Tour description:
Route: Unterwössen (555 m) - Wiesen - Ramsenmooswald - Jochbergalm (1265m) - Widholz - Wiesen - Unterwössen
The start of this quite challenging ascent by mountain bike is at the new Tourist Info in the Altes Bad in Unterwössen. You drive on the settlement road, briefly also on a meadow path to the east and reach a wide forest road in Wiesen, which you always follow in a northerly direction. At a junction, you turn sharp right and continue pedaling steeply uphill through the dense coniferous forest below the Rosskopf. The forest path now turns to the east and leads high above the Kaltenbach valley to a stream ford with a gate. This is where the most fascinating part of this tour begins: on a narrow trail you cross the upper Kaltenbachtal (if necessary, push it!) and ends at a crossroads below the Jochbergalmen. In a few minutes you can reach the extensive alpine area and enjoy a well-deserved snack at the rustic hut. Sure-footed and experienced mountaineers can still scramble up the bold "steamboat" (1425 m) from the crossroads just below the Alm. The descent then runs along the wooded northern flank of the Rechenberg down to Wiesen - be careful not to miss the sharp right turn! - and flat back to Unterwössen.
Highlights: the slope crossing on a narrow trail, the alpine area with the rustic alpine hut, the Chiemgau Alps panorama
Bike & Hike: from the crossroads below the Jochbergalm to the summit cross steamboat (very demanding)
Bike & Swim: Swimming at Wössener See (short detour at the end of the tour in Unterwössen)
