This round is perfect for everyone who loves long tours with few meters in altitude. As an encore, there is pure nature in the Röthelmoos - and a cool down in the three lakes area.

Tour description:
Route: Ruhpolding (662 m) - Urschlau - Röthelmoosklamm - Langerbauer Alm (874 m) - Röthelmoos Alm (880 m) - Three Lakes Region (753 m) - Seehaus - Chiemgau Arena - Taubensee - Ruhpolding
The start of this long but low altitude round is the parking lot at the Egglbrücke in Ruhpolding. Head southwest on the finest gravel – past Bärngschwendt and the fairy tale theme park – into the valley of the Urschlauer Achen. The little road along the stream to Urschlau is paved. From here it's on gravel, but still with only moderate gradients to the Röthelmoosklamm with a great vantage point at the sharp left turn. After a few hundred meters, the forest suddenly opens up and you drive through the fantastic alpine pastures of the Röthelmoos Alm. Tip: lock up the bike and explore the extensive nature reserve on foot! Later you cycle further south. The wide driveway turns into a nice trail that leads along the Wappbach through the forest down to the Three Lakes area. Please be considerate of hikers! At the bottom, the bathing area lures tired mountain bikers to a full-body refreshment. In the north of the lakes, you then head east to Seehaus and the Chiemgau Arena before rolling back along the Weißen Traun to the starting point at the Egglbrücke.
