Too many trees in the way. You can save yourself the trouble

The trail, which is rarely used, leads along a wild ravine. It will no longer be accessible by spring 2025, following a storm last year.

About eight kilometers long, mostly wooded terrain in the Bavarian foothills of the Alps between Föggenbeuern near Dietramszell and Egling, although I have not marked the piece between Egling and Thanning (because it is a road). You can roll wonderfully in both directions here, sometimes wider, sometimes narrower, sometimes rooty and there are also short pieces of tar. The incision begins south of Föggenbeuern and meanders six kilometers almost due north, turning west near Fraßhausen and Wörschhausen. From here, at the beginning of the 18th century, the abbot of the Schäftlarn monastery created the three ponds in Thanning for fish farming. These are fed by the Moosbach, which rises in the Reichertshauser valley a few hundred meters above the first pond in the Frauenholz area. The valley ends in Egling.

Wonderfully tranquil valley north of the eponymous village of Föggenbeuern. Good paths, beautiful landscape elements such as a small pond and a morbid, beautiful barn.

Fantastic valley ("enchanted" is pretty good), regardless of whether you are out on foot or by bike. In wet weather or after rainy days, however, you need appropriate equipment underneath.

Beautiful! But not exactly easy, better with a mountain bike, because the road is very rocky. Definitely NOT suitable for trailers!
