South Shore of Heiterwanger See

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

When the weather is nice, the Ammergau Alps and the Heiterwanger and the Plansee, which look like two fjords. In both lakes you can swim.

Yesterday, I pedaled a tour that had been on my list for a long time with @HAm 🧭 as an afternoon ride into the weekend 🚵‍♀️🌟🚵‍♂️.

We started at the parking lot at the small Plansee (free of charge), from there along a great high-altitude trail with a great view of the Plansee. Then, we cycled along beautiful, varied paths …

A really great circuit. If you're ever here and have your gravel bike with you, then do the circuit. This is the best direction, as the descent after the Plansee is quite steep, long and gravelly. The ascent to the Zugspitze valley station is of course not a must 😂

One of the big highlights this year is this beautiful gravel tour around the mountain range between Plansee and Wetterstein, dominated by the 2340m high Daniel ⛰️! 🤩

Under the motto: Take me to the gravel! (Tom Cruise probably meant something else 😏), we headed to Plansee on Friday afternoon with @Thomas Lacher and our little bikes to start the …

It's sunny but cool, and we start at a modest 5 degrees Celsius.

First, we climb to Lake Plansee, where we passed yesterday. Now we follow the panoramic path along the north side. Where the road leaves the lakeshore, we stop for a coffee and gossip about the Porsche convertible drivers from Munich.

Roller round at the end of the extended weekend. Most broken, all happy! But it could be a few more climbs in the Alps. 😘

After four days in the Alps it's already time to say goodbye. We took wonderful impressions with us and were really lucky with the weather. Finally, today we went again from Garmisch to the Plansee. Wonderful blue water! At the end of the tour greeted the Zugspitze. I'm always impressed by how big it is and considering that you can …
