View of Sassau Island and the Herzogstand

Highlight • Viewpoint

The now uninhabited island is a natural forest reserve and nature reserve. Enter is not allowed. But just for the view of the island and the towering Herzogstand behind it worth a break.

Beautifully situated at the foot of the Herzogstand and Jochberg. From the north shore you have spectacular views over the lake to the peaks of the Karwendel. The lake is also known for its unique water color.

A fantastically beautiful tour! There's so much to see that you don't even want to drive fast, and one break follows another. First a short stretch of the B11, then the transition to the smooth toll road (bikes allowed), then easy-to-ride gravel, a slightly larger hill, and then you're back on the B11, where at 5 p.m., only four cars …

Pleasure cycling at its finest
Always along the water.
You have to climb a (slightly harder climb) because the alternative path on the bank is closed to cyclists.
Magnificent Tölzer Land we will definitely be back.

Very nice route along the lake, but a brief climb in the forest followed by a descent on a gravel surface. The last few kilometers along the B11 with a lot of traffic during the day. We drove in the evening when it was still ok

A very nice tour around the Walchensee, for me the most beautiful lake in Upper Bavaria. It's almost impossible to cycle, because after 5 meters it's beautiful again. 🥰
Sometimes like in the Caribbean, sometimes like in Norway, it's not for nothing that the lake served as a film set for the film "Flake"
