This time we are hiking up Wallberg that greatly overlooks Tegernsee, approx. 900hm uphill. The trail is fairly easy to walk, but after the workout you surely will enjoy teh “Weizenbier” in the restaurant on the top.
Hiking up Hirschberg near Tegernsee – a classical tour in the Alps near Munich. Not too exciting though. The first ascend is nevertheless a pretty tough exercise!
On the way back from Verona we stopped for 2 days for a quick visit in Merano. The landscape around is beautiful and the city used to be pretty famous back in the 70s/80s, due to a relatively modest micro climate in the valley and it’s thermal waters. You can still tell from many picturesque buildings and hotels but unfortunately, the city has put on some patina since then (just trying to say it in a polite way).
One of the advantage of living in Munich is that it doesn’t take us long to drive to Italy so we occationally do it over long weekends. In German there is even a saying that, Munich is the Northern most part of Italy and Milan is the Southern most part of Germany, meaning that Munich or Bavaria has quite a strong connection to Italy, and the other way around.
We love coming down for skiing in the winter and for some city trips during summer time because the weather is always nicer and the foods are always better in the South ;-).
