September 24, 2023,Stairway to Heaven – Rundweg von Erling (Andechs) nach Herrsching

A wonderful autumn hike on mostly quiet paths from Erling (near Andechs) down to the lake, along the riverside path to Herrsching and back over the Hörnlewwg. You can also start the tour from the large parking lot in Andechs.
Probably less suitable if there is snow.
