A short but wonderful hike through Vagen along the Goldbacherl. The Goldbach, originally the "Mühlbach," was a "source of money" for the businesses that were once established along it. Like pearls on a string, mills lined up along its course.

Enjoyable forest and stream hike near Glonn Southeast of Munich, well hidden in the triangle between Aying, Glonn, and Feldkirchen, lies the Kupferbachtal – a flat moor area formed at the end of the last Ice Age, preserved in a comparatively original state. The described circular hike from Unterlaus initially leads as a relaxed forest walk to Frauenreuth, whose name already suggests that the small farming village was a significant Marian pilgrimage site for centuries. Numerous votive tablets from the 17th century can be seen in the Church of the Assumption of Mary. Afterwards, the Kupferbach stream guides the way: first through idyllic meadows near Reisenthal, then along a sometimes wild forest path along the nature reserve characterized by dense reed growth.

The Way of the Cross with the Alpine Panorama The path up to Kleinhöhenrain is one of the most beautiful panoramic routes that the Munich surrounding area has to offer, and at least in parts, it is also one of only a few truly "single-track" hiking trails. After a leisurely stroll through Bruckmühl and Kirchdorf, the actual tour begins at Schloss Maxhofen: From there, the path designated as the Way of the Cross and at the same time marked as a nature trail "Trail of the Senses" leads to Kleinhöhenrain, offering magnificent views of the mountains and reaching its highlight at the pilgrimage church of St. Bartholomäus and the adjacent guesthouse. This tour is worthwhile alone because of the route and the charming destination, but it only reveals its full beauty with a clear view of the Alps, which is why it is best to undertake it on a clear, sunny day — gladly also in winter during föhn conditions.
