Tranquil mountain town near the Wilder Kaiser in the south and Geigelstein in the north, small dairy with a 24/7 cheese machine.

There are actually a few cycle paths here that lead through the valley, far from the main road. But the connection from Erpfendorf up to Kössen is, in my opinion, better from the cycle paths and almost continuously along the river or, as they say here, along the Ache.
