- 4.6 (83)·Hard·12.2 km·Est. 6–6.5 hrDemanding circular route in the Bavarian Prealps between Walchensee and Kochelsee. The circular route begins on the banks of the Kochelsee (parking fee required) and leads up over the peaks of the Kienstein and the Sonnenspitz to the Jochberg with a great view of the lake down to the Alps. You return to the starting point via the Jochbergweg and the Alte Kesselbergstraße. The route is easily accessible by train and bus. It's worth starting early, as it can get quite crowded on the popular...
- 4.5 (29)·Hard·10.1 km·Est. 5–5.5 hrPopular hiking trail with great views near Kochel am See, Bavaria. This route offers everything that a hiker's heart desires: great views, lots of nature and rushing water - but it is a bit exhausting from time to time due to steep paths. After just a short distance, the magnificent waterfalls appear in the middle of the forest. Nearby there is also the impressive panoramic view of Kesselbergstraße with a magnificent view of the Kochelsee and Walchensee. These views of the Bavarian foothills...
- 4.5 (13)·Hard·23.7 km·Est. 9–10 hrPopular circular hike to the Herzogstand in the Bavarian Prealps. This scenic circular hike starts at the Altjoch campsite on the Kochelsee and initially leads on consistently wide paths through dense forest, allowing a view of the Walchensee occasionally. Later it reaches alpine pastures and climbs up in an almost constant incline to the Berggasthaus Herzogstand. There it offers a fantastic view of the Walchensee. Highlights: - Beautiful views - Local flora and fauna - Varied natural...
- 4.6 (7)·Moderate·35.4 km·Est. 9.5–10.5 hrScenic road bike route in the Bavarian Pre-Alps. A pure road tour between Kochelsee and Walchensee. The cycle tour starts at the power station in Kochel and first leads over the Kesselbergsattel. It then circles the picturesque Walchensee. An entertaining cycle tour with a few metres of elevation gain. Great views and lovely rest stops are the reward for this effort. Highlights: - Wonderful views - Local flora and fauna - Varied natural landscapes
- 4.4 (4)·Hard·34.3 km·Est. 10–11 hrA beautiful, varied and rewarding MTB tour. Technically moderate, but quite strenuous due to the sometimes steep inclines. From the car park at Kochelsee, turn left past the power station and follow the gravel path, which is quite steep in places. Turn right below the overhead power line to the highest electricity pylon. From here, descend and bear left until you reach the junction to the right at an acute angle. Follow the path to the junction to the left on a trail and continue to Urfeld....
- Hard·68.1 km·Est. 20–21.5 hrChallenging mountain bike or trekking tour near Kochel am See, Bavaria A wonderful, but also very demanding round tour, which is highly recommended, especially by mountain bike. From Kochel am See, the route leads to Walchensee and then up towards the Simetsberg. The route continues through the marvellous Eschenlain valley to Ohlstadt and Urfeld on the Walchensee. The route then returns to Kochel via Sachenbach and Kotalm. Overnight accommodation and refreshment stops are available....
- Easy·59.7 km·Est. 15–16.5 hrEasier version of the 1st stage from Kochel to Seefeld without crossing the Altlacher Hochkopf between Walchensee and Wallgau. The ascent from Kochel to Walchensee can be made on the Kesselbergstraße (very busy at weekends!), as can the shorter western shore on the main road (B11). From Walchensee, the route runs exclusively on flat side roads along the lakeshore and on a tarmac cycle path on the ascent to Wallgau. Easier final ascent to Seefeld here via the Triendlsäge on a marked...
- Hard·60.7 km·Est. 16–17.5 hrA popular section of the route that combines the familiar with the unfamiliar Lake Kochelsee is very popular with mountain bikers and is the starting point for this Transalp tour. It is easily accessible from Munich via the motorway and by public transport. Right after the start, a strenuous climb awaits on this route. However, this is rewarded soon after the first pass with a wonderful view of the turquoise blue of the ice-cold Walchensee. As the western shore of the Walchensee is usually...
