So, if you look south from the Hohen Peißenberg hill next to the Church of the Assumption of Mary, you can definitely see into the Ammer Valley. To see the Loisach River, you'd have to look as far as Penzberg, Murnau, or Garmisch-Partenkirchen. That might be difficult. Maybe I'll remember to bring my binoculars next time. Let's see if I can spot the Loisach in the distance, or if hills and mountains are in the way.
