There’s Plenty to Do

Inspired by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s famous quote, “Why wander far afield when the good is so close?” – this sentiment perfectly describes the local sports and leisure opportunities in the FÜRstenried West Quarter. A wide variety of sports clubs are located directly in and around the neighborhood.
There are also many easily accessible recreational destinations from Munich: Lake Starnberg, Alpine foothills, and the Alps. Germany’s fifth-largest lake invites investors to swim, row, or sale and is equally popular with divers and kite surfers. At certain times of the year, water skiing is also possible here. Hikers and cyclists will find many scenic routes throughout the Alpine foothills, ideal for staying fit in the fresh air. In winter, ski and snowboard enthusiasts especially benefit from being just a short trip away from countless alpine slopes.

Always Well Supplied

At Schweizer Platz and in the nearby surroundings, you’ll find numerous spots for your daily shopping needs: several supermarkets, a natural food store, and a bakery – as well as ATMs and a specialist bicycle shop. Health care is also well covered here. Several medical practices and a pharmacy are located around the square, which is also home to the “Fürstenried West” subway station.
The keyword “Switzerland” is fitting here: many of the street names in the neighborhood are inspired by towns, municipalities, or cantons in our neighboring country – such as Appenzellerstrasse, Bellinzonastrasse, Graubündenerstrasse, and Zugerstrasse.
This makes orientation easier for new residents of the FÜRstenried West Quarter.
