Eschenlohe Alpine landscape

Highlight • Cycleway

The cycle path runs along the Loisach through a beautiful landscape. It is highly recommended to take a tour here. The meadows are used for grazing and haymaking, so the cattle are not always available for a photo. 😉

Panorama route (Oberau – Farchant)

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

"Panorama route", the perfect name for this section. The cycle path is a dream, the view is magnificent, traffic is mostly tractors, all in all a poem.

July 31, 2024,Murnau am Staffelsee

We were in the Höllentalklamm this morning and returned around midday. There were no clouds in the sky yet, so the forecast thunderstorms were still a long way off. So we decided to go on a bike ride to Murnau on the Staffelsee. From there you could take the train back if the thunderstorm came earlier. We rode through Garmisch …

July 30, 2023,Fahrradtour Murnau <-> Garmisch Partenkirchen

The tour (my own BR bike tour) goes from Murnau am Staffelsee along the Loisach to Garmisch Partenkirchen. This tour is to my liking. It goes through nature and there is no traffic noise to be heard (at least on a Sunday morning). There is also a lot to see and the "blue land" as it is called here is …

June 27, 2023,Murnau 🔁 Garmisch-Partenkirchen 🌥⛰️🌿🚴🏽‍♀️

My first tour with a rental bike took me to Garmisch-P. Beautiful paths, mostly along the Loisach on the way there, pleasant temperatures of 18-20 degrees. Also pushed the bike in Garmisch and sometimes rode it without ⚡️ because the battery was weakening a bit 🤨
Since I couldn't find an alternative route for the return trip, I branched off …

Today in Franz Josefs Land Bavaria 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️🍀🚲🚲😀
The weather keeps its promise: From the car park in Garmisch, we followed the current of the Loisach along the river bank via Oberau and Farchant to Eschenlohe. Then continued along the Loisach to Ohlstadt and Murnau. Completely circled the Murnauer Moos again to Eschenlohe. After refreshment at the local butcher's, almost. Went …

August 25, 2022,Fahrradtour von Garmisch nach Ohlstadt und zurück

Today we decided to do another bike tour.
Our destination was Ohlstadt.
From Garmisch about 25km easy.
But first of all, we looked at the spring road in old Garmisch. A small street, which shows the old farmhouses from bygone times very nicely preserved.
After that we made our way. In Farchant we drove to the hiking car park. From …
