Here the Amper is dammed up a bit. The Ampersee is still a good distance away.:-)
Therefore the name is not quite correct!
A small, hidden jewel. Whoever doesn't rest and look here...
Beautiful motifs for the camera await you.👍✔

Amper River Trail: Schöngeising to Grafrath

Highlight • Trail

I'm sorry, but this route is not recommended at the moment. It is dangerous in parts due to fallen trees and slipped paths. Under no circumstances should you do this with children.

February 15, 2022,Feierabendrunde von Grafrath nach Schöngeising an der Amper und zurück durch die Amperschlucht

Actually, today, on my short working day, I was completely unmotivated to walk a few more kilometers for the mega challenge. But a gentle self-kick in the butt was enough. The weather was modest as announced. The shower didn't stop either. Now comfortably on the couch it was a nice trip. From Grafrath at the water rescue service, it almost …

A stop in the beer garden in Schöngeising “Zum Unter’n Wirth” is a must: The delicious cakes 🍰 are baked there by grandma, the very friendly service told us. And that's how they taste, just great 😋.
The path along the north-western bank is wildly overgrown in parts and a few …

I'm on vacation at home, so I decided to go on a Schöngeising tour through the Amperschlucht. 🥾You can also explore your own gei. Would have been really nice without a fallen tree. So I had to turn around and go back.🙈but it was still nice🤩and you look better the second time 🤗
