There are a couple of nice spots along the way to cool off here if you can handle the 'crisp' water temperature. :))

Because of the heat, we only wanted to drive to the mouth of the Saalach and back. We were hoping for a light, cool breeze in the river valley, which was also the case in Schstten. At the mouth, we decided to continue to the bridge between Oberndorf and Staufen. To do this, we had to go back a bit …

At the beginning of the designated route, you'll ride downhill a lot. Later, the other side of the Saalach River becomes slightly uphill, which is very easy to manage. A very nice bike tour.
