Sights include the Flaucher, a part of the Isarauen ("floodplains") and a popular recreation site, and Tierpark Hellabrunn (Munich Zoo) which can be found on the opposite side of the river from Thalkirchen.

Forstenried abuts Forstenrieder Park, a large, protected forest, stretching to the south toward Pullach and Starnberg and to the west Neuried.

Forstenrieder Park offers recreational opportunities, with paved and unpaved paths, including deciduous and evergreen trees.

On the northwestern side, there are shopping opportunities centered on the Forstenrieder Allee U-Bahn station, including a bowling alley.

On the far southeast side, adjacent to Drygalski Alee and Herterichstraße, there are some high-rise apartments, bordered by large crop fields.

The A95 provides easy access to Lake Starnberg, just ten minutes to the southwest, as well as to recreational opportunities in the Bavarian Alps, including the ski town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen.

Fürstenried is a residential neighborhood along the A95 that was initiated in 1959 as a large scale urban housing development by the municipality and the savings bank of Munich Stadtsparkasse München.

[2] Now Fürstenried West, was also part of the original development plan and features groups of single family homes in a low-rise high-density configuration erected in 1962-1963.

The development is named after Schloss Fürstenried, a palace erected in 1715 by Max Emanuel, Elector of Bavaria as a hunting lodge.
