Dear hiker friends,
having published the new international program at the beginning of the year, we now present the program for our excursions in the environs of Munich. It is a wonderful mix of easy, medium and a little bit more difficult hikes and cycling tours.
Here’s the latest club news: at the annual reunion last November Benedikt and Isolde were re-elected co-presidents, Anneliese as accountant and Carola as supervisor. Elke Anspann (Tel.:089-3103475) has taken over the editing of this program and will collect and coordinate all suggestions for walks from now on.
Our new meeting place, restaurant „Ludwig’s“ Heiliggeiststr. 6, next to Viktualienmarkt, has turned out to be a good choice: it is centrally located, and efficiency and quality leave nothing to be desired. So all further reunions and friendly get togethers will take place there.
We are looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones on any of our trips or tours.Elke Anspann, Anneliese Fischer, Isolde Huber and Benedikt Weyerer
