Start:  Weissenburg Finish:  Roth Distance:  17 Total:  1352 Day 89 was a very nice day of walking until the frustrating end of the day.

Start:  Munich Finish:  Haimhausen Distance:  14 Total:  1267 Today I made my way north from Munich into the rolling farmlands of Bavaria.

Start:  Ebenhausen Finish:  Munich Distance:  13 Total:  1253 I had a leisurely 13 mile stroll into Munich after a nice rest last night at the Klosterladen Schaftlarn monastery near Ebenhausen.
