The clouds are moving around and it rains now and then as we leave the Staufner Haus. We are lucky: unlike the other hikers who had hoped in vain for a cable car ride down and now have to descend laboriously, we are allowed to cross the mountain and continue hiking south. Originally, the plan was to

We are now on the road again as a pair, the first real mountain stage is ahead of us, and the weather forecast is clouding over again. So we try to get going reasonably early to reach the mountain destination at the Hochgrat before the thunderstorm front. South out of Oberstaufen and into the Rainwald

The weather calmed down after the thunderstorm, we start the day with a short walk through the Isny town center and a visit to the two main churches, which seem to stand peacefully side by side. The impression is deceptive in that the town's history is marked by long-lasting conflicts between the denominations

Once again, the first stop takes us to the local church. St. Gallus und Ulrich is also a baroque-revised medieval basilica. Unlike in Waldsee, however, in a very lively manner, the ceiling vault appears positively dynamic. A beautiful, harmonious spatial impression, underscored by the litany of a Marian

We begin our tour again with a visit to the main church of St. Peter, actually a late Gothic building from the end of the 15th century, later Baroque. Impressive mainly because of its Baroque double-tower facade. Inside, compared to St. Magnus in Schussenried, it appears more inorganic and cold, which

Before we start our day's route, we take a short tour of the extensive and quiet monastery complex and visit the church of St. Magnus. Originally a late Romanesque building, dating from around 1200, it was expanded in the Gothic style and later Baroque.
What strikes us: the beautiful play of light, the

10 liters of rain fell last night, just enough to properly wash the parks and streets again. It can rain a bit more for storage. But for now, it's wonderful to immerse yourself in the over-green abundance of the corn. A business appointment in Schwabing makes it possible to add a short walk through the

The planned route of a future walking trip is intended to lead through a larger protected forest area. There, nature is left entirely to its own devices. At least a marked hiking trail leads through the middle of it, and obstacles and storm-felled trees are to be expected. This stimulates thought:

Despite the short distance, this is not a leisurely stroll. On mostly narrow sidewalks along a busy road, standing in scorching sun until your back stiffens, while hearing reports that make your own discomfort seem like a trifle, like just a tiny hint of what the people who marched through the Würmtal

How to comment on these new developments along a small city route? Very simple: in the evening, the BRSO invites to a concert in the Isarphilharmonie and we walk there. Use the new tram 14 for the first (boring) meters to Ammerseestraße/A96, right by the Westpark. The current tram route is just a foretaste

A path I've wanted to walk for a long time, all in one go. Munich's grand and underappreciated main road to the west, Landsberger Straße. It runs almost straight for 7 km, then makes a very gentle bend and continues as Bayerstraße straight to Stachus, another good 1 km. Looking at the map involuntarily

The quiet hope that this stage would throw us into botany is more than fulfilled. A real pleasure tour, if you are interested in mountain flowers, alpine ecology, wide views and quiet paths. Since we already start at half height, it is almost a walk to the summit on a foot-friendly root path. At the
