About Renting a Car at Munich South-West

Continuing south along the same route brings you to Garmisch-Partenkirchen and Zugspitze, Germany's highest mountain, in just over an hour.

Eastward via A8 lies the picturesque town of Salzburg at approximately an hour and a half's drive, while Chiemsee with its fairy-tale Herrenchiemsee Palace is reached in under an hour. Summer offers the entire region lush nature and glittering lakes, while winter months attract visitors with skiing in the Alps.
