The pilgrimage church of St. Coloman is located in a fantastically beautiful scenic spot high above the Tachinger See. Unfortunately, I could not personally view the Gothic altar due to the limited opening hours, but that's how it is sometimes. 😄 Beautiful seating areas can be found in front of the church under cherry trees.

The cycle path along the Achen dam is not as crowded as the Chiemsee cycle path, which is why it is my favorite for cycling tours.

The cycle path along the Traun is wonderful and shady. Next to the river, there are always beautiful buildings, like Schloss Pertenstein, or structures, like bridges, to see. There are also enough resting places.
