Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Munich
Munich is closer to the Alps than any other German city of its size, and on a clear day with a warm southerly wind called the Föhn, the mountains seem to sit at the end of the street. The wind brings a sharp clarity and headaches for the sensitive, and the locals are used to both. The city lies on the Isar, a river that once ran milky green with glacial water and is now lined with gravel banks where people sunbathe, barbecue and swim in summer. Munich's centre is compact and cheerful, with the twin onion-domed towers of the Frauenkirche, the Rathaus on Marienplatz with its mechanical clock figures, and the Viktualienmarkt for food.
2. Tegernsee
Tegernsee is a lake town in the Bavarian foothills, at the eastern edge of the Tegernsee valley, with the lake in front and steep, forested mountains behind. The Benedictine monastery that gave the place its name was founded in the eighth century, and its church and cloister still dominate the shore, though the buildings are now partly a secondary school and partly a brewery tavern, the Bräustüberl, where locals and visitors share long tables and big pretzels in the courtyard. It is a lively place on a sunny afternoon, with a crowd of beer drinkers, cyclists and bikers.
