Panorama route (Oberau – Farchant)

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

"Panorama route", the perfect name for this section. The cycle path is a dream, the view is magnificent, traffic is mostly tractors, all in all a poem.

Eschenlohe Alpine landscape

Highlight • Cycleway

The cycle path runs along the Loisach through a beautiful landscape. It is highly recommended to take a tour here. The meadows are used for grazing and haymaking, so the cattle are not always available for a photo. 😉

Cycling and ice cream to lift your spirits before they plummet again at 6 p.m. ;)

And here's some shameless advertising for our latest video of our Faroe Islands cycling trip:

Today was a very beautiful ride. We set off under grey skies in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. On the way back in Eschenlohe the sun and blue skies came out. Wonderful. The meadows are in full bloom and are simply beautiful. The asphalt cycle path meanders along. The magnificent nature makes you rave and dream. The stretch of gravel path is also wonderful …

Nice bike tour from Eschenlohe to Garmisch Partenkirchen. Coincidentally, the 150th anniversary celebration of the Partenkirchen fire brigade was complete with a parade... super nice.

Since the train was completely overcrowded at 9:38 and didn't take us, we rode our eBikes from Eschenlohe to the train station in Garmisch. A short detour to the Olympic Stadium and then onto the train to Heiterwang am Plansee.

This is a wonderful ride along the Loisach river valley surrounded by mountain ranges. The Zugspitz is directly ahead durin the ride. The Loisach is enerald green and pure. The ride is almost all on a trail and passes by several restaurants. On a nice sunny day, nothing could be better.

April 13, 2025,Kleine Loisach-Runde nach Eschenlohe

With visitors from Munich, we once again went to Eschenlohe to the organic ice cream farm. This time, however, we tried the third, eastern route between Oberau and Eschenlohe on the way there.

It's great that you can choose from three different cycling routes along the Loisach River and the moorland.

Beautiful family bike tour along the Loisach with longer breaks on a beautiful gravel bank and at the playground near the Kuhaway Falls.

Starting at a hiking car park in Eschenlohe, we drove an 8 along the Loisach through the beautiful landscape via Oberau, Farchant and Burgrain.
