Penzing lies in the middle of a beautiful landscape with rolling hills and green meadows. The region is known for its picturesque lakes and rivers as well as its numerous hiking and cycling trails. There are many opportunities here to enjoy nature and engage in sporting activities.

The Kaltenberg Castle, which serves as the backdrop for the famous knights' tournament, and the nearby Ammersee - one of the largest lakes in Bavaria - are particularly worth seeing. Here you can not only swim or go boating but also enjoy the sunset on a romantic walk along the shore.

Penzing also has a lot to offer culturally: For example, visit the museum "Altes Pfarrhaus", which offers insights into the history of the village, or visit the church of St. Georg with its impressive frescoes from the 15th century.

For culinary connoisseurs, Penzing offers some local specialities such as Weißwürste or Brezen.

If it rains, you can spend a leisurely day at the thermal baths in Bad Wörishofen - just a short drive away from Penzing! Or you can explore one of the many museums in the area, such as the "House of Bavarian History" in Augsburg.

Penzing is particularly beautiful in spring and summer, when the landscape is in full bloom and you can be active outside. But it also has its charm in autumn: the forests turn colourful and invite you to take long walks.

Penzing - A small village with a lot of charm - definitely worth a trip!

    Wie in der Rezession vorher möchte ich sagen: eine schöne Tour. Aber auch mein Hinweis: nicht von Penzing nach Landsberg fahren. Der Vorschlag über Kaufring ist gut. Allerdings könnte man auch, bevor man nach Kaufring kommt, links abbiegen und über Sandau nach Landsberg fahren. Dann spart man sich insbesondere in Landsberg den Aufstieg an der alten bzw. Neuen Bergstrasse. Noch ein wichtiger Hinweis: zu Ende dieses Jahres bzw. mit Beginn nächsten Jahres wird ein straßenbegleitender Radweg zwischen Schwifting und Finning neu gebaut.

    Schöne Idee von Geltendorf nach Landsberg am Lech zu fahren. Routen Führung an kleinen Stellen verbesserbar. Gründe diese Tour zu machen: angenehme Straßen, viele Öko Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, Landsberg am Lech. Der Rückweg von Landsberg nach Geltendorf ist ein besonders gut ausgebauter Radweg.

    Schöne Runde, besonders zwischen Windach und Fuchstal. Der Nordteil ist nicht so berauschend.
