Rottach-Egern to Riederstein. A steep ascent rewards with elevated views of the lakeside parts of Rottach-Egern (📷1). The 150m tall spur of the Riederstein provides a solid yet petite foundation at 1,207m for the white chapel that is readily seen from the town below (📷2). Riedersteinkapelle itself at ~5x2m is roughly the footprint of our #camperVan; the building evolved through wood into stone from c. 1841 to 1864 (📷3). From the chapel we enjoyed panoramic views over Tegernsee (the lake; the town is hidden) & into the Weißach Valley, with the distinctive peak of Leonhardstein recognisable above Kreuth (📷4). 2.8km/ 1h one way; we continued on towards Baumgartenschneid & Schliersee.
