Große Tegernsee Südrunde

Endurance: Advanced

Riding skill: Beginner

Ride duration: 4 - 6 hours

Break: Spitzingsee, various restaurants

The climbs up Wallberg and Kühzagel at the start of the tour are the toughest moments. Here, gradients are always >12% up to 18% with little chance for recovery (about 1000 meters elevation gain in total).

The ride from Spitzingsee along the 'roten Valepp' is on paved roads and goes quickly, with a pleasantly cool breeze even on hot days (in autumn it can be very cold).

At the end, turn left and follow the signs to EHJ Klause, then after the customs house head towards Bayenalm. Generally known as the Erzherzog-Johann loop.

After Bayenalm, you head home and your legs can relax all the way to the starting point in Rottach-Egern.

Conclusion

Interesting marathon route with varied nature, often along pretty mountain streams.
