From the town hall over the restricted level crossing (!) , then left and cross the main road onto the pavement on the right (!) over the Weiße Traun, around the roundabout onto the right-hand side pavement of Adelholzener Straße (TS 5) up to the right in the direction of Bergen . After approx. 1.6 km turn right onto Adelholzener Str. in the direction of Alzing . Before the large "St. Hildegard Nursing Home" turn left onto Bergener Straße and descend quickly down to the cycle path on the right next to the district road.

After approx. 5 km below Hasling , cross the "Bergener Bach", shortly afterwards turn right into Siegsdorfer Straße. In Hausen turn right into the Hausener Weg and into Bergen . After a short distance on the left is the tourist information office with a 24-hour wheelchair toilet . Continue to the village square a short distance on the sidewalk to the right. Carefully cross the village square opposite the Gasthof Post (!) and follow the cycle path signs on Weißachener Straße in the direction of Staudach-Egerndach/Grassau. Opposite Pletschach continue right on the bike path next to the district road.

In tranquil cranking about 6.5 km in a beautiful landscape with the Chiemgau mountains in the direction of Grassau , past hamlets such as Geißing, Klaus, Bayern, Avenhausen or Kitzbichl. At Gasttätt turn right into Rachlweg towards Egerndach . The beer garden at Gasthof Ott invites you to take a short break (no wheelchair toilet).

Continue on a good agricultural path around the " Hub " farmstead to the left in the direction of Grassau/Staudach-Egerndach and continue on Weidacher Straße to the junction with Bahnhofstraße. After a few meters on the footpath on the right, you will reach the bridge over the "Tiroler Achen". A look to the right already shows the flood protection dam. Immediately after the bridge , turn right and take the second driveway on solid gravel up to the dam (slope: 7%-8%). What follows is contemplative pleasure biking on approx. 6 km. The railway bridge is crossed under with momentum, followed by an approx. 15 m incline with 10%-12% (!). The A8 motorway will soon be underpassed. In a short sprint right up onto the wooden bridge and follow the "Chiemsee Radweg" for a short distance to the state road St 2096 (Grabenstätt - A8). Cross the state road carefully (!) , cross the A8 again on the right on a narrow bridge path and continue in the direction of McDonalds (wheelchair toilets).

Turn right past McDonalds and the gas station, then turn left in the direction of Sossau . At the end of the street turn left up to the chapel. Turn right here, a good 1 km slightly downhill in the direction of Hütt . Before Hütt the road turns left. Cross the A8 over the bridge (width: approx. 1.15m), then it goes slightly downhill. At the end turn right, under the A8 and then under the railway bridge again. Follow the road for approx. 4 km in the direction of Bergen - past Schneereut.
