As one of the few hiking guides, this book brings together all the worthwhile tours through the Blue Land. These include, in the west, Staffelsee, Riegsee, and the Murnauer Moos, as well as in the east, the Loisach-Kochelsee Moor with the Benediktbeuern Monastery. In the old monastery land, sun and clouds play their game with colors. The warm brown of the moor landscapes against the strong blue of the mountains shrouded in mist has already lured the painters of the Blue Rider into this rural seclusion. Here, they created world-class works and gave the region its name: the Blue Land. The municipalities of Kochel, Murnau, and Penzberg have erected a worthy monument to them with excellent museums. We accompany a school class to the Franz Marc Museum in Kochel, follow the mysterious traces of the blacksmith of Kochel, and reach Walchensee via the historically significant Kesselbergstrasse. Its history can be extensively admired in the Walchensee Museum by Friedhelm Oriwol. Through the plays of Ödön von Horváth, we dive into the history of the market town of Murnau am Staffelsee, get to know D'Mooshex, and learn what aurochs were doing on the Staffelsee island of Wörth. Whether by e-bike, touring bike, or mountain bike, cyclists will find ideal conditions in the land between Benediktbeuern and Staffelsee. Far from the hustle and bustle of the city, they can still find peace in magnificent nature. Good inns along the way also ensure that culinary delights are not neglected. - With detailed route descriptions and an Alpine panorama - Numerous color photos and an overview map - Insider tips for culinary pleasures - Hidden swimming spots and extraordinary sights.
