A fantastic outing with my sons. Both the hike and monastery visit were thoroughly enjoyable. The beer was outstanding, and Rich, our guide, encouraged us to eat the "pig knuckle", which we would not have otherwise ordered, and was excellent. Rich was organized, knowledgeable, engaging, and a lot of fun. He even gave us recommendations of restaurants and beer gardens to visit. I highly recommend this activity for anyone who wants to get out of Munich and into the mountains for a day, and still drink some great beer.
