Very easy to ride on a gravel bike. But it should also be possible on a road bike. The scenery is beautiful!

A beautiful cycle path in the countryside. This section is also easily accessible on a hybrid bike. For other sections of the Isar Cycle Path, I would have liked to have brought my mountain bike.
