An ancient, narrow oak avenue, which was probably there when Gabriele Münter and Wassily Kandisnky settled here in 1908. The avenue leads to a beautiful vantage point of the Bavarian Alps and further into the Murnauer Moos.

We started this really nice round at the train station in Murnau. Passing the Münter Haus and a beautiful viewing platform, we went down to the Ähndl, the oldest church in Upper Bavaria.

After this short detour, we hiked on to the Drachenstich on the well-marked path. Then it went, first uphill and then downhill again to the shore of …

Start at car park P5, which is obviously free of charge when Rewe is closed. The idea comes from the Roth cultural hiking guide Blaues Land. We walked anti-clockwise towards Staffelsee. Past Seeleiten to Drachenstich 🐉 and then to St. George's Church. Continue past the Russenhaus to downtown 😜 Murnau, today with Palmmarkt 😉 back through the Kurpark. All-round recommendable …

Girls Day Out on Father's Day! And that just so spontaneously in the direction of the mountains and lakes. First at the Pilsensee and Ammersee, but we didn't like it there due to the lack of mountains and we continued to the beautiful Staffelsee. Quickly searched for a feasible hike at Komoot and off we went. Was nice to walk; …
