of a single artist.
