It Should Have Been a Walk in the Park

The Isartal south of Munich is mostly a wildlife preserve (Naturschutzgebiet) with well-developed trails along both banks of the Isar. A walk from Schäftlarn to Wolfratshausen looked to be in the cards.

Start at Schäftlarn Abbey, a working Benedictine monastery founded in the 8th century but redone in Bavarian baroque.

High winds over the past few days made for a lot of damage, slow going and numerous detours

So instead of walking into Wolfratshausen for my reward at a local wirtshaus, I finished at the Ickinger Wehr (dam).
