Lake Chiemsee - Lake Koenigssee

The Chiemsee circular path is beautifully designed. It leads you to secluded swimming bays as well as to densely populated lakeside resorts. Whilst cycling comfortably along the lakeside, marvel at the stunning views onto the lake. For extensive breaks along the way you come acorss many shady beergardens along the lakeside. You also have the option of shortening part of the daily tours by a special bike-bus (on your own).

Gradually the mountains become higher and higher. The terrain of the cycling route however stays nearly flat. Through the ‚Bergener moor’ at the foot of the Chiemgauer local mountain, called ‚Hochfelln’ (1674m), the path leads you via Bad Adelholzen with its mineral spring to Siegsdorf. From there along the river red Traun onwards into the idyllic Inzell. Special artwork, called ‚Lüftlmalerei’ on the flower-embellished houses are typical for this climatic health-resort.

The route runs narrowly between the mountains via Piding around the Hochstaufen and along the Saalach to Bad Reichenhall. Since 1890 Bad Reichenhall has been an approved health resort and “spa town”. The saline Bad Reichenhall markets its branded salt as “Reichenhaller Markensalz” in all of Germany and beyond. Opportunity for a “wellness day” or for a ride up to the 1600m high “Predigtstuhl” with the world’s oldest and legendary cable car.
