Partly challenging and not always easy to ride S0 trail through the Eggstätt-Hemhofen lake district in the shady forest. Again and again, beautiful and attractive views of one of the lakes open up through gaps in the trees, where there are usually benches for a break. The surface on this trail is very different, soft forest floor, which can become very muddy after rain (like today) and then again passages with rough stones and fine gravel. Very varied section of the trail.

Nice route through the lake district, currently (March 24) a bit unpleasant to look at because of the wind throws and the processing. Certainly a wonderful recreational area in the summer, and probably well visited

Unfortunately not so well suited for cyclists. Not good places to take a break. The Hartsee is the best!

The Chiemgau lakes are highly recommended as they are home to beautiful nature. There are also great bike and hiking trails.
