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.

What a beautiful landscape that is 🤔. This tour started in Markschellenberg, a small town with around 1,770 inhabitants. From here we drove along the Berchtesgadener Ache towards Berchtesgaden, where we visited the Berchtesgaden salt mine, where Bad Reichenhall salt has been produced for over 500 years. A visit is definitely worth it 👍. We then drove on to Königssee …

On the Ettenberg at the church right down is definitely only for hikers! Unfortunately, Komoot has issued an Alpine trail as a cycle route. We were a bit naive and stupid and had to push the bikes down with effort. So it's better to continue on the road by bike and then back to the ball mill by the water!
