Very nice section of this route on the Würm, through a wonderful landscape. Simply cycle in a relaxed manner and capture the beautiful perspectives of nature. Moderate climbs and smaller descents make this tour an experience.

A highlight in many ways - great photo opportunity, even from afar through the open meadow "Am Durchblick" - nice stop in front of the castle by the pond without consumption or inside in the café - is on the Würmradweg-Nord between Pasing and Allach-Untermenzing in a north-south direction - east-west direction the castle is at the western end of the green belt "Durchblick" to Nymphenburg Palace and to the east to Langwieder See Where Munich cyclists like to ride, including insider tips. - link to the map: https://t1p.de/radlvorrangnetz - app "MunichWays":

Without komoot, it's easy to miss the signs in some tricky parts of the route. From Pasing it goes beautifully north past the Blutenburg to Allach. It goes south to Starnberg. From Gauting there is an alternative, more family-friendly route via Gut Rieden: https://www.munichways.de/starnberg-routen/

A nice stop can be made at the Blutenburg, e.g. B. on a bike tour along the Würm or to Nymphenburg Palace www.munichways.de/Entdeckertour

The water wheel in the Würm near Lochham always fascinates me. I find the many photos of it fascinating. The Würm, especially in the upper reaches between Lake Starnberg and Munich, is highly recommended for walks and bike tours. You can also find many hidden places there if you try to stay very close to the river. (Unfortunately without my own photos.)
