Eventlocation

Sometimes blindfolded, barefoot or with a magnifying glass, we will wander through the forest. Because there is a lot more to discover here besides trees at any time of year. Have you ever snuggled with a fox skin or taken a treetop walk?
We look forward to an exciting forest adventure tour with you!
Duration: approx. 2.5-3.0 hrs.
Pupils up to 5th/6th grade

Survival | Försterliesl
You're lost, it's getting dark and cold. On this tour you will learn how to spend the night in the mountains without any resources. In small groups you will set up camps for the night and collect plants for a meal. You will learn how to find your way back to civilisation. It's exciting, educational and important!

Duration: approx. 2,5-3,0 h

Studio in the Green | Försterliesl
Being creative means: developing something in your head and creating it with your own hands. Anyone can do that! To get in the mood, we will study colours, shapes and structures of nature. Afterwards we will create sculptures, pictures or water art.
Duration: approx. 2,5-3,0 h

Night hike | Försterliesl
From the activity of the day we go into the silence of dusk and the mysterious night. The world suddenly seems different. The night not only sharpens the senses of the animals, but also our perception. On a night walk we will consciously experience the night and introduce you to the way of life of nocturnal animals. A nature experience you don't have every day!

Duration: approx. 2.0 h

Water explorers wanted | Försterliesl
Whether splashing in a summer-warm lake, skating on a frozen pond or drinking a glass of water from the tap - our lives are closely connected with water. Yet we often know very little about this vital, wet element. What is water actually made of? What lives in streams, lakes or rivers? With landing nets, magnifying glasses and identification sheets, we will get to the bottom of the matter.

Duration: approx. 2.5-3.0 h

Map & Compass | Försterliesl
Theory becomes practice and out into the field!
The children practise reading a map and finding their own route.
Using the compass, determining the points of the compass and aligning the map with the terrain are our tools of the trade that are applied.
The children learn to answer the question: ``Are we still on the right track?
Duration: approx. 2.5-3.0 h

ART & EXPERIMENT WORKSHOP
An artist will work with you to create your motto. You will experiment with colours and different materials. For example, the finished acrylic paint will be split, pasty, glossy, opaque or liquefied for pouring. High-quality, environmentally friendly materials such as lithophone, binder, champagne chalk, thickener, Chinese ink and foils are used. Individual pictures on a primed material carrier of the size 24 cm x 30 cm are interlinked under guidance to form a total work of art.
The result is a creative collaboration.

SHOOTING THE ARCH
Letting go and reaching the target. Picking up and lifting the bow, tensioning the string and releasing the arrow is only a small part of archery. But it is about more: concentration, body awareness, coordination of body and mind, internalising the technique and focusing on the target. You should bring 2 hours of time with you.

Teambuilding | Katharina Brändlein
Individual challenges combined with teamwork lead to joint success. In this way, the community is promoted in a playful way and solution-oriented thinking is taught. Using the latest training and teambuilding methods, Sebastian Jocham will revitalise your team spirit and leave you with a focused and team-oriented outlook. We promise to make your stay an extraordinary experience and to strengthen your group dynamics, productivity and teamwork.

Teambuilding
These modules focus on the development of the individual's personality, social skills and team interaction. However, you will also find building blocks that focus on relaxation, enjoyment and the pleasure of ``spending time together``. The offers under this heading are meant to complement your conference, meeting or seminar. You can continue to work independently with the experience, the thoughts, the interactions or let an impulse you have received take effect and thus take it home with you. The framework I offer is based on my background as a forester and adult educator as well as my interest in culture. My team supports me with larger groups.

Franz Marc art walk through Kochel am See
Go in search of traces and learn more about the life and work of Franz Marc and the artists' group ``Blauer Reiter`` in Kochel am See. Whether on one of the guided walks with the artist Silke Lühr or individually. Let the original locations that inspired Franz Marc to paint his colourful pictures have an effect on you. You will gain insights into the artist's life and be in nature at the same time! The perfect combination! Tip: In addition to the signs placed on site, you can get additional information on the 10 stations with the free smartphone app as an audio guide.

