View of Sassau Island and the Herzogstand

Highlight • Viewpoint

The now uninhabited island is a natural forest reserve and nature reserve. Enter is not allowed. But just for the view of the island and the towering Herzogstand behind it worth a break.

June 28, 2025,Walchensee, traumhaft schön

A fantastically beautiful tour! There's so much to see that you don't even want to drive fast, and one break follows another. First a short stretch of the B11, then the transition to the smooth toll road (bikes allowed), then easy-to-ride gravel, a slightly larger hill, and then you're back on the B11, where at 5 p.m., only four cars …

Pleasure cycling at its finest
Always along the water.
You have to climb a (slightly harder climb) because the alternative path on the bank is closed to cyclists.
Magnificent Tölzer Land we will definitely be back.

Very nice route along the lake, but a brief climb in the forest followed by a descent on a gravel surface. The last few kilometers along the B11 with a lot of traffic during the day. We drove in the evening when it was still ok

Actually a very nice bike ride around the Walchensee. On every meter of the tour you have a wonderful view and a wonderful panorama.
But:
The toll road on the south bank is easy to drive (nice asphalt road), but there is too much traffic for a relaxed bike ride. Especially with children, you always have to be careful on …

The Walchensee is uniquely beautiful, but unfortunately you often cycle along the road - especially in the southern part.

A very nice tour around the Walchensee, for me the most beautiful lake in Upper Bavaria. It's almost impossible to cycle, because after 5 meters it's beautiful again. 🥰
Sometimes like in the Caribbean, sometimes like in Norway, it's not for nothing that the lake served as a film set for the film "Flake"

Very nice round. Unfortunately at the beginning only possible on the sidewalk next to the street. Always plan to the right.
