We rent electric city bikes to ride around the Ammergau Alps Nature Park. This is Kofel Peak, which we can see the other side from our dining room window in Unterammergau.Whetstones for grinding mills were quarried and crafted in Unterammergau from this limestone. We are enjoying an especially nice day.The path leads us to what were royal hunting grounds and Bavarian King Ludwig II ‘s Linderhof Palace.Of course we needed to stop for coffee to contemplate the beauty of the gardens.The village of Graswang on the Linder river, a tributary to the Ammer – looks like a peaceful place to stop……Nice – A picnic bench to have our lunch.The route is not all paved but is level and easy to bike.Our next destination is Ettal, and the Benidictine Monastery.What a location for a beer garden! The monks at Ettal Abbey, established in 1330, have been brewing beer since 1609.
