Maisinger Brook

Highlight • River

The Maisinger Bach meanders beautifully right next to the path that leads through a gorge. When the weather is nice, it's a good idea to put your feet in the stream to cool off.

Caves in the Maisinger Gorge

Tree Roots in Maisinger Gorge

Highlight • Natural Monument

Large parts of the roots are completely exposed. Nevertheless, the trees seem to be doing well and appear to be standing firmly in the ground. The rustic tree roots are really beautiful to look at.

Highlight • Gorge

A little walk is good for New Year's Day. The gorge is not demanding for hikers and is also ideal for a walk with children or four-legged friends. Display boards explain the geological peculiarities of the gorge. And for the children there is a great playground. Not spectacular - but recommended 👍

Used the rain break to do a small (rather unspectacular) hike. Maybe it was the weather or the lack of company that kept the enthusiasm limited 🤷 ♀️🤷 ♀️.

Upon arriving in Bavaria, the weather was initially mediocre to poor. Therefore, we only set a minimal destination. From our accommodation, we took two regional trains plus an S-Bahn, then a bus from Possenhofen on Lake Starnberg to the beginning of the gorge. Thank goodness someone is driving there, because the long, complicated, steeply uphill route isn't really something we'd …
