Zwei Radfahrer fahren auf einem Radweg rechts entlang eines Flusses, von hinten fotografiert, während sie die ruhige Landschaft genießen. Links vom Bach säumen Büsche das Ufer, und im Hintergrund grasen Kühe friedlich auf einer weiten Wiese.
Das Bild zeigt zwei ältere Radfahrer, die nebeneinander auf einem breiten Waldweg fahren, von vorne aufgenommen. Links und rechts des Weges stehen hohe Bäume, deren Kronen das Sonnenlicht filtern und den Weg in ein warmes, lebendiges Licht tauchen.
The picture shows the Victory Gate in Munich, a stone gate with a triumphal arch crowned by a sculpture on the roof. In the background is the low sun, whose light frames the gate, while on the right is a tree with yellow leaves

Additional information

Natu­re of the Tour
The Was­ser­Radl­We­ge through Upper Bava­ria con­nect some of the most beau­tiful cycle paths in Upper Bava­ria. For long stret­ches, they fol­low well-known cycle rou­tes such as the Isar­radd­weg, Danu­be Cycle Path and the Paar­tal Tour. Some sec­tions of the rou­te are also on side roads with litt­le traf­fic. The dif­fe­ren­ces in alti­tu­de along the rou­te are mana­geable, even if the hil­ly ter­rain offers chal­len­ging but enter­tai­ning clim­bs here and the­re. The dif­fi­cul­ty of the stages is deter­mi­ned by their length.
