From Engstlensee, a well-rideable gravel path leads to Tannensee. Then up to Jochpass and back to Melchsee; the last section is partly demanding, but the nature is fantastic.

The mountain restaurant is a great place to stop for a meal. The service is very friendly, and the food is fresh and very good.
