About Taubenberg

From the platform of the Warngau stop, go right until you reach the crossing Bahnhofstraße. Follow this street into the small village. Beyond the intersection with the busy federal road, Taubenbergstraße continues, interestingly consisting of two small parallel lanes. Along the right lane, head towards the church, which is passed counterclockwise with a slight ascent. After crossing the village brook, turn right and continue along the brook following Schulweg. After crossing the brook three more times, the path leads into a road that rises steeply to the right; here turn left onto Austraße. This road branches after another brook crossing: first right and a few meters later left. The road now climbs noticeably and leads into a strip of forest. The paved path ends at a water reservoir, where a small track begins on its left side. Follow this uphill until, upon reaching the ridge, a crossing forest road is met. Turning right on this road, you will soon pass the observation tower and shortly after, slightly descending for the first time, reach St. Christoph chapel. A small lane continues in the same direction to Taubenberghaus, with an option to shorten via the meadows. The path initially loses altitude at Taubenberghaus but ascends again somewhat through the forest. Passing Maroldhof and Kogelkapelle, the path descends once more and, after a combination of curves, reaches open terrain again. With repeatedly nice views, continue downhill past several farms. The descent ends at Westinhof, and the lane enters the forest again. At the immediately following right curve, leave the road straight ahead and continue on a forestry road. This soon curves right as well and descends to a local connecting road. Follow this road downhill for about 150 meters into the Mangfall valley (caution: no separate footpath!), then turn right at the first opportunity. Without crossing the Holzkirchen - Miesbach railway line, pass through the municipal works of Stadtwerke München. Numerous spring intakes are passed at the foot of the slope until the wide road finally crosses the Mangfall river. On the other side of the river, the path follows the Mangfall and eventually passes the confluence of Schlierach into the Mangfall, though this remains out of sight. After a long straight section, another bridge is reached, and Schlierach is crossed. On the other side, turn left and continue along the edge of the forest. At a right curve, the path branches; take the right path and remain in the Mangfall valley. The wide lane continues southwest with only a few gentle curves. Old power line poles occasionally accompany the path, and finally, the end of the water protection area is reached. Watch out at a barrier: shortly after, a footpath branches left, unmarked, leading up onto the plateau. At Gasteighof, a paved lane is reached that continues mostly eastward. After passing a chapel, the road soon branches again. Continue right and past Baumstinglhof to another, this time acute-angled fork. The left lane climbs once more and runs along the forest edge past Aignerhof, situated on a small height. Now descending again, enter the forest and cross a small brook in a terrain hollow. A final climb leads once more to the outskirts of Miesbach. Along the street Auf der Grün, which soon becomes Albert-Schweitzer-Straße, pass the cemetery and shortly after, the senior center. The descent intensifies and the street leads steeply down to Schlierach. Immediately behind the bridge, cross the railway line and turning left, proceed to the nearby, already visible Miesbach station.
