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.

In good weather you can see the Alps on the horizon.

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.
