Outside the modest, suburban-style house was a stream and some happy-looking ducks. The lady answering at the house, Mrs. Kohler, seemed surprised to see visitors. She did not speak English, requiring us to communicate as best we could in German. Mrs. Kohler showed us a room which was quite nice, so we accepted. Having secured lodgings for the night, we backtracked somewhat for a trip to Andechs monastery ( http://www.andechs.de/ ). The back roads took us through some pretty countryside and by a lake. The hilltop monastery is famous for its beer and cheeses. I had the hax'n (pig's knuckle), which we shared along with a pretzel and some cheese.
