Garbage Hill tour for the local history society.
I was totally surprised when 70 people showed up for the tour of Augsburg's Garbage Hill.

On the approximately 50-meter-high hill

Today, it was a small group of 16 people, who weren't afraid to hike the Singold Loop even in the rain. Only the "tough guys" do it; the "softies" stay home.

A cycling tour through the Wittelsbach region. The goal was to have lunch at the Landhausbräu Koller in Heretswiesen. And that was exactly the right time. Master brewer Ludwig Koller has been brewing his naturally cloudy light, dark and wheat beers since 2000. The restaurant is highly recommended.

Start at the customs house on the Lech. A highlight is Haltenberg Castle, a ruin on the steep bank of the Lech between Scheuring and Kaufering. Today, the complex is the only castle ruin on the entire Lechrain between Donauwörth and Füssen. A little later along the Lechrain you come across another example

A hike to the Justina Chapel near Guggenberg, from Reinhartshofen, is also an inviting way to hike the Way of St. James in winter. Information boards provide good information about the former Klausenhof - it is always interesting to learn something about its history.

A varied bike tour around Lake Forgensee.
You stop again and again to enjoy the view of the mountains, but then you're a bit disconcerted to see the almost empty lake. Especially if you've been to the lake several times in the summer.
For the first time, I saw the Via Claudia reappear from the lakebed
