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.

The Long Way to the Terminal "I've never been to New York, I've never been to Hawaii," one might hum softly while standing at the departure board at Munich Airport and reading the names of all the faraway cities. But why wander far away when the unknown is so close? Most residents of the greater Munich area have probably never been to Notzingermoos or Oberdingermoos, and who can say they have ever walked to the airport? This 31-kilometer tour makes it possible. Three stages must be mastered: first, the start to Neufinsing to the Mittlere-Isar Canal, then the main part through sparsely populated, vast moor landscapes with three nature reserves, and finally the noisy finale, walking around half the airport and entering from the north into a world not made for pedestrians. Those who arrive at the largest covered square in Europe after a whole day’s march can enjoy one or two halves of Fliegerquell with a clear conscience at Airbräu before taking the S-Bahn back to their final parking spot in Munich.