Just a 3-minute walk from our hostel, a mini golf course consisting of 18 holes in the green awaits you! Experience a varied and exciting game with various obstacles and challenges. Clubs and balls can be rented there and a snack for in-between can be purchased in the associated kiosk. The beer garden is a great place to end the day with delicious ice cream, fragrant coffee and delicious cake!

Franz Marc Museum
Experience the art of the ``Blaue Reiter`` where the artists lived and worked. In a modern museum building high above Lake Kochel, an outstanding collection of German Expressionism and post-war abstraction awaits you. The art of Franz Marc, who gave the museum its name, takes centre stage without being the central or exclusive theme of the museum. Sculptures by Per Kirkeby, Tony Cragg, Alf Lechner and Horst Antes in the museum park round off this art experience against the impressive backdrop of the Bavarian foothills of the Alps.

Glentleiten Open-Air Museum
Experience the largest open-air museum in southern Bavaria! Over 60 originally preserved buildings make the everyday rural life of the people of Upper Bavaria tangible in the Glentleiten Open-Air Museum. They were removed from their original locations and rebuilt on the museum grounds. With their furnishings and the traces of past generations, they tell their own story and that of their former inhabitants. The working world, customs and traditions, but also architecture with its regional differences can be experienced at the Glentleiten.

Museum Penzberg - Campendonk Collection
In 1911, at the age of 21, Campendonk came from the Rhineland to Upper Bavaria at the invitation of Marc and Kandinsky and became the youngest member of the artist community ``Der Blaue Reiter``. In his search for his own motifs, he was impressed by the mining town of Penzberg with its special colony houses, winding towers and chimneys. The museum houses the largest collection of works by Heinrich Campendonk in the world. The museum's twin building, which reopened in 2016, has become an attraction in the townscape with its lively dark clinker brick façade.

Benediktbeuern Monastery
The Salesians of Don Bosco have been working in the Benedictine monastery since 1930. They are a Catholic religious order dedicated to helping young people in the spirit of their founder, Johannes Bosco (1815-1888). Discover part of the monastery during the day: The former abbey church and today's parish church of St Benedict, the Anastasia Chapel vestibule, the Gothic cloister dating from 1493 with Gothic hall and Baroque chapter house, an exhibition about the monastery in the former wine cellar in the cloister. Other areas of the monastery can be visited on a guided tour.

Murnau Castle Museum
The Murnau Castle Museum houses a permanent exhibition centred on the works of Gabriele Münter as well as works by the artists of the ``Neue Künstlervereinigung München`` and the ``Blaue Reiter``. More than 80 paintings, drawings and graphics from the period between 1902 and 1962 are on display. Also worth seeing is the only permanent documentation on the life and work of the writer Ödön von Horváth, who lived in Murnau between 1923 and 1933. In addition, special exhibitions are held in the castle museum from time to time.

Fraunhofer Glassworks and Museum
The famous optician Joseph von Fraunhofer (1787-1826) achieved his pioneering successes in Benediktbeuern: the development of streak-free flint glass and the discovery of the ``Fraunhofer lines``, dark lines in the solar spectrum named after him. His former workplace, the glassworks in the buildings of the monastery, which was secularised in 1803, now houses a museum. The exhibition in the historic glassworks shows two large melting furnaces with stirrers for glass production, display panels as well as tools for glass and metal processing, optical instruments and much more.

Herbal Experience Park
The Herbal Experience Park with its diverse, signposted wealth of plants and its experience zones invites young and old to stroll and linger with free access. A variety of guided tours are offered for groups and individuals. Experience the diversity of wild and garden plants, herbs, flowers, shrubs and trees in a varied guided tour between information, magic, relaxation and sensing with all your senses. In one of the most beautiful regions in Upper Bavaria, in the Tölzer Land, you can immerse yourself in the herb garden of Bad Heilbrunn.

