How to get in Andechs
By public transportation (S-Bahn S8) to Herrsching, south west of Munich; from there an approximately 3km hike through beautiful scenery, or take a bus or cab. Taking the car is not advisable, at least not if you plan on drinking.
If taking the S-Bahn, small signs that state "Fußweg nach Andechs" will lead you from the Herrsching station to the abbey. At the end of Andechsstraße, a sign points right (this is about 7 min into the walk; there is a steep hill with a staircase directly behind the sign); however, there is an alternative route which you can take at that point by turning left and walking a small U around a couple houses. There, you will see an obvious hiking path up to the abbey. Both ways are beautiful, but the alternative path is a bit easier to climb.
The Bus line 951 runs from Herrsching S-Bahn station with some more stops within the town. The bus station in Andechs is next to the monastery parking place. Note that this Bus is not operated by Munichs public transport company but by a private company, so you have to pay the fare even if you have a day ticket or something. The price is 2,20 € for one way.
If you are planning a visit, try to avoid the weekends: it can get quite full.
