Lake Walchen also makes the hearts of water sports enthusiasts and anglers beat faster: swimming, sailing, surfing, diving, fishing and boat trips are popular here.

As a true cycling and hiking paradise, the Two Lakes Region also offers all sorts of varied excursion destinations with tours of many levels of difficulty.

View of Walchensee

Highlight • Viewpoint

it is a beautiful tour that takes place exclusively on forest roads. The ascent from the Kochelsee is not easy to find. You have to drive into the parking area of the Dorst company to see the yellow signpost. Then it goes uphill all the time. Nothing for inexperienced muscles, but no problem with the Ebike. The Jochbergalm then goes up in the last third on the right, but beware, it is closed on Mondays.

May 31, 2025,Runde von Garmisch-Partenkirchen [F31/25]

We set off from Grainau in perfect weather. Initially, there was little traffic. In Walchensee, the traffic situation completely changed. This was probably the number one excursion spot today, so we moved on quickly. From Unterau onward, the ride was pleasant again. The second part of the route was definitely the nicer part.
Unfortunately, we're missing 8 km from the …

Cycling tour through the Werdenfelser Land region – from Partenkirchen to Kochelsee

Under bright blue skies and glorious summer weather, we started our cycling tour from Partenkirchen toward Mittenwald. Right from the start, a steep climb over the first seven kilometers challenged us – but the effort was worth it. From Klais onward, the route became more relaxed, and we …

June 14, 2025,Von Murnau am Staffelsee über den Kochelsee, über die Kesselbergstrasse zum Walchensee, weiter über Wallgau nach Garmisch-Partenkirchen und zurück entlang der Loisach mit einem Abstecher zum Staffelsee am 14.06.2025

A wonderful tour through a magnificent landscape with lakes and mountains. The Kesselbergstrasse was also quite easy to ride – despite the incline and the traffic.
