    Mittlerweile ist die Tour an Wochenenden und Feiertagen in den Sommermonaten gut mit dem Münchner Bergbus (Linie 996) erreichbar. Der Bus startet in Pasing und hält u.a. im Steingaden am Feuerwehrhaus. Weitere Infos findet ihr hier: https://www.alpenverein-muenchen-oberland.de/umwelt/muenchner-bergbus/bergbus-muenchen-pasing-pfronten-wieskirche Infos zum Ticketkauf und Fahrplan hier: https://www.mvv-muenchen.de/mobilitaetsangebote/bergbus/index.html Der Bergbus wurde zwar bereits 2021 ins Leben gerufen, wird jedoch erst seit 2024 offiziell vom MVV betrieben.

    Schöne leichte Wanderung, die sich auch im Herbst nach einem Regentag gut gehen lässt. Die Brettler waren trotz vorausgegangenem Regen gut zu begehen wie auch der restliche Weg. Wir sind ihn von der Wies nach Steingaden gelaufen, der Brettlerweg selbst ist recht kurz, der restliche Weg geht durch einen Mischwald zuerst am Bächlein entlang nach Steingaden. Dort sollte man sich das Welfenmünster und den Klostergarten mit Labyrinth ansehen. Zurück geht's erst ein Stückchen bergauf durch eine alte Allee, vorbei an einer Mariengrotte, dann an der wenig befahrenen Straße nach Litzau u. weiter einen Kiesweg zur Wies. Vorbei an der Landvolkshochschule, hier hat man einen schönen Blick auf die Wieskirche, an alten Linden u. Weiden zurück zum Parkplatz. Die Wieskirche sollte man sich nicht entgehen lassen. Wir sind gut eingekehrt in Steingaden im Gasthaus Graf u. bei der Wieskirche zum Kaffe im Gasthof Schweiger.

    Schöner leichter Weg zur Wieskirche und zurück. Rückweg schattig und etwas schöner. Viele Bänke zum ausruhen.

    Schöne, abwechslungsreiche Rundwanderung mit Ruhebankel auf halber Strecke am See. Der Rückweg erfolgt auf oder neben Teerstraße, auf der mir aber heute kein einziges Fahrzeug begegnet ist.
