Did the tour continuously in the rain and unfortunately had no distant view of the mountains. But even with the weather, the round was worth it.

A beautiful tour in the Spitzing area, around the Rotwand.
In the morning, the route is mostly shaded, so it's also a good option in summer – if you set off early 😉

-AROUND THE ROTWAND including Schliersee and Spitzingsee-

The tour starts in the town of Geitau, where you can also find parking 🅿️. You cycle around the country road and Bayrischzell along a gravel cycle path. This offers nice places to take a break (Kneipp pool, children's playground, etc.). After a while, after a small town, turn right towards the mountains🏞️. …

June 3, 2022,Rotwandrunde mit Fleißaufgabe

It was a technically easy tour on wide forest roads and asphalt roads. Very attractive landscape with good places to stop for refreshments. Many
shady sections. Ideal on hot days. The climbs are moderate except for 2 short snappers. A great tour to cycle into.

Schliersee, Bayrischzell, Elendsattel, Valepp, Spitzingssee, Josefstal, Schliersee. A very nice bike tour, just to enjoy. Today I managed it with a friend at an average speed of 22 km/h. Phew, that was sporty. You can do it more leisurely 😍
