Grafrath: Hotels and Accommodation
Accommodation in Grafrath
Grafrath lies on the edge of the Ampermoos nature reserve. There, the water of the Ammersee glacier broke through a terminal moraine, into which the Amper later cut deeply. The historic town center developed in front of this breakthrough; other parts of the settlement extend through the narrow valley and along the upper banks of the river.
