The Long Way through the Ebersberg Forest On this interesting tour from Poing to Ebersberg, we encounter three different landscapes, as we first hike through the eastern Munich foothills to Anzing, then through the vast Ebersberg Forest, and finally over the moraine hill ridge to Ebersberg and thus into the Alpine foothills. The centerpiece of the hike is the shady passage through the Ebersberg Forest, which, with its long trail sections, the opportunity to observe wild boars and deer, as well as the stop at the St. Hubertus Forest House, is quite entertaining and reaches its highlight with the Alpine view from the observation tower.

Ebersberger Forest, Egglburger Lake and Ludwigshöhe In the heart of the Ebersberg region, the landscape is shaped by glacial moraine hills, the 90 km² large Ebersberger Forest, small farming villages – such as Forstseeon with the Perschthof dating back to 1328 – and the Egglburger Lake, where the St. Michael Church overlooks the southern shore. The highlight, quite literally, is the 35 m high observation tower on Ludwigshöhe, built over 100 years ago, which offers a magnificent panoramic view. With so many sights, it is no wonder that the circular hike from Kirchseeon to Ebersberg and back is one of the few routes around Munich that is marked and signposted as a hiking trail.
