We start our e-bike tour in Bad Reichenhall at your preferred location.
Depending on the starting point, we ride along the Saalach River via Karlstein and the Eisenbichler farm up the first rolling hills with phenomenal views of the Zwiesel and the Hochstaufen and the Reichenhall valley basin. The cows around us share this amazing view with us. This may be the opportunity for the first selfie with a cow and a mountain ;-)
We continue uphill along a shady forest path to the beautiful Thumsee, one of the most beautiful and cleanest mountain and swimming lakes in Upper Bavaria. The beer garden right by the lake invites you to enjoy a cool refreshment and a dip in the crystal-clear lake.
Refreshed and reinvigorated, we then head uphill through the forest towards Lake Listsee and the Niederalm. A magnificent view over the Reichenhall valley basin rewards us at our next stop. A short refreshment and then we go downhill and through the Nonner Oberland with an optional stop at the Flatscherhof farm shop. If you like, you can buy local specialities (sausage, cheese, etc.) here.
Then we continue along the Saalach to the Staufenbrücke. The trail offers many great views of the Predigstuhl and the Schlafende Hexe as well as the Untersberg. If we want, a short drink break at the Staufenbrücke beer garden.
Finally, we will take a small detour to the beautiful sunny mid-altitude above Reichenhall to Bayerisch Gmain and once again enjoy the breathtaking mountain panorama to the fullest.
The return trip to Reichenhall then takes us to the end point of the tour, the Wieninger Schwabenbräu beer garden at the end of the Reichenhall pedestrian zone. Our tour ends here at the cosy “zamsitz'n.”
