Beautiful path through the Kiental valley, but be careful, this time the path was completely icy in winter; the Hörndleweg path was all the more beautiful for it.

Even small children can easily run the 8km, it might just take a little longer now in autumn when you feel like you have to play with every leaf 🤣 The parents are really grounded and learn patience!

The path is always nice and cool, not too steep and nice and wide, even in strong sun 🌞.

Magnificent views of Andechs against the backdrop of the Alps, with the moraine landscape of the Five Lakes Region in the distance. Always worth a short or even longer pause.
