Fodor's Expert Review Roseninsel

Starnberger See Historic Home
Roseninsel, Starnberger See, Munich, Germany

Just offshore is the tiny island where King Maximilian II built a summer villa (called a casino). You can swim to the island's tree-fringed shores or sail across in a dinghy (rentals are available at Possenhofen's boatyard and at many other rental points along the lake). Visits to the casino are available by guided tour only. There is also a ferry service to take you over; the cost is €5 round-trip.
