Andechs on Ammersee

Last Tuesday was May Day (Der Erste Mai) here in Germany so it was a work and scool holiday for everyone. I think it is equivalent to our Labor Day. So we celebrated by, you guessed it, going to a beer garden. But this one was special.

6 of us took the train down to Ammersee in Herrsching. We played around a bit by the lake before making our way to the Andechs monastery. The monks here have had a brewery going for a thousands years! So they have nearly perfected it. You can only get the beer at the monastery. So it is a special one for sure and is a local favorite!

We definitley stole those mugs.

The hike up to the monastery took us over an hour so the beer at the finish line tasted amazing! The hike was absolutely beautiful! This is one of my favorite things we have done in Bavaria!

The entire monastery was pretty impressive.

It was such a beautiful way to spend a day together with friends! This was another priority on our Munich must see wish list!
