- 4.6 (83)·Hard·7.6 mi·Est. 6–6.5 hrDemanding loop in the Bavarian Prealps between Walchensee and Kochelsee. The loop 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 lake view 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 the popular hiking trail can get quite crowded. Attention: A part...
- 4.5 (29)·Hard·6.3 mi·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...
- 4.2 (14)·Hard·14.7 mi·Est. 9–10 hrPopular loop 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 landscapes
- 4.6 (7)·Moderate·22 mi·Est. 9.5–10.5 hrPromising road bike route in the Bavarian Prealps. A pure road circuit between Kochelsee and Walchensee. The bike tour starts at the power plant in Kochel and first leads over the Kesselbergsattel. Then the picturesque Walchensee is circumnavigated. An entertaining bike tour where you have to overcome a few meters in altitude. Great views and nice rest areas are the reward for this effort. Highlights: - Beautiful views - Local flora and fauna - Varied natural landscapes
- 4.4 (4)·Hard·21.3 mi·Est. 10–11 hrA beautiful, varied, rewarding MTB tour. Technically moderate, but quite exhausting due to the sometimes steep inclines. From the parking lot at the Kochelsee past the power station to the left, follow the sometimes quite steep gravel path. Below the overhead line to the right to the highest power pole. Drive down from here, echo to the left, up to the junction at an acute angle to the right. Follow the path to the junction to the left and follow a trail to Urfeld. Follow the road on the...
- Hard·42.3 mi·Est. 20–21.5 hrDemanding mountain bike or trekking tour near Kochel am See, Bavaria A wonderful, but also very demanding loop, which is particularly recommended with a mountain bike.

Then it goes back to Kochel via Saxony and Kotalm. There are places to stay and stop for a break. Accessible by bus and train. Highlights of the tour: -...
- Hard·37.7 mi·Est. 16–17.5 hrPopular section of the route that combines the familiar with the unfamiliar The Kochelsee is well known to mountain bikers and is the starting point for this Transalp tour. It is characterized by good accessibility from Munich via the autobahn and public transport. Immediately after the start, a strenuous climb awaits you on this route. However, this will be rewarded soon after the first pass with a wonderful view of the turquoise blue of the ice-cold Walchensee. Since the western shore...
- Easy·37.1 mi·Est. 15–16.5 hrEasier variant of the 1st stage from Kochel to Seefeld without crossing the Altlacher Hochkopf between Walchensee and Wallgau. The ascent from Kochel to Lake Walchensee can be done on Kesselbergstraße (heavy traffic on weekends!), As can the shorter west bank side on the federal road (B11). From Walchensee, the route runs exclusively on flat side roads on the lake shore and on the ascent to Wallgau on a tarred bike path. Easier final ascent to Seefeld here over the Triendlsäge on the marked...
