The bike tour around the Simssee is very scenic and very easy to ride on gravel paths or side roads with little traffic and is well signposted.

The stage east of Lake Simssee, from Riedering to Hirnsberg, is always a scenic dream. The Ratzinger Höhe offers simply breathtaking views. Unfortunately, the weather was mixed from the afternoon onward, with thunderstorms and rain showers. Nevertheless, it's always a worthwhile tour.

Unfortunately forgot to turn on Komoot in time. So the first 6km are missing.
In tentative sunshine towards the east over the Mangfalldeich to Rosenheim. Continue along the Sims around the Simssee in the direction of Mauerkirchen. Short stop at the beach of Pietzing. From Hirnsberg onwards, the cold, wet weather began with snow dribbles.
