Nagelfluhkette – Immenstadt
A string of more than a dozen mountain peaks is connected by a fantastic, challenging ridge-line trail and forms the Nagelfluhkette that crosses the heart of the Allgäuer Alpen. My route takes on the first eight mountain tops, aided by a chairlift for the initial ascent, before looping back to the starting point through the…

Ebersberger Forst Trail – Kirchseeon to Poing
A half-marathon of uninterrupted flow trails make this one-way track one of the best trail-running experiences around Munich. The run is never boring as it meanders up and down lightly technical trails along a ridge line. After an optional climb up to a view tower, the trail gets racy with a constant slight downhill slope…

On the other hand, the trails are highly technical and dangerously exposed in places featuring quite a few steep climbs. For…

Kirchseeon to Aying via historic train tracks and creeks
At near 30km this one-way route is on the longer side, taking you through some lesser-known jewels south of Munich along a variety of roads, paths, trails and cross country. It felt quite tough despite the gently rolling hill country, because the trail almost vanishes in places – the famous Aying brewery beer garden is…
