Tour description

After an overnight stay at Lake Achensee, you cycle around the Karwendel in the north, first on the Via Bavarica Tyrolensis cycle path and then along the riverbed of the Isar. There are also fantastic panoramic views of the Rofan Mountains and the Soiern Group, the wonderful ride along Lake Achensee, swimming opportunities in Lake Sylvenstein and the Canadian feeling along the Isar. At 70 kilometers, the stage is very long and although half of the route looks almost flat, there are still a few meters of elevation gain. But if you set off early from Lake Achensee and allow enough time, you will enjoy this tour to the full.
