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.

Afterward, it was a lovely ride to Berchtesgaden. In Berchtesgaden, there's no bike path, due …

Unfortunately, the bathing area can only be reached by a (very nice and shady) 20-minute walkway. We tried it with the bike, but should have parked it …
