Living in Icking: Quiet living in the Isar valley with quick access to Munich
Picturesque landscape, absolute tranquillity
Icking is located to the north of Wolfratshausen in the Isar Valley and, according to the official municipal map, borders Wolfratshausen, Münsing, Berg, Schäftlarn and Egling. This location is very strong from a residential perspective because it opens up both the south of Munich and the area towards Lake Starnberg and the Isar Valley. At the same time, Icking itself remains clearly rural and residential.
Neighboring towns and important points of reference
Schäftlarn, Wolfratshausen, Berg and the nearby Isar Valley play a particularly important role in everyday life. The municipality is functionally closely linked to these neighboring areas via the Icking train station, the S7 and bus lines 973 and 974. The MVV orientation map for Icking shows not only the S7 but also lines 973 and 974 as well as the proximity to the Isar floodplains between Schäftlarn and Bad Tölz.

From a residential perspective, Icking is particularly interesting for people who want to live close to nature and in high quality, but not in seclusion. Icking is a quiet location, with many kindergartens and two grammar schools. This makes it a residential location that is less about urban density and more about residential tranquillity, proximity to education and quality of location.
Added to this is the established structure of the municipality. According to the official municipal website, Icking consists of eleven districts: Alpe, Attenhausen, Dorfen, Holzen, Icking, Irschenhausen, Meilenberg, Schlederloh, Schützenried, Wadlhausen and Walchstadt. This is important for prospective tenants and buyers because living conditions within the municipality can vary considerably - from close to the railroad and everyday life to more rural and secluded.
Typical resident groups are families, commuters heading for Munich, households looking for a quieter place to live, people with a strong connection to nature and leisure activities, and those looking to live in the Isar Valley but want to remain flexible in their everyday lives. This target group description is an editorial derivation from location, schools, childcare and transport links.

Shopping
When it comes to shopping, Icking should not be told in an artificially metropolitan way. It is more appropriate to focus on smaller, everyday offers and on the local, regional character of the town. This includes delicatessen and farm shop structures as well as regional products from the surrounding area. For everyday living, this means: manageable local supply on site, supplemented by short distances to the neighboring shopping locations in the southern outskirts of Munich.
Gastronomy
In terms of gastronomy, Icking is more relaxed and close to home than trendy. Instead of a classic nightlife district, the scene is dominated by inns, restaurants and smaller eateries. This suits the residential area in the Isar valley well: eating out here is more part of a quiet everyday life or a weekend getaway than an expression of a dense nightlife.
Leisure
This section is particularly strong in Icking. The municipality lists a wide range of childcare, the Icking elementary school, other schools such as the Rainer Maria Rilke Grammar School and the Eggenberg Grammar School as well as supplementary services such as the Family Compass, children's and youth library and open all-day school. At the same time, the recreational value is very high due to the location in the Isar Valley: the municipality refers to excursions & destinations in the surrounding area, to voluntary environmental and recreational structures such as the Isar Valley Association and to the close proximity to nature. It is precisely this combination of proximity to education, everyday family life and leisure activities close to nature that makes Icking a particularly harmonious place to live.
