Very nice section of this route on the Würm, through a wonderful landscape. Simply cycle in a relaxed manner and capture the beautiful perspectives of nature. Moderate climbs and smaller descents make this tour an experience.

Several tree trunks, some of which are huge, block the way; you can sometimes jump over them. When wet, the trail is more challenging due to the strong roots.

Very nice section of the route, here you drive directly on the water, if you can, you should plan this route, you will be amazed. My unreserved recommendation.

Tip for "normal cyclists" ride carefully and enjoy nature. Tip for "sporty cyclists and mountain bikers" avoids the path down to the Würm, especially at the weekend or in the afternoon. Drive south from Gauting or from Leutstetten rather up at the top, there are many trails and forest roads that will be much more fun for you.

nice place to take a break on the tour through the Würmtal! In many other areas it is also too narrow to really be able to rest ...
