Location of the Grünwald Forest in the Munich district

The Grünwalder Forest is a 19.58 km² community-free forest area south of Munich . Together with the Perlacher Forst and Forstenrieder Park, it belongs to the "Southern Operating Class" of the Munich Forestry Company of the Bavarian State Forests and is of considerable importance as a recreational area for the residents of Munich and its immediate vicinity. It is part of the Munich green belt .

The Grünwalder Forest, which stretches west to the Isar , almost completely encloses the hamlet of Wörnbrunn, which belongs to the municipality of Grünwald . The districts of Sauschütt and Brunnhaus (dilapidated) of Grünwald are completely enclosed by the Grünwald forest. The municipality of Oberhaching also has a small exclave in the forest near Brunnen-Geräum. The border with unincorporated Perlacher Forest forms the border Vacated . The Munich – Holzkirchen railway runs through the forest from here to Ludwigs-Geräum .

At the western edge of the forest in the river bed of the Isar is the Georgenstein , a boulder from Nagelfluh .

State road 2072 and county road M 11 cut through the forest.

The former Roman road ( Via Julia ) Augsburg / Salzburg runs through the forest from Straßlach to Laufzorn . The route is visible as a 0.6 m high and 8 to 10 m wide dam in the terrain.

In the forest there is the so-called Römerschanze , a section fortification possibly from the late Roman imperial period, but at least from the 10th century, over the wall remains of a small Roman settlement from the 4th century and a castle stables from the high Middle Ages, further a bridge from the Roman imperial period and two burial mounds from prehistoric times with finds from the Bronze and Hallstatt Ages as well as a square hill from the late Latène period .
