Whether a detour to Lintheben is worthwhile, everyone must decide for themselves: flat, gravel paths and asphalt lanes, quite often headwinds.

The road along the northern shore of the lake offers magnificent views of the lake time and again - so I can live with the driving ban on the south side of the lake.

A truly beautiful lake (reservoir with a largely natural dam), especially in autumn (magnificent colors).

A very beautiful pass. From Klöntalersee, good fitness is required on a mountain bike, but the entire route is rideable. Then, towards Obersee, excellent downhill technique is required; otherwise, you'll have to push your bike for about 100 meters, after which it's back to easy gravel roads.

Beautiful landscape and from the Klöntal side you can ride up everything with the EMTB.
