Saalach River and Waterfalls

The bike path on the Saalach is just fantastic. On the one hand always the great view to the Predigtstuhl and on the other side of the Zwiesel and Hochstaufen

Cycle path at the Haiderhof

Highlight • Cycleway

It's mostly hard gravel, but it's still easy to drive. Cars, yes, but rarely.

The state border should be approached with some caution.
