Dick had chosen a beautiful hike, it had the necessary kilometers (14.5) but not that many altitude meters (150). Krün lies at the foot of the Karwendel mountains, so we had a beautiful view of it again. We walked through beautiful forest, past 3 beautiful lakes and also had a beautiful view of the Mittelgebirge, to which the Zugspitze also …

Since I often travel on paths where there are a lot of cyclists, not all of whom announce their arrival, I wouldn't recommend walking the route with dogs. In summer, there's not enough shade along the route if you want to walk with your dog anyway.
