Andechs Abbey

Highlight • Religious Site

The world-famous Benedictine monastery is one of the few that still brews its own beer independently of the group. This can be tasted directly on the inviting beer terrace next door. Bottom up!

View of Andechs Abbey

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

The path winds from the ox dug to Andechs always along the edge of the forest. Good to walk, far enough away from the road and with a nice view.

Ochsengraben Crossing

Highlight • Gorge

The Ochsengraben is crossed on stones. Variety when hiking - not just for children - especially when the stream has more water.

This path is often taken by families with small children. The species who think they have to thunder down the mountain here bring the whole scene into disrepute.
So please considerate driving here.

With public transport and 8 friends a hike to St. Mountain.

A meeting with @Sie wandert 🥾🏞️🇺🇦 is always a guarantee for inspiring conversations and walking countless kilometers, which are then behind us in the blink of an eye. The joy is all the greater that we have managed to meet up again.
We set off from the Hechendorf-Seefeld S-Bahn, in the still high foggy, mystical morning light, and soon afterwards …

Once again managed to arrange a hiking and chatting date with the lovely @CaDi and thus conjured up a really colorful hiking week. We met on the S-Bahn towards Hechendorf and immediately immersed ourselves in all topics of the world (tiny exaggeration). We then set off straight away in Hechendorf and not long after setting off we suddenly found ourselves …

January 30, 2022,Seefeld - Andechs
Start at the parking lot of Seefeld Castle from the 18th century, along the Morbach on the Rasso pilgrimage route to the Andechs monastery. A classic quiet hiking trail along the eastern cliff of the Pilsensee offers a view of the lake group up to the Ammersee even in winter. More beautiful views can be seen on the high trail …

A highly recommended tour, very easy to walk and varied. A break at one of the Andechs monastery restaurants is highly recommended.
