By bike through the Gfild: Nature experience between heath, forest, and cultural landscape

On Saturday, September 26, 2026, biologist and area supervisor Tobias Maier will accompany the group from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM on a discovery tour that combines natural knowledge, local history, and active movement comfort.

A landscape with history to touch

The route features Garchinger Heide, Mallertshofer Holz, and Echinger Lohe, three characteristic habitats closely linked to the region's history of use. On barren soils, an open cultural landscape has emerged through grazing, where rare species of plants and animals continue to thrive. Thus, the tour provides a lively view of biodiversity, nature conservation, and the subtle interactions between humans and landscapes.

Exploring with the expertise of an area supervisor

Tobias Maier will explain on-site how the areas have developed over time under human influence, which species are typical for the habitats, and why the heathlands in northern Munich are considered of regional importance. The Garchinger Heide encompasses around 27 hectares, hosts over 200 plant species, and is part of a sensitive network of paths that directs and protects visitors.
