Grünwald (German for green forest) is a municipality in the district of Munich, in Bavaria, Germany. It is located on the right bank of the Isar, 12 km southwest of Munich (centre). As of 31 December 2011[update] it had a population of 11,109.
Grünwald is best known for its medieval castle Grünwald (Burg Grünwald), for the Bavaria Film Studios (one of Europe's biggest and most famous movie production studios), and as a domicile for many prominent and rich people (Grünwald is the wealthiest municipality in Germany). The castle today houses a branch of the Bavarian Archaeological Museum.
For the 1972 Summer Olympics, the municipality hosted the individual road race cycling event for the 1972 Summer Olympics. A nearly 23 km (14 mi) circuit to be traversed eight times was used.
