Elendalm

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Not entertained, but always a popular place for a little rest in the sun after the ascent over the misery ditch. There is also a good source of fresh water for "refueling".

By train to Bayrischzell. Pushed for 5-10 minutes on the way up to the Ackeralm, struggled quite a bit in 2 other places, but stayed in the saddle. After the lap in Bayrischzell, I swapped another tube and then got on my bike back to Munich.

The plan was an easy-going, very forest road-heavy round tour with a stop at the Ackernalm....

We started just before Landl. On nice paths to the Zipflwirt. From there uphill to the misery saddle with two short ramps. The sun had already risen so far that the Kloo-Ascherl valley was sunny and not freezing cold. From the saddle briskly downhill …

Today a MTB tour to wash the 🦶🦶...
It was pretty wet up to the Zipflwirt.... yes, the road is the alternative - gladly taken for the return journey... the socks were dry again..

From the Zipflwirt further across the Landl then to the MTB tour "around the Sonnwendjoch" with a stop at the Ackernalm.
