Königsseer Ache

Highlight • River

Super nice bike path along the Königsseer Ache. Away from the busy road, the path leads through the forest and even if it is not asphalted, you can drive on it without any problems.

You can drive all the way around the Saalachsee. On one side there is asphalt, on the other gravel. But it's all easy to drive.

Sightseeing tour in Berchtesgadener Land, very nice round incl. parish church of San Sebastian. The tour had crisp climbs and a descent in a class of its own☝️, the German Alenstrasse. At speeds that should not be ridden with a bicycle🫣😄🤗

Today we drove to Bad Reichenhall by car and bike. It was clear to me: I had to see where the lovely and experienced Sonja and her donkeys were cycling. So I immediately saved her route and off we went. It was such a lovely Easter ride! Shortly after setting off, I was already reaching my limits after a long …

What wouldn't you do to escape the long-lasting GRAY 🌫️☁️😶‍🌫️ and the weather that is slowly getting to you...

... you simply set off or flee to the BGL in Bad Reichenhall and look for the lost sun🌞.

Great mountain panorama round with some treats. Many thanks to Gisi&Poldi ❤️👍.
We really enjoyed this tour and finished it with a very good dinner at Wieninger zur alten Post in Teisendorf.
Attention: As the Gebirgsjägerstrasse is closed after the Jägerkaserne, we had to go down via the Soleitenweg (very steep - we pushed our bikes!) to Ramsauer Straße.

Due to technical problems, the tour could not be completed until late. The goal has been reached, but the tour takes us back a bit...

May 14, 2025,Mit E-Bike, per Pedes, zu Wasser. Abwechslung pur von Bayerisch Gmain aus.

Another great tour with highlights like Ramsau and Königssee.
Of course, the 12 kilometers I sailed on Königssee must be deducted from the displayed distance.
