    Sehr entspannte, leichte Tour durch Wald, Moos und Wiesen. Vor allem bei leichtem Nieselregen zu empfehlen, dann gibt es so gut wie keine Radler im Würmtal und man ist quasi allein unterwegs auf der Route. Immer wieder schön!

    Wunderschöne Wanderung, aber nur solange kein Fahrradwetter ist. Dann ist der Weg durch das Würmtal kein Vergnügen. Und in Starnberg führt der Weg durch ein Militärgelände (siehe Foto). Natürlich kann man da nicht durch. Was soll der Quatsch? Selber nie gelaufen?

    Hinter Gauting bei der Reismühle auf das andere Ufer wechseln! Der schmale Pfad dort direkt am Ufer ist wild und romantisch. Zurück bei der nächsten Brücke ca. 1 km vor dem Gasthaus Mühltahl. Fotos s.u.

    Die Maisinger Schlucht ist ein sehr lohnendes Ausflugsziel und ein wunderbarer Spaziergang, auch im Winter. Ein bisschen schade ist nur, dass es kein Rundweg ist.
