See the plan below for the platforms. We will be taking the BOB to Schaftlach.DescriptionA rolling pre-low-alpine tour with a possible swim stop. This is a beginner mountain-biking tour, non-technical and mostly a warm up of things to come. We begin at the Hauptbanhof to take the BOB out to Schaftlach where we head off first downhill to Sachsenkam, a very small climb and 8 kms later has us reaching the Reutberg Kloster for a quick stop. Travel gets choppy with a half-dozen short hills over the next 15 kms - mixed terrain - fields, woods, gravel to paved road. Then an easy climb (40 meters over 2 kms) for our lunch stop at Gaißach. Eat light! We then climb to Mareinstein through the woods - long but not too difficult a slough (208 m over 9.35 km average slope of 2.4% with a few 13% bits, on the map this is the section between the little men - as a comparable measure of difficulty the Isar climb at Gründwald is 52m over 0.5 km with a much harder average slope of 12%) . From Mareinstein down for 4 kms and we head off back to Schaftlach.This tour is a bit of a first step -- an intro to the mountain biking area - from Mareinstein it is possible to continue up to the so aptly named Fockenstein for a nice 1200 m climb. Not our ride, at least not this Sunday.
The descent is not that much fun if it is humid, better for dry weather. This is more a run of area than a path down. Not for road bikes.
