Cycle path at the Haiderhof

Highlight • Cycleway

It's mostly hard gravel, but it's still easy to drive. Cars, yes, but rarely.

The state border should be approached with some caution.

The bike path on the Saalach is just fantastic. On the one hand always the great view to the Predigtstuhl and on the other side of the Zwiesel and Hochstaufen

A tough climb but one that is rewarded with a wonderful view.

Why ride in a warm 18 degrees when you can ride in a cool 3 degrees? 🤦‍♂️😂
The trail around the Reiter Alpe is worth the trip, even if it's quite challenging due to the elevation gain. And my friend, the headwind was also there from Unken onwards. But as always, a great tour and a stunning landscape.
