    Nice entrance to the Perlacher Forst at the old forester's house Giesing with the two-headed Janus fountain on the opposite side of the street.

          A special feature of the Perlacher Forest are its dead-straight paths in a checkerboard pattern, some of which are gravel or even paved. Popular with racing cyclists is the paved north-south axis through the Perlacher Forest, which ends at the Kugleralm (a lovely, large beer garden!), where the shandy (mixed drink) was supposedly invented during a supply shortage (we now know better; it's been around for a while). The route was already extremely popular as a cycling excursion out of Munich around 1900, so even beer could be in short supply on the outskirts of Munich. Another highlight is the Perlacher Mugl, a viewing hill estimated to be less than 50 meters high, also located close to the north-south axis. As you can read on the information board at the top of the refuge, the excavated material from the MacGraw Trench on Munich's A995 motorway was used to bury a World War II anti-aircraft tower that would have been impossible to blow up. A lovely little vantage point, information boards help identify important Alpine peaks on the horizon.
