For the vacation at home we have created a bike tour through the district. The "Tour de Landkreis" is 141 kilometers long, divided into six stages. Today: Feldkirchen to Unterhaching.
District - No, we won't reveal the exact addresses, but this third stage of the “Tour de Landkreis” leads partly directly or only a few meters past the domiciles of well-known politicians. Whether the SPD members of the state parliament Peter Paul Gantzer (Haar) and Natascha Kohnen (Neubiberg), Minister of Social Affairs Kerstin Schreyer (Unterhaching), the CSU member of the Bundestag Florian Hahn (Solalinden) or former district councilor Johanna Rumschöttel (Neubiberg) - they all live along this 19.9 Kilometer stage from Feldkirchen to Unterhaching.
After starting at Feldkirchen train station, we slowly roll south along Sonnenstrasse to the “Flugwerk”, a small brewery with an inn and beer garden - if you haven't strengthened yourself, you can make your first stop here.

Otherwise, head west to the B 471 and along this on the bike path to the south with a view of the mountains around Ottendichl. Vis-a-vis from the main entrance of the kbo-Klinikum Haar is a drinking water fountain, perfect for filling up the water bottle, and from here we now permanently follow the yellow cycle path signs to Neubiberg and Keferloh. Via the sports and leisure park you go to a short, somewhat more urban section into the Jagdfeld, where the cycle route branches off to the left at a mailbox on the southern tip of the Jagdfeldring, a little sub-mediated.
Now it is getting closer to nature again: on dirt roads to Gut Keferloh with beer garden, and on the further way to Solalinden the next rest stops will soon follow, and there is also a beautiful forest playground for at the corner of Keferloher-Markt- and Andreas-Wagner-Straße Children.

When crossing Solalinden, the “double pack” at Kapellenplatz deserves attention: the water tower and village chapel stand opposite each other like siblings. Particularly eye-catching is the wooden tower, in which the bell has been operated with a cable since the renovation in 1902 until today.
The route now runs over the Oedenstockacher and Neubiberger Strasse into the residential area. Whereby the (signposted) cycle path to the landscape park and environmental garden deliberately leads to traffic-calmed side streets where cycling is a pleasure.

In the Neubiberg environmental garden, directly behind the railroad crossing, all kinds of animals can be observed and sometimes even petted: chickens, ducks, sheep, goats and horses are kept like on an original farm. Orchards, cottage gardens, rock gardens, herb spirals and perennial gardens provide suggestions for the natural design of gardens.
Nature of a different kind is conveyed by the Hachinger Tal landscape park, on whose former airport runway we pedal from Neubiberg to Unterhaching. The US armed forces once stationed their troops and planes on the "Neubiberg Airfield", later - until 1998 - the Bavarian police helicopter squadron used the airfield. Since 2001, the 126 hectare area has been gradually converted into a landscape park with an unparalleled biodiversity of butterflies and birds; Relics from the military past can always be tracked down to the right and left of the old airport runway. The third stage comes to an end at the S-Bahn station with a short tour through Unterhaching, of course past the district editorial office of Münchner Merkur.
