WOLFRATSHAUSEN 574M

Wolfratshausen sits at the confluence of the Isar and Loisach rivers and has been a significant market town since the 13th century.

It has all the key services including a railway station. Most German walkers stay at the Gasthof Humpbräu (www.humplbraeu.de, tel 49 8171 483290) near the church on the west bank of the Isar. Apparently Ludwig Grassler, designer of the original Munich to Venice route in 1974, now lives in Wolfratshausen and can sometimes be found there welcoming walkers. Also good, and very comfortable, is the Hotel Isartaler Hof (breakfast only, www.hotel-isartaler-hof.de, tel 49 8171 23 88 122) located to the east of the train station.

There are plenty of places to buy provisions in Wolfratshausen.RoutefindingThe ITV waymarks provide useful reminders that the right route is being followed although again you need to watch out for cycle route signs that at times, would take you in the wrong direction.

Another day and another walk along the River Isar. The highlight is a particularly beautiful stretch, halfway along, where the route climbs above the river and looks down on it through ancient beech and pine.
