Bestselling female authors – literary walk by Dr. Ingvild Richardsen

The walk goes from the Hedwig Courths-Mahler park (1) on to Schwaighofstraße 47 (2). Courths-Mahler's former residence is clearly visible on the slope above the Prinzenkapelle. Then to the family grave at Tegernsee cemetery (3) on Seestraße 15. Afterwards, you can continue by boat (get off at Kurpark), bus (get off at Seeforum), or on foot to Rottach-Egern to the municipal cemetery (4) at Kißlingerstraße 41, where Friede Birkner is buried. Those still interested can then walk via Karl-Theodor-Straße to Birknerweg (5), where her house once stood.

The waypoints present the stations of this Tegernsee LiteraTour in order of travel. Behind each station is a story or interesting facts on the topic.
