Tree Walks in Munich
Munich has 6 walks that string its ancient trees together on foot, from 0.86 km to 2.19 km, past 24 trees in all. Each one is an afternoon rather than a hike, and every tree on it has a story worth the stop.
The order is ours, worked out from where the trees actually stand; the walking distance is the real one along streets and paths where we have been able to route it, and a straight line between trunks where we have not. Nothing here is a signposted trail.
