Map of the Miesbach Region:
One of my favorite regions for short motorcycle day trips was the region of Miesbach in upper Bavaria.
Naturally I did my many journeys not only on the main highways shown on the below map, but also on winding picturesce country roads. This enabled me to not only avoid heavy traffic, but
also guided me to the most interesting and exciting out-of-the-way little places.
Close to the Autobahn but hidden
I did similar trips with Elizabeth but by car. If you have some time and do not want to be in the Guinness Book of Record for seeing all Europe in 3 days try it, your efforts will be rewarded.
I forgot the exact directions, but we took a side road in the "Warngau" area to Taubenberg - it was a dirt road - and we dove through forest, up a mountain where we found a little restaurant which offered only a few dishes.
Our "secret" place
However, they were delicious and we met really nice people at this "secret" place. After the meal, we always had to walk for quiet a wile, hoping to burn off the calories.
Before leaving, we always made sure that e have purchased a good supply of home made "Käsesahnetorte", a tort made with real cream and quark.
Usually, we were always one piece short before we arrived home as this was one of Elizabeth's favorites.
The area between Schliersee, Fischbachau and Bayrischzell is called the Vacation Triangle. ("Urlaubsdreieck") This countriside is a chosen area by many people from all over Europe.
Elizabeth needed a "coffee" break
So do many people from Munich. They spend either a day, a long weekend or their entire vacation here.
It only took us an hour to travel from our home to this area and we often took advantage of this. We leisurely drove through the valley of the Leitzach, a creek with fast-running, clean,
clean water. We occasionally stopped, walked around, picked wild berries and listened to the songs of the many birds.
If you are interested in learning paragliding - you're in the right area.
