Sunday tour to Ammersee and I was glad to have warmer clothing. Later I could pack it into the saddlebag.
Unfortunately, there is no cycle path from Diessen to Fischen and you have to ride back to Raisting to get to the Ammerradweg.
There is a very busy road, which is dangerous for cyclists and not recommended.

Unfortunately, there is no cycle path to Diessen and you have to ride on the main road. From here, there is heavy traffic from cyclists, no wonder with this weather. I briefly considered cycling …

Today we left the Lech River in Schongau and turned towards the Ammer River. From Peiting, it was a pretty rapid descent through the forest, unfortunately again on a gravel road, so not quite as fast. After that, it was a series of ups and downs, and on an inconspicuous trail, we discovered the Ammer River, a fantastic view from …
