What a wonderful tour! One of my favorites.

Berching, a themed hike just the way I like it. Check out this collection at komoot - I think you might like it. "Seven themed trails" https://www.komoot.de/collection/1815688/-seven-themed-trails Our path leads past various steles that stimulate thought (knowledge - be and be inspired). Gradually we come across such a stele with the life of St. Benedict. Our path leads us through a dreamy forest that has been soaked by the rain. It smells like fresh forest .... mhhh, how I like it! We reach the Plankstetten monastery and take a break. Our way back takes place on the meadow path. An absolute hiking recommendation!
