Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Fuel stop near Moosinning
North-east of Munich, the land flattens into a wide plain of fields, drainage ditches and scattered villages. This is the Erdinger Moos, once a vast marsh, drained over the past two centuries and now home to farms, gravel pits and, a few kilometres away, Munich's international airport. Moosinning is one of the villages on its edge, quiet and practical, with a church, a few farms and modern housing.

German Alpine Road East is where the day begins. Next is Munich / Bavarian Alps return.
2. Schrobenhausen, on the way back
In spring, the sandy fields around Schrobenhausen are covered with long, ridged rows under black plastic, and from April to June the whole region revolves around a single vegetable: white asparagus. Schrobenhausener Spargel is among the best-known asparagus in Germany, protected by an origin designation, and the town even has a museum devoted to it. If you are passing in season, the restaurants serve it in every possible form, classically with boiled potatoes, ham and hollandaise sauce.

3. Food stop in Prittriching
Prittriching lies on the Lechfeld, the broad gravel plain that the River Lech built as it flowed north from the Alps towards the Danube. The village is small and agricultural, with a church, farms and a few modern houses, and the countryside around it is flat and open, given over to fields of maize, wheat and potatoes. It is a quiet place with a long view in every direction.
