Finning
Accommodation in Finning
Finning lies in the foothills of the Alps, amid a varied moraine landscape, and is part of the Five Lakes Region. This gives the village a distinct landscape setting. At the same time, Finning brings together a range of attractions: a bathing lake, a stretch of the Windach in a landscape conservation area, and a church whose history spans from a Gothic hall church to its redesign in the Rococo style. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, you can consider which of these features you would like to shape your stay most.

Water and nature around Finning
Windachspeichersee is a local recreation facility with a campsite and bathing lake. This makes access to water one of the specific features that set Finning apart as a holiday destination. For families who want to factor in a bathing lake when choosing their destination, this is a useful point of reference.
The Windachspeicher district youth campsite is available to youth groups and youth work organisations by prior booking; individuals and private use are excluded.
Another natural feature is the stretch of the Windach between Finning, in the district of Unterfinning, and the village of Windach. It is part of the “Windachtal between Finning (district of Unterfinning) and Windach” landscape conservation area. The name refers to this stretch. Windachsee is also a separate point of reference for planning: it lies along cycling and hiking routes 4 and 8 between Landsberg am Lech and Dießen am Ammersee. If you are considering cycling and hiking routes, you can take this route information into account when choosing destinations.
Church history in Oberfinning
The Church of the Holy Cross is in Oberfinning, the main village in the municipality of Finning. It is a Gothic hall church dating from the second half of the 15th century and was redesigned in the Rococo style in the mid-18th century. Its history therefore brings together two clearly defined periods: its Gothic origins and its later redesign. For visitors interested in churches and historic architecture, the church offers a specific cultural point of reference within the municipality. Its history can be considered independently of whether nature, water or culture is the main focus of your travel plans.
Choosing a location and planning your journey
For travel by public transport, the bus connection to the S-Bahn terminus in Geltendorf is a useful point of reference. The VG bus route established for this connection is now called LVG 91 and runs via Finning, Windach and Eresing. If you are considering a holiday apartment in Finning, you can factor this route into your own travel plans and check how it fits with the places you intend to visit. The destinations and connection mentioned here provide an indication of the route, not of individual distances or journey times.
Finning therefore offers several distinct points to consider when choosing a holiday destination: a moraine landscape, a bathing lake, a protected stretch of the Windach and the Church of the Holy Cross. Which holiday apartment is right for you depends on which of these aspects of the village you would like to focus on. Other places at the same level: Eresing.
For the higher-level travel overview: Windach.
