Chiemsee-Alpenland/Munich (May 2020) — From tree to tree or along the Wasserburg cycle path? In the Chiemsee-Alpenland, cyclists are not only on the well-known classics such as the Chiemsee Cycle Path or popular long-distance routes such as the Inn Cycle Path, but also explore new corners on interesting trails. A total of 2,000 kilometers of paved paths as well as forest and woodland roads offer a variety of tour experiences for every cyclist. The well-signposted routes with cozy places to stop for refreshments and special sights along the way, such as castles and museums, the certified “Bett+Bike” hosts and benefits such as the “Chiemseeringlinie” cycling and hiking bus, the “Wendelsteinringlinie”, the Samerberg hiking bus or the Priental-Chiemsee excursion bus make the region a paradise for cyclists.
Cycling vacation on the tree-to-tree tours
With a total of five tree-to-tree tours, cyclists can follow in the footsteps of historic trees and their stories across the region. For example, the large peace lime tree in Bad Feilnbach, the chapel lime tree near Tuntenhausen or the Luitpoldeiche near the viewing chapel on the Samerberg await excursionists. They learn exciting facts about the majestic trees on display boards. For the most part away from the busy roads and paths, the circular routes lead through the impressive landscape of the Chiemsee Alps and past impressive views or idyllic bathing spots. Discovery tip: Small detours such as a short hike on the bee nature trail or a visit to the farmhouse museum in Amerang provide even more variety. Cyclists can combine the different variants of the tree-to-tree tours and decide according to their daily form and individual interests.
Pleasure cycling on the Wasserburg cycle route
A feast for the eyes and delicacies: along the 110 kilometers of the Wasserburg cycle route, holidaymakers combine culinary discoveries and the varied landscape around Wasserburg. The round tour is best divided into two stages. This also gives the excursionists enough time for short stops. Along the way, you are rewarded with special views of the Alpine chain and numerous small lakes such as the Pelhamer or Rinser See invite you to take a short break for a swim. Various regional vendors along the way provide the necessary refreshments. At the Poidl delicatessen in Amerang, for example, there is homemade jam, at the Deliano coffee roastery in Wasserburg am Inn tired cyclists can get an energy boost and at the Dengel confectionery in Rott am Inn connoisseurs get their money’s worth with the delicious praline and chocolate specialties.
In the small farm café at the Finkennest Zillham near Schonstett, guests can fortify themselves with baked goods — here, owner Simon Fink produces everything from the grain to the finished bread himself. A dip in the water at Lake Rinser See is not the only way to cool off. At the Geschwendtner family’s kiosk, bathers and cyclists can enjoy a scoop of Rinser natural ice cream from their own farm.
