Lyrical appreciation for the place: Klaus Härtl wrote an “Ode to Peißenberg”. The 77-year-old songwriter and guitar maker feels right at home in the market town.

“The place itself is rather gray, but when you are outside, you are in the most beautiful nature,” he says. The three verses are a homage to a “rough beauty” Peiussenberg – especially in summer, when the reeds grow left and right and turn the path into a kind of tunnel. The nature and the peace there are magnificent.
