February 5, 2025,Start in die Wander- und Pilgersaison 2025; Wanderung 1/2025; Vom Ammersee zum Kloster Andechs und zurück
At the moment I am visiting family in Munich again. After two uncomfortable, cold, foggy days, great sunny weather and mild temperatures were finally forecast for today. So I was finally able to implement my plan of walking from Ammersee to Andechs Monastery, instead of visiting it with an orthosis and the bus like last year due to an injury. …

Part 2 of 3:
I picked up my father from the train station in Herrsching and took a nice hike with him to the monastery. The journey there via the Hörndweg was very demanding for him at 86. But hey, hey, he did it all. There were far too many people at the monastery, so after a quick snack we …

In fantastic weather we head up to Andechs Monastery 🥰 with the same name 🍺 😋.
We even managed to climb the tower this year 😅. If you're claustrophobic or don't like steep ladders, you'd better stay down below 🤭🤣.
It was another beautiful day 🥰.

We parked for a fee at the Herrsching S-Bahn station and took the less steep path over the Kiental to the monastery. Unfortunately everything was closed when we got there. We went back via the Hörndl to the Ammersee. There we got something to eat and drink on the lake promenade.

The ascent for my pilgrimage was over the Leithenhöhe.
Back via the Hansi-Wolle-Weg.
Was a wonderful day of relaxation and meditation. Good for letting go. Didn't eat a "club leg". Otherwise I wouldn't have made it back. Just a great year-end.

The ascent went along the Hörndlweg, through the forest and with a view of the Ammersee. Somehow there aren't as many people around as there were before Coro... That's also a good thing. Enough space in the monastery shop and in the Bräustüble. The best panoramic view again, like yesterday.
The descent followed via the Kiental. The first birds are …
