Directions

From the car park in front of the main entrance to the station go right down Bahnhofstrasse past the travel agency. At the traffic lights turn left into Von-Brug-Strasse and after the railway bridge go right into Parkstrasse, on which you carry on straight up to the bridge over the river Loisach. The cycle path starts on the right side at the junction with the traffic lights. This cycle path will take you to the end of town alongside the state road B2 on the right hand side. You will then cross the state road at the pelican crossing, the signposted cyclepath will then take you slightly to the left past the golf course, through Burgrain and then on to Farchant. Carry on past the sports centre and into Föhrenheide. Always following the river Loisach, the cycle path winds all the way to Oberau. Getting off the bridge over the river Loisach in Oberau, turn right toward the golf course. This forest path will go parallel to the edge of the forest all the way to Eschenlohe. In the town bear right before the bridge across the river Loisach and cycle alongside the railway track and the river downstream to Ohlstadt. You can return from Ohlstadt by train or you can return on one of the signposted cycle paths along the other bank of the river Loisach.

Tips

Along the river Loisach, there are plenty of fields, inviting you to take a short break. Take your time and enjoy a picnic on the banks of the river. Tired legs are quickly refreshed in the cold mountain stream. This tour is particularly suitable for families, as it can be shortened at any point. There is the possibility to take the train back to Garmisch-Partenkirchen at Oberau, Eschenlohe and Ohlstadt. There is a train every hour. We recommend that you check the train times before starting on your cycle tour.
