Elkofen Castle, also known as Elkofen Castle, Unterelkofen, Ölkofen, is one of the best preserved castles in Upper Bavaria and is located in the town of Unterelkofen. The castle is still inhabited today by the Rechberg-Rothenlöwen family, who owned it between 1664 and 1732 and acquired it again in 1871.

In some places it is very tricky to navigate. If you get distracted here, you could quickly end up in a bad situation.

The Paradiso ice cream parlor in Aßling is always a welcome stop for me when I'm traveling in the southeast of Munich: - tasty ice - friendly service - reasonable prices - beautifully located (on a leafy square, right next to the church) - with seating outside I wish you bon appetite and a pleasant rest!

The “The Degree Confluence Project” is an English-language website on which you can upload photos from very specific points on earth, the intersections of longitude and latitude. The aim is to document all intersections on earth with photos and upload them to the project website. Points that have already been visited can also be visited again and photographed to show possible changes. By the way, the site has been around for over 20 years, it was started in 1996 by Alex Jarrett from the USA. A point of confluence is the place where a line of longitude and a line of latitude intersect. There are about 64,000 such intersections on Earth. Of course, most of these points are in the sea, since the earth has more sea area than land area. All points in the sea are called “secondary points of confluence”. And because the intersections of longitude and latitude are naturally quite clustered near the poles, some intersections on land are also considered only secondary points. From the 49th parallel it hits every third point. Further points from the evaluation of the primary confluence points fall even closer to the poles. But there are still about 12,000 points left, all of which want to be visited and photographed. In Germany there are 32 primary and 15 secondary confluence points. One of these points is in the district of Ebersberg, something "Out of Aßling". Here the 48 degrees north latitude and the 12 degrees east longitude meet. We visited this point and took a photo. And since only from the 49th degree of latitude points are no longer counted as primary, the point at Aßling is a real primary point of confluence. Which is also beautifully situated.
