The market town of Prien am Chiemsee is the largest town on the so-called Bavarian Sea. 😊
Its town center is about 2 km from the harbor.
When the royal castles were opened to the public after the death of King Ludwig II in 1886, tourism here surged due to visits to Herrenchiemsee, leading to chaotic conditions

Salzburg is certainly one of the best-preserved among the large cities in the German-speaking world. 🤩
The cityscape of the old town, squeezed between the city mountains and with over two thousand years of history, is picturesque. In 15 BC, the Roman city of Iuvavum was founded on Celtic remains and

The quite consistent weather 🌞 really turned up the temperature today: starting at 25°, finishing at 35°. I'm doing heat training. 🙈
Starting from Inzell, we went a bit through the meadows and the beautiful location of the town in the wide valley in front of the mountains was clearly visible.

Well, the weather stays with me: 🌞 and at the start 23°, at the destination 31° and like the last few days often a bit of wind, which makes it still bearable, or I've simply gotten used to it. 😄
Starting at Traunstein station, I also looked at the remarkably designed war memorial, which I would have

Nothing surprising about the weather: summer continues. 🌞 Temperature at the start again 24°, at the destination 31°, so somehow the same. ☺️
Looking at the length of the stage, I was already a bit intimidated by the weather, although I usually don't mind up to 30 km. Plan B would have been to take the

To the north of Rupertiwinkel, it was quite warm today as expected 🌞, but with 24° at the start and 30° at the destination, it was still quite manageable. 😄
My stage today ran completely within the municipal area of Tittmoning, whose old town thus conveniently moved into the center along with places
