From here you have a beautiful view of the Zugspitze, the highest mountain in Germany at 2,962 meters. When the weather is nice, let your gaze wander off the path and enjoy the view of this imposing peak.

June 5, 2026,Plansee – Kleiner Plansee- Heiterwangersee

Today we didn't have much time, but doing nothing at all was out of the question. So in the afternoon we swung ourselves onto our bikes again and did a wonderful loop to Plansee, Kleine Plansee and Heiterwanger See. 🚴‍♂️☀️

Basically the same tour as at the beginning.
Slightly shortened, past Lake Heiterwanger.
It was too hot to do a strenuous tour up high.
So the vacation and the 4-month sabbatical are over.
The summer of my life is over.

We started the tour from the Zugspitz Resort Ehrwald and have to say it was a really nice tour, great cycle paths and the condition was also great for our trekking bikes, we got through everywhere easily and there were also one or two opportunities to have a drink.

September 20, 2024,Runde um den Daniel

A magnificent bike tour from Plansee around the Daniel. Past the Zugspitze, along the Loisach with a Canadian feel and the beautiful Häselgehr waterfall. I almost rode past it if a few bikes hadn't been parked there. Back along the natural Neidernach. Finally, a stop at the Musteralpe and then a refreshing swim in the meltwater-cold Plansee
