Description

Starting from Kufstein, we roll up on the Innradweg towards Ebbs, before we climb up crisply towards Durchholzen. Not much longer and we catch the first glimpses of the Walchsee in front of us and the Kaisergebirge to our right. Most of the meters in altitude are done, before we cycle around the lake and from there on past North Tyrol's largest moorland landscape, the Schwemm, over side roads to Niederndorferberg. Here a worthwhile and panoramic descent awaits, which leads us back to the Innradweg.
