Glonn is a market town in the Ebersberg district in Upper Bavaria, Germany, about 30 km (19 mi) southeast of Munich.

Geography[change | change source]

The market town of Glonn is a health spa (Erholungsort), and the Glonn Valley is ringed by wooded hills, carved by the former Inn Glacier. To the south, the Alps are clearly visible on the horizon.

The rivers Glonn, Kupferbach [de] and Schrannenbach rise within Glonn's municipal area, where the lake Kastensee is also to be found. Just inside the neighbouring community of Moosach finds the Steinsee, another lake. Glonn is also home to three protected areas.

Neighbouring communities[change | change source]

Glonn's immediate neighbours are the communities of Baiern, Bruck, Egmating, Moosach and Oberpframmern, which together with Glonn form an administrative community (Verwaltungsgemeinschaft).

The town of Grafing and the centres of Kirchseeon, Zorneding and Höhenkirchen-Siegertsbrunn are about 15 km away. Nevertheless, it is there that regional and long-distance rail service is to be found.

Glonn is about 30 km from the cities of Munich and Rosenheim.
