The church of St Laurentius is an obvious landmark while approaching Rottach-Egern along the lake-shore |
You soon work out how your walking pace compares with the 'official' one, and adjust accordingly. Bad Wiessee to Rottach-Egern, for example, is given as two hours, but proved considerably shorter for me (at least, it did on the way back, when I knew the direct route).
My round-three game today was against a player from the Kaiserslautern district of Rhineland-Palatinate. He had a Fide of 1824 but a German elo of 1634. I suspect the latter is more accurate - I won in 20 moves.
That gave me time to go for a slightly more ambitious walk before lunch, along Bad Wiessee's Panorama Wanderweg.
The name is a bit of a cheat as for most of the walk any view is obscured by tall pines, which help give a complete silence broken only by the occasional bird chirruping.
This was a great pleasure by itself, but I was eventually rewarded with a panoramic view.
My mobile-phone camera does not do justice to the view of Bad Wiessee from the town's Panorama Wanderweg |
