Hüttentour

Collection by Martin Donat

Mal eben schnell ein Abenteuer erleben. Die Zeit effektiv nutzen und trotzdem mal komplett abschalten. Ich war eh grad in Süddeutschland und dachte mir: Warum nicht das Bike schnappen und kurz in die Alpen radeln? Daraus wurde dann diese Tour inklusive Übernachtung auf der Albert-Link-Hütte. Wer’s nachmachen will: Von Münschen kommt man mit dem Zug super einfach nach Ruhpolding. Die Tour endet wieder in München. Das Gravelbike war für mich eine gute Wahl, ein Mountainbike ist aber auch gut aufgehoben, sofern man nicht davor zurückschreckt, damit auch mal über Asphalt zu fahren. Rund 100 Kilometer am Tag klingt erstmal nicht viel, die vielen Höhenmeter hauen aber ganz schön rein. Also lieber entspannt planen und dafür mehr Zeit zum Genießen haben.

The tour starts very gently in Ruhpolding. Once warm, the first mountain is coming and some are waiting for you! Partly it is powerful steep, I had with my loaded Gravelbike and 1x11 drive partially no chance and had to push. The ground is a nice mix of gravel and asphalt.At about 24.8 km there was a small planning error: The trail ended in front of a fence, so I had to reverse (see dangling in the tracking). A short time later I landed again on the original track. Here a partly violent singletrack awaited me, which was really too much of a good thing with the Gravelbike. Even with the mountain bike, good driving skills are needed here. Apart from that, the tour does not make any special demands on the driving technique.By the way, that was my first overnight trip on a DAV mountain hut. I have on my webpage to times a few experiences and tips collected: lifecyclemag.de/berghuetten-tipps.

Work before pleasure. At the beginning, it is very steep and uphill for quite a long time. The highlight is the Wallberg, from where you usually have a great view. It may be full at weekends and I did not have the impression that cyclists are among the most beloved phenomena here. Would I drive the tour again, I would omit the Wallberg and thus choose another down to Tegernsee. On the other hand, I really enjoyed the drive along the Mangfall. By the way, there are various options: If you are in the mood for more trails, you will also find something here.
