View of Ammersee and Dießen

Highlight • Viewpoint

The trail is the Andechser Höhenweg and at some times (usually in very nice weather) already very well visited ... you have to then just take each other a little consideration ;-)

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!

Andechs Monastery

Highlight • Religious Site

For one euro you can climb the tower of the church. Quite exciting, as over very narrow and steep stairs. But the view is great.

In a departure from the usual tour, we started in Andechs. The advantage: The end point was Andechs Monastery again, where a delicious beer awaited us 😇. For today's Corpus Christi celebration, we enjoyed a hearty meal with beautiful music in the beer garden (a quieter spot for us 😉).

Drive the car to the workshop for inspection and TÜV and then with a dog from Pähl to Andechs via Kerschlach and Messnerbichl and back via the Andechser Höhenweg. Shortly after the hard band, the battery was empty and the tour was shortened. But I continued anyway, because the replacement car just refused to come across when called. :)
