Cycle tour – Ettal Abbey and Linderhof Palace

From the starting point in Unterammergau we start this royal round tour first towards the north. In Scherenau we cross the Ammer and cycle upstream along the Ammer until we arrive in Oberammergau. In Oberammergau, it is worth taking a detour to the world-famous Passion Play Theater. In the village we cross the Ammer again and cycle through the Weidmoos nature reserve towards the Ammer sources. We follow the bike signs into the Graswang valley, first past the Gertrudiskapelle in Dickelschwaig and then through the village of Graswang. In Graswang, driving briefly on the Staatstaße, we turn right onto the Kohlbachweg and continue to cycle past a small pond through the Kohlbachtal, slightly uphill to the castle park. When we arrive at the north gate, we have to push our bicycles through the wonderful castle park for the first time until we reach the castle and the grounds of the fairy tale king Ludwig II. The way back to Graswang is on the other side of the valley. From Graswang we follow the same cycle path towards Ettal past the Gertrudiskapelle. In the Weidmoos nature reserve at the bridge we turn right and reach the Ettaler Mühle. From the Ettaler Mühle we can already see the world-famous Ettal Abbey. From Ettal we follow the bike signs back to Oberammergau. This cycle path runs parallel to the B23 and shortly afterwards we follow the Ammer to Oberammergau. To get to the starting point in Unterammergau, we cross the Ammer in Oberammergau and leave the village in a westerly direction. The cycle path to Unterammergau runs parallel to the B23 again.
