Lake Rottach

Highlight • Lake

On the side of the lake where I cycled on my tour, there are a number of lovely little places where you can stop and enjoy yourself. There is no traffic on this side... except for the cyclists, of course.

Lake Rottach

Highlight • Lake

A beautiful, clear lake in which even regularly dived. In addition to some swimming areas, there is also a campsite, a boat rental and, as everywhere, where there is a lot of wind, even windsurfers.

Afterwards, there was still time for a visit to the basilica. Perfect timing! Towards the end of the stage, the freewheel body on KD's bike gave out. Schiele bike shop provided …

There is a heavy rain shower forecast, but (according to my weather app) it is not due to arrive until the afternoon, so I go around the Rottachsee in the morning.
