Seniors' trip to Andechs: A day full of culture and enjoyment!

The Lappersdorf market's annual seniors' outing took place on August 28, 2025. The event, led by Christa Wunderer, the third mayor, offered older citizens a welcome opportunity to spend a day full of culture and enjoyment together. Thanks to the support of four volunteers, the trip program was implemented smoothly.

The excursion took the participants to the picturesque Ammersee, where they were able to visit the impressive Andechs Monastery. One of the highlights of the day was a tasty lunch in the monastery inn, which was all about regional cuisine. The offer included half a knuckle with potato salad and a drink, and the guests had plenty of time to explore the pilgrimage church and the monastery shop on their own.

Cultural highlights and shipping

One of the special offers of the seniors' trip was a boat trip across Lake Ammersee, which offered participants a relaxed opportunity to enjoy the surroundings. A visit to the small town of Dießen was also on the program. The positive response from the participants spoke for itself: many were enthusiastic about the organization and the experiences of the day.

The places for the excursion were quickly filled, which shows how great the interest is in such an event. Unfortunately, not all requests could be taken into account as only one Sammüller bus could be provided. The seniors' outing is seen by Markt Lappersdorf as an important sign of appreciation for seniors, especially for those who suffer from mobility restrictions.

Support from volunteers

The organization and support of this type of excursion is carried out on a voluntary basis, which accounts for a large part of its success. The Malteser offers similar programs such as the Cultural Accompaniment Service, which is specifically tailored to the needs of older people. Individual accompaniment and group excursions are available here to enable you to experience art and culture. Volunteers take care of pick-up and return transport and offer company and support during the excursions.

Such a commitment enables seniors not only to take part in cultural highlights, but also to experience social interaction. Those interested have options for contacting us and requesting information about other offerings in the area.

The Lappersdorf market seniors' outing not only illustrates the importance of shared experiences, but also the important role of volunteers in society. Thanks to the commitment of everyone involved, an unforgettable day was organized for the older citizens.