Herbal tour
What at first glance looks like a ``conventional`` lush meadow with a magnificent mountain panorama - not necessarily a rarity in our region - turns out on closer inspection to be a world all of its own, a world of wild herbs. These healing little plants really do grow everywhere in our region and yet usually remain unnoticed by the wayside. Experience a varied herb tour in the Loisach-Kochelsee moor and discover our native herbs together with herbalist Angelika Spöri.

Fishing at Lake Kochel
Lake Kochelsee is only a few minutes' walk from our hostel. The southern shore is bordered by a steep rock face. The northern shore runs flat into a reed belt. With its more than 14 km of shoreline, it offers excellent fishing. This applies to the whitefish fisherman, the carp lover or the twilight fisherman for eel, rudd and tench. The predatory fish fans also get their money's worth at the specially designated flasher stretch on the south bank.

Diving in Walchensee
Walchensee with its clear, deep and fish-rich water is embedded in a magnificent mountain landscape in a landscape conservation area. Mysterious myths, from the ``giant whale`` at the bottom of the lake to the sunken gold treasure of the Benediktbeuern monastery, make Walchensee particularly interesting. At 192 metres, Walchensee is one of the deepest lakes in Bavaria. Apart from the temporary diving prohibitions, this diving area offers up to 13 different sites. The shores, which are accessible almost everywhere, offer shallowly sloping sandy beaches, plant regions, rocky steep walls, scree slopes, break-off edges and overhangs.

Stand Up Paddling at Lake Kochel and Lake Walchen
A board, a paddle and water - by now you don't need any more ingredients for a day on the water. What's more, stand up paddling (SUP) is easy to learn and suitable for everyone, no matter how old or fit you are - as long as you can swim. Because that is a prerequisite for everyone to be able to set off with board and paddle. Relaxed on the board, gliding across the water, paddle in hand, gaze wandering into the distance - it's not for nothing that SUP has grown from a leisure trend to an established water sport. Seeing the natural scenery in a different way, standing in the middle of the water, is probably one of the greatest attractions.

Bodensee-Königssee-Cyclingway in the Tölzer Land
On the saddle, get set, go! Discover the Bavarian Alps on two wheels now and explore top highlights of the Allgäu and Upper Bavaria regions. Experience a section of the ``Bodensee-Königssee-Radweg`` in the Tölzer Land: from Schlehdorf to the Tölzer Land, on the trail of the Jakobweg through the idyllic Kochelsee-Loisach moor to Benediktbeuern, on via Bichl to the tranquil spa town of Bad Heilbrunn, further below the Blomberg towards Bad Tölz... Enjoy cycling in the picturesque foothills of the Alps with enchanting views.

Walchensee round tour for pleasure cyclists
Great round tour around Walchensee, approx. 10 km away. The round tour starts in the village of Walchensee and leads around the Zwergern peninsula, past the Klösterl to Einsiedl, along the lakeside roads and paths of the south, east and west shores with views of the lake, the Herzogstand and Jochberg. And finally, in Walchensee, you can visit the popular film village ``FLAKE``, which is located directly on the lakeshore. Tip: In Walchensee, the Herzogstand cable car also takes you up the mountain in just 4 minutes. The view from the top is breathtaking!

Round trip in the Loisach-Kochelseemoor
The round trip in the Loisach-Kochelseemoor is an easy bike tour with a flat course through the beautiful moor landscape between Schlehdorf and Kochel am See. Discover the unique flora and fauna along the Triftkanal, which runs dead straight through the moor. The canal connects two arms of the Loisach and was used by rafters in earlier times. Tip: Pack your swimming things - the Eichsee is a popular bathing lake for young and old on hot summer days. Off into the cool water!

Herzogstand
The Herzogstand is a versatile hiking area that offers a range of tours with varying degrees of difficulty. The Herzogstand cable car takes you from the valley station to the Fahrenberg in just a few minutes. From there, a path leads to the Herzogstand mountain inn. The path is flat, easy to master and offers beautiful views of the surrounding landscape. The ridge walk from the Herzogstand to the Heimgarten is an unforgettable experience for hikers who are sure-footed and free from vertigo. If you want to take it easier, we recommend the panoramic nature trail.

