オッターフィングの峡谷・トップ8

A beautiful piece of nature. The Kirchseemoorrunde is a highly recommended hike.

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

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.

About eight kilometers long, mostly wooded terrain in the Bavarian foothills of the Alps between Föggenbeuern near Dietramszell and Egling, although I have not marked the piece between Egling and Thanning (because it is a road). You can roll wonderfully in both directions here, sometimes wider, sometimes narrower, sometimes rooty and there are also short pieces of tar. The incision begins south of Föggenbeuern and meanders six kilometers almost due north, turning west near Fraßhausen and Wörschhausen. From here, at the beginning of the 18th century, the abbot of the Schäftlarn monastery created the three ponds in Thanning for fish farming. These are fed by the Moosbach, which rises in the Reichertshauser valley a few hundred meters above the first pond in the Frauenholz area. The valley ends in Egling.

Every year the peat layer grows by around 1 millimeter, so that a peat layer of around 10 m and more has formed since the end of the last ice age 15,000 years ago.

This devil's ditch was always an obstacle for people, because roads, paths and railway lines had to overcome this deeply cut valley. For a water pipeline to Munich, a 91 m long and 19 m high aqueduct even had to be built in 190.

The deep gorge and the narrow Kirchseebach do not fit together at first glance, because how can such a brook form such a gorge? The ravine was therefore believed to have been the work of the devil who is said to have personally excavated the ravine. It has been scientifically proven that the Teufelsschlucht is a glacial valley that was created around 20,000 years ago by the enormous meltwater from the Isar glacier.
