Elegant mix of traditional and modern: from the water, the new bridge appears like an old, covered wooden bridge. But actually only the two pedestrian paths at the edge of …

Here you can expect some technical climbs which can be mastered with good physical condition. We continue in the direction of Wallgau and Garmisch. On this section there are always beautiful views of the Karwendel and Wetterstein. You should plan …

September 1, 2024,Von Ohlstadt über Garmisch-Barmsee-Obernach nach Eschenlohe

The route from Obernach to Eschenlohe is not suitable for all bikes. First there is a nice climb and then the descent goes over scree, gravel and roots through a small stream. I also had to push the bike downhill at times.

August 27, 2026,Bike&Swim | Ums Estergebirge mit Badestopp

Now that summer is slowly running out of steam, it's time to jump into the lakes as often as possible! So today I'm tackling the Barmsee and building the tour around it 😁. We normally ride the loop around the southern Estergebirge clockwise, today I'm trying it the other way around. In that case, however, I'll need an alternative to …

August 8, 2024,Um das Estergebirge "light"

The classic had to be shortened a little today due to the weather. The steep climb to the lookout point below the Simetsberg and the planned stop at the Gschwandtner Bauer fell victim to the rain, but it was still a nice round.
But I now know that the rain pants are no longer completely waterproof ;-)

June 24, 2024,MTB & Hike Simmetsberg mit Estherberg Runde

Today I did another nice bike and hike tour up the Simmetsberg with lots of elevation gain. I recorded the entire tour. First with the MTB through the Eschelainetal to the bike depot and then about 2 hours on foot to the summit. I went back by bike to Wallgau, Partenkirchen, Farchant and back to Oberau.