Lainbach waterfall circular trail
Beautiful circular trail through the forest to the waterfall. The trail of approx. 6 km and ascents totalling about 210 metres in altitude offer the hiker a varied tour. The loop leads from the centre of the village past the Schmied-von-Kochel monument to the edge of the forest. The path leads over a longer stretch and steps through the shady mountain forest along the stream to the Lainbach waterfall. At this idyllic resting point it is worthwhile to linger and listen to the splashing and rushing of the water. Before heading downhill, enjoy the view of the Herzogstand, Heimgarten, Kochelsee and the Loisach-Kochelsee moor.

Tobogganing on the Blomberg
Over 2 km of tobogganing fun! The fast track leads from the middle station through the idyllic snow-covered mountain forest to the valley station. The big night tobogganing event takes place on Saturdays. By the way, the toboggans can be rented on site. If you prefer to take it easy, you can only descend to the middle station and take the chairlift back to the top station, where the tobogganing fun can start all over again. The official toboggan run is groomed by a snowcat, several times a day if necessary. A nice place to stop for refreshments is the Blomberghaus at the top station.

Summer toboggan run on the Blomberg
One of the longest and most beautiful summer toboggan runs in Europe can be found on the Blomberg. At almost 1300 metres in length, the track winds through idyllic mountain forest and lush green alpine meadows. 41 chicanes and 17 steep curves provide plenty of fun and variety. You can set your own pace. Children as young as 8 can toboggan on their own. Children under 8 ride on their parents' laps. The ascent to the start at the middle station is comfortable with the double chairlift or on foot via the hiking trail.

The mountain forest calls!
Upper Bavaria from above! Grandiose view from Lake Starnberg over Munich to the edge of the Alps into the Isar Valley and far into the Karwendel! 9 adventure courses await their conquerors! Of these, 7 courses are suitable for children aged 6 and over. For children under 1.40 m tall, two accompanying persons must climb along with them and operate the children's own safety devices. Also great for groups: Due to its unique location on the mountain, the Blomberg Climbing Forest offers the opportunity to create new play spaces with pupils and trainees and to actively design learning spaces together.

Fairytale Forest in Wolfratshausen
Numerous attractions, breathtaking rides and extraordinary play and climbing facilities ensure that a trip to this family idyll is an unforgettable experience for parents and children alike.

Food and drink are also well catered for here. Tip: Birthday children up to 14 years of age have free admission. Ideal for the next birthday!

Windsurfing at Walchensee
Without exaggerating, it is fair to say that the Walchensee is one of the most beautiful surfing areas in Germany. Not necessarily in terms of wind strength, but in terms of its picturesque setting. Walchensee is framed by Jochberg, Herzogstand and the Karwendel mountains. It lies at 802m above sea level and is correspondingly cold, but also very clear. Remnants of snow still lie on the Karwendel Mountains well into early summer, making surfing here an unforgettable experience.

FLAKE`` film set village at Lake Walchensee
The original film set village from the movie ``Wickie und die starken Männer`` can be visited in Walchensee. The municipality of Kochel am See has preserved part of the film set and rebuilt it in Walchensee. The original Viking ship from the filming has also been preserved and lies at anchor in Niedernacher Bucht on the southern shore of Walchensee during the summer months. Guided tours of ``FLAKE`` take place weekly during the summer months. Special tours are possible for groups.

he home of the rescued animals
In one of the most beautiful places in Upper Bavaria, directly on the Osterseen lakes, not far from Munich, Starnberg or Garmisch-Partenkirchen, lies Gut Aiderbichl Iffeldorf, an ideal destination for the whole family. Experience unforgettable moments with over 300 rescued animals, including many cats, dogs, horses, donkeys, cattle, as well as the legendary camel lady Franziska.
