Isar - Danube + back Part1

The start and starting point is Altomünster station. (Arrival by car or train on your own responsibility) This well-known recreational area in the Dachau region, north of Munich, welcomes you with Bavarian warmth. First, discover the quaint market town with its two breweries, as well as the Brigitten monastery, before you start the day’s stage.

Through the Altoforst, you begin on the holy Altoweg. Steeply uphill northwards through the forest. You pass the small hamlets of Arnberg and then cross the Weilach valley near Aufhausen. Continuing through the quietest forest and meadow landscapes, you hike upwards through Alberzell to the historical highlight of the day: Oberwittelsbach! Admire the ruins of the demolished castle, the main seat of the Wittelsbach family on the castle square with church and learn its history. Then continue downhill through the Wittelsbacher Forest to Kühbach. Discover the market on a village tour, with town hall, market square, rectory, pond, castle, and brewery!

Enjoy traditional Bavarian cuisine at the Bräustüberl zum Peterhof or the brewery beer garden. There is also one of the best pizzerias in Bavaria here.
