Andechs Monastery

Highlight • Religious Site

For one euro you can climb the tower of the church. Quite exciting, as over very narrow and steep stairs. But the view is great.

A trip to Andechs Monastery and back! Luckily (because several people weren't there), we were able to take part in an exciting brewery tour!

October 3, 2023,Von Friedberg mit dem Rennrad nach Herrsching und Wanderung zum Kloster Andechs Teil 2 von 3

Part 2 of 3:
I picked up my father from the train station in Herrsching and took a nice hike with him to the monastery. The journey there via the Hörndweg was very demanding for him at 86. But hey, hey, he did it all. There were far too many people at the monastery, so after a quick snack we …

Short hike on a beautiful forest and meadow path from Herrsching to Andechs Monastery with a stop at the monastery inn.
First from the train station along the promenade of the Ammersee, then briefly through the village to the hiking trail.

In fantastic weather we head up to Andechs Monastery 🥰 with the same name 🍺 😋.
We even managed to climb the tower this year 😅. If you're claustrophobic or don't like steep ladders, you'd better stay down below 🤭🤣.
It was another beautiful day 🥰.

After an eternity we finally went back to Andechs today.
What can I say, what felt like millions of people had the idea.
Well, given the wonderful weather ☀️ no wonder, but we avoided the monastery itself. The crowds on the paths were enough for us.
Always nice the round and the 👶 had a lot of fun on the …

The ascent for my pilgrimage was over the Leithenhöhe.
Back via the Hansi-Wolle-Weg.
Was a wonderful day of relaxation and meditation. Good for letting go. Didn't eat a "club leg". Otherwise I wouldn't have made it back. Just a great year-end.

February 28, 2022,Wanderung Herrsching-Andechs-Ammersee

We parked for a fee at the Herrsching S-Bahn station and took the less steep path over the Kiental to the monastery. Unfortunately everything was closed when we got there. We went back via the Hörndl to the Ammersee. There we got something to eat and drink on the lake promenade.
