Tagernsee Lake map<\/p><\/div>\n

For a mountain\u00a0lover, my trip to Munich was rather refreshing. I did quite a bit of walking in the city itself and near River Isar. But, being so close to\u00a0the Alps<\/strong>, I had to get out there too!<\/p>\n

As I had\u00a0little time, I decided to do\u00a0a walking route around one of the\u00a0lakes South of Munich.\u00a0Tegernsee <\/strong>is a natural glacial\u00a0lake<\/a>,\u00a0which is a big holiday destination in Germany. The mix between nature and picturesque\u00a0<\/span>litt<\/span>le p<\/span>laces is we<\/span>l<\/span>l worth a visit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I reckon that this route is quite suitable for people used to walking<\/span>\u00a0in the\u00a0<\/span>London or Britain area. The reason is that it is quite flat as compared to other areas there<\/strong> and very similar to what we get here. Certain areas in the Brecon Beacons can be quite hilly and harder in comparison, though.\u00a0I did around 15 km before it started to rain. <\/span><\/p>\n

I\u00a0set off at Tegernsee<\/strong>, in the middle of the\u00a0lake, to get a boat from Bad Wiessee<\/strong> across the\u00a0lake up to Gmund<\/strong> at the top of the\u00a0lake and back to Tegernsee. I couldn<\/span>\u00b4t quite convey the beauty of the scenery with the pics below, but hope you\u00a0like them!<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, a beach? No! I had\u00a0lunch sitting on a bench in front of this scene. It was quite sunny and very warm for most of the day. I think there are some proper bathing areas around the\u00a0lake.<\/p>\n

Munich area is the richest part of Germany. I could tell not only\u00a0by the number of rich houses and clinics<\/strong> I came across, but also boutiques and art galleries<\/strong>! A bit of black history, many Nazis had houses in this area back in the day.<\/p>\n

Saint Ignatius Church<\/strong> sticks out from quite a distance. It is a Catholic church, and it surprised me to\u00a0learn that most of the population in Germany is actually\u00a0Catholic.<\/p>\n

Note the paintings in the wa<\/strong><\/span>l<\/span><\/strong>l<\/strong>, the same technique that I cou<\/span>ld see in so many types of buildings. For example, in\u00a0the Ho<\/span>ly Spirit Church near Viktua<\/span>lien market in Munich and in other bui<\/span>ldings in this area, such as this one:<\/span><\/p>\n

Church in Ringsee area<\/p><\/div>\n

Despite the rich houses, clinics and hotels in the area, there were a few farms<\/strong> too. The picture above was taken near one of them.<\/p>\n

I took the boat back near this big\u00a0lovely park which reminded me of some of the parks that we have in\u00a0London. Look at the chair – similar to those on the beach?<\/p>\n

The weather was amazing<\/strong> during most of the day. It actually reminded me of the weather here, because it was sunny and warm first. Then, cloudy and windy, then sunny and warm, and finally – the heavens opened! Nevermind, people still sat outside the\u00a0local pub next to the\u00a0lake shore to have a beer!<\/p>\n

Thanks for reading!<\/p>\n
