Kiental Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

The main hiking trail from Herrsching to Andechs Monastery is easy to master. You always run along the Kienbach (fairly constant slope). On the way through the gorge you can see impressive rocks, great roots and very old trees ...
The shady deciduous trees make hiking or cycling easier ...
If you are traveling early enough, you can enjoy the beauty of this gorge almost alone ... during the day there are more and more hiking columns ;-)

View of Lake Ammersee

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Ammersee is very scenic, unfortunately the path on the state road suggested by Komoot is very dangerous and strenuous. Due to time constraints, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to reach the ship, we had to go this way. I wouldn't do this tour again.

Lake Ammer

Highlight • Lake

Wonderful view over the expanses of the Ammersee. In summer, many beach sections also lure to a quick dip in the cool water.

Herrsching Pier

Highlight • Rest Area

Lake Ammersee can be pleasantly experienced and explored with the ships of the Bayerische Seenschifffahrt. The fleet of the Bayerische Seenschifffahrt on Lake Ammersee includes several ships, including the state-of-the-art MS Augsburg (built in 2008) and the museum steamship MS Dießen.

From the train station in Herrsching, it first goes a bit through the village, the path goes across a beer garden and then slowly ascends on a wide forest/forest path that is equipped with many benches! up. Shortly before you reach the monastery, you go up a few steps and along the monastery wall until you reach your destination. At …

Nice round from Herrsching, first along the Ammersee, then up to the Andechs monastery. Unfortunately, the path at the lake was not completely accessible, so we had to switch to the road (bike path) for a short time.

Shortly before the end (Herrsching) the riverside path is pretty much under water: shoes 👞 off, trousers roll up, eyes 👀 closed - and through!

Actually a really nice hike, but currently has 2 catches:
1.) The riverside path south of Herrsching is still closed due to flooding 🌊, there's really no way through. So I walked a long way along the noisy road.
2.) 🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟
In fact, I was never alone on the way from leaving the road to Andechs Monastery, the sucking creatures …
