Description

From Kufstein head towards Mariastein (pilgrimage town). Then, cycle via Breitenbach to Lake Reintaler and to Kramsach, continuing through gorgeous scenery past Münster and head to Wiesing. The ascent to Lake Achensee is with heavy traffic but along the wonderful lake you drive on the cycle path. Getting to Achenpass it is then a few kilometres slightly downhill to Lake Tegernsee. In Rottach-Egern proceed right into the beautiful and calm Valepp. At Lake Spitzingsee reach the antivline Spitzingsattel and roll quickly downhill towards Bayrischzell. Cross the tranquil Ursprungpass continuing across the border to Thiersee. After a short stop at the Passion Play Theatre with views to the lake, climb the last meter uphill to Marblinger Höhe and enjoy the final kilometres downhill to Kufstein.
