Along the Amper to the famous forest beer gardenMariabrunn is one of those special places where idyllic nature combines with long traditions, physical pleasures, and a spiritual dimension to create a complete experience. Most visitors arrive on two or four wheels to taste a freshly tapped Mariabrunner Dunkel in the forest beer garden, but it tastes even better to the hiker who walks up from the Amper valley. In the shade of chestnut trees and when visiting the pilgrimage chapel, you can trace the stories of the place, which tell of a miraculous spring discovered in 1662, many healings, and prominent visitors.
