Tour character

Moderately difficult family cycle tour from Hopfgarten im Brixental to Käsealm Straubing. You cycle along the Windauer Ache river on well-maintained paths through the Windau valley. The route is easy at first, then climbs a little more steeply to the Käsealm, where you can enjoy homemade cheese, bacon and schnapps. Along the way, there are always artistically decorated old houses and other places to stop for refreshments, including Gasthof Lendwirt and Gasthof Jägerhäusl in Rettenbach.
