A bike ride could hardly be more full of contrasts. We’ll delve into the depths of the universe and cycle across Bavaria’s last remaining valuable heathlands. The planetarium at the ESO headquarters on the Garching Research Campus and the gravel plains right on Munich’s doorstep make this possible. Sheep and lambs along the heath trail: Let’s draw inspiration from the heathland south of Eching and start at Parking Lot 1 at Echinger See, next to the highway, heading toward the Echinger Lohe Natural Forest Reserve. We’ll return here as well. On weekends during the swimming season, there is a parking fee. First, we cycle to the county road and turn right across the highway. We turn onto Bruckfeldweg right away and ride along the edge of the Echinger Lohe, which is surrounded by heathland. A wild, overgrown grove and nature reserve of oak and hornbeam trees, left to grow on its own but crisscrossed by romantic little paths. At the crossroads, we turn right and arrive at the Garchinger Heide nature reserve. A trail leads us a short way into the reserve (please walk your bike here), from which we turn right onto the county road. There, an educational trail—the Heidepfad—winds through the magnificent, expansive landscapes of the Garchinger and Mallertshofer heaths. It’s an interesting destination for the whole family, whether on foot or by bike. At 20 varied stations, we learn fascinating facts about the heathland and the flora and fauna of the Munich gravel plain. The quiet expanse feels like the Eurasian steppe, not the Munich area. From April through October, we might even come across a shepherd and his herding dog, along with sheep and lambs. They roam the heath or “graze” on their pastures. The shepherds and their flocks are there to help preserve the heath. Make a note of this for a future hike. Supernova over Garching: We cycle left along the county road toward the Zettelhof. At the wayside shrine, a paved dirt road branches off to the right, leading us to the Garching Research Campus. It’s a vast complex that houses the natural sciences and technology center of the Technical University of Munich, the research facility of Ludwig Maximilian University, and the Max Planck Institutes for Physics.
