Long Loop from Freising Through the Hilly Countryside and into the Moos This loop tour requires stamina: In a wide arc with many changes in direction, we explore the hilly countryside and the vast expanses of the Freisinger Moos to the west and southwest of the cathedral city. The route in this case is a carefully planned and extensively researched design for which there are hardly any alternatives aside from paved roads, marshy side paths, and semi-legal trails—because amid the network of state highways, power lines, railroad tracks, and the Moosach River as a natural barrier, there are hardly any pedestrian-friendly crossings. Detours and paved sections are therefore unavoidable here—but as a reward, you’ll be treated to distant views all the way to the Alps, beautiful nature experiences in forests and fields, and, last but not least, the opportunity to enjoy a delightful conclusion to the tour at the famous Weihenstephaner Bräustüberl.

The Isar paths between Marzling and Oberhummel On this tour, we technically cross a flowing body of water nine times: twice the Isar, four times the Moosach, plus the Schleifermoosach, the Angerbach, and the Goldach; and for a full ten kilometers we hike along the bank of the Isar. It's no wonder that under these conditions there are plenty of opportunities to listen to the rushing and splashing of the water, observe birds, and enjoy the beauty of the floodplain forests. The heart of this hike is the perfect, kilometer-long riverside path, which leads on the south side of the Isar into the lonely Hummler Au and thus into the protected Isarauen nature reserve between Hangenham and Moosburg. Only the drone of planes taking off from the nearby airport occasionally reminds us of the existence of the metropolis Munich. Finally, we climb the surprisingly steep hillside edge up to Hangenham and enjoy the panoramic view at the Naturfreundehaus.

Forests, Fields and Moor Meadows in the Hinterland of the Cathedral CityFreising is beautiful – and widely known for the Cathedral Hill, Weihenstephan, and the scenic old town. However, hardly anyone has the old district of Neustift on their radar, which also boasts steep slopes, a noteworthy Rococo church, and a historically grown settlement structure. We start there, immediately diving from the outskirts into the rural hinterland and descend into the Amper valley with its vast moor meadows. A steep ascent leads us back into the picturesque hilly landscape before we walk through the forest to the pilgrimage church Wies and finally back to Neustift. Although you can’t completely escape the symptoms of a region strongly shaped by economic growth and mobility on this tour – busy streets, airplane noises, and overhead lines – there are still plenty of opportunities for nature and cultural experiences that will remain memorable.

This circular hike is suitable for both joggers and families with strollers. The majority of the path is paved. The other part consists of wonderfully maintained trails. The paths run both across open areas with lots of greenery, which is ideal for letting dogs run and play, as well as through forests that provide wind shelter. In the Freising Forest (about three-quarters of the way into the hike), you can follow many different trails. There is a fitness trail for athletes and a learning and adventure trail for both children and adults to discover a lot. Additionally, there is the option to stop by the beer garden at the "Plantage" and watch the children playing on the playground during a break. (Seasonal business - observe opening hours)
Parking is possible and common at the start and end point just after the traffic sign on the roadside.
