Too many trees in the way. You can save yourself the trouble

According to legend, at the end of the 19th century, the Ayingen village shepherd at the time, the "Much", sought shelter under an ancient, large beech tree with the sheep he had entrusted to him because of an approaching storm. This spot was popular because a spring rose there where people could cool off. For no apparent reason, all the sheep suddenly ran off in the same direction. The Much found them nearby in what was then a young forest. Minutes later, lightning struck the ancient beech tree and destroyed it completely. The Much would probably not have survived if he had stayed in the old location. Overwhelmed by the event, the Much knelt down and thanked God for his rescue. Afterwards he was changed, taciturn and thoughtful. Weeks later he was found dead in the spot where he had thanked God for his rescue, dressed in his Sunday best. What and how he died was never clarified. The source and the entire history of both grottos can be found at the following link: www.mystisch.net/blog/?p=128

The Kupferbachtal was created at the end of the last Ice Age when the meltwater from the Inn-Chiemsee Glacier and partly from the Isar Glacier could not flow into the Rosenheim Basin, which was still filled with ice, and thus a longer period of standstill at the edge of the glacier (so-called Ellkofen Stage). Northeast towards Wasserburg or Gars towards the Inn (“surrounding channel”). The surrounding channel was formed and used between around 18,000 years ago and around 16,500 to 17,000 years ago. Today the area is characterized by several strong calcareous springs. Source and further information https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kupferbachtal

The trail, which is rarely used, leads along a wild ravine. It will no longer be accessible by spring 2025, following a storm last year.

Nice waypoint, but not a highlight

This small valley is part of the Gleißental. From the Deininger Weiher there is a drain first on the surface, which then seeps away. It has its source on the southern edge of Oberhaching as the Hachinger Bach.

Looks beautiful route through the Kupferbachtal

The Gleißental is an incision a little over eight kilometers long and around 25 meters deep from the Deininger Weiher in the south to the Oberhachingen district of Deisenhofen in the north. There it goes over into the valley of the Hachinger Bach. The Gleißental came into being towards the end of the Würm Ice Age, around 20,000 to 14,000 years ago as a result of the runoff of the meltwater from the Isar-Loisach glacier. The valley is a glacial drainage channel of the then Eglinger Glacier Finger, which in turn came from the Wolfratshausen glacial basin. The current discharge of the Deininger Weiher was the former glacier gate of the Wolfratshausen glacial basin and today marks the beginning of the valley. Nowadays, a run, a hike or a bike tour through the Gleißental is a real recommendation! https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glei%C3%9Fental
