Tour Report

We met at the Munich Hauptbahnhof and caught the 9:05 BOB train.  Being a group of five, we were conveniently able to fully use a group train ticket.  The train was pretty full, but luckily we were all able to get ourselves and bikes into the train.

We exited the train in Lenggries and saw somewhat threatening clouds overhead.  The clouds persisted for much of the day but fortunately it never rained on us.  We began riding dirt roads and trails in the forest and through meadows in the vicinity of the Isar.  The route then took us to Jachenau where a little search for a geo-cache was made.  This was one of five geo-caches that were searched for along the route.  

Next we climbed the paved toll road (free for bikes) from Jachenau to the south east corner of the Walchensee.  We then rode westward along the southern shore of the lake, stopping once for another geo-cache which involved a swim for those so inclined.  Next was a climb up a gravel covered dirt road and then a fun descent (at least for those of us with mountain bikes) on a rocky dirt road near the Asamklamm and finally arrived into Eschenlohe where we stopped for lunch at the Zur Brücke restaurant next to the Loisach river.  It was a nice stop except for swarms of flies.

After a detour to a nearby hilltop church, we road a dirt road across the Murnauer Moos.  Due to the recent heavy rains, the normally dry road was under water in places, but still mostly rideable.  Our route then took us along the Staffelsee lake and finally to the Murnau train station.  With a bit of luck and hard pedaling, we arrived just in time to catch the 8pm train back to Munich.

The group enjoyed a nice day cycling through varied and beautiful terrain in the Bavarian Voralpen.
