    Leichte Tour durch Laubwald, großenteils auf geteertem Fuß/Radweg. Der Biergarten des Evangelischen Handwerkervereins in Gräfelfing ist nett und hat ein interessantes alkoholfreies Bier (s. Foto)

    Schöne Strecke. Aber an mehreren Stellen leider durch Tore und Zäune versperrt, die man umlaufen muss.

    Habe die Tour von Pasing aus gemacht und war sehr schön. Nur teilweise recht lange Strecken auf Straßen - ist aber auch dem Verlauf der Würm geschuldet. Es ist natürlich auch möglich die Strecke zurück mit der Bahn zu fahren.
