On Sissi’s Tracks Through Bavaria
Sissi, later Empress Elisabeth of Austria, was the daughter of Duke Maximilian in Bavaria and his wife Ludovica. She was born in Munich, where her family owned a city palace on Ludwigstrasse. However, Sissi spent much of her youth in the castles the family owned in the countryside. Possenhofen on Lake Starnberg or Unterwittelsbach Palace near Aichach, not far from Augsburg. Her father had little interest in the affairs of government of the Wittelsbach dynasty. He preferred to roam the inns of Bavaria with his zither and entertain the inn guests. He took his family with him to his country castles.

For a short hike (approx. 1.5 kilometers) at the end of the day, the Wolfsschlucht (Wolf Gorge) in the Starzenbach Valley is a good choice. It is part of the Empress Elisabeth circular hiking trail near Possenhofen.
