June 29, 2024,Um den Herzogstand 🔄 mit Swim 🏊🏻‍♀️ & Spritz 💦🍹

This week, while meditating on the fact that I can't sleep, I imagined Lake Walchen. In all its deep blue-green splendor and glory. It must have gone straight into my subconscious and from there crept into my weekend plans 😁. Other reasons for choosing today's route were the terra incognita north of Herzogsstand (always too steep for me in terms …

After the many mini-adventures in July, today I feel more like familiar territory, letting my soul dangle a bit. As long as it has to do with 2 wheels, the biciclophile Luigi is right there with me. We're heading towards Walchensee, approaching it from Eschenlohe.

Off to Eschenlohe 👌 so lucky that many are probably on vacation.

The highway and cycle paths are empty.

Here we come. 💪🚴‍♀️

Ups and downs through mountains and valleys and along lakes...

Some of the paths were quite rough. The descent was based on the motto "he who brakes loses" 🤷‍♀️.

That was a really nice round, not to be underestimated with the eMTB, but good for the inexperienced! We charged the batteries from the bike at the lake, but this is not mandatory.

If everything is green in Munich, it could still go up to almost 1,000m altitude. "Go" was actually the word for the return journey...

From Eschenlohe via Ohlstadt to Schlehdorf to Kochelsee through the most beautiful winter landscape. The ascents can also be mastered with an organic bike. (No problem for the two e-bikes anyway - except for sensor problems …
