Cycling tours around Munich

[Small Town Boy 6,672]

This week it's Take 2 for the Inn valley route that was cancelled a couple of weeks ago. The snow-capped mountains will provide an extra scenic backdrop, while at the heights we're at ice/snow won't be a problem. The weather forecast is sunny but cool, so wrap up warm. Remember that the CLOCKS GO BACK on Sunday morning, which means we gain an hour. However, to ensure that we don't finish in the dark, we also start an hour earlier. So the meeting time is 8.30 a.m., which is 9.30 in old money.

 

The tour is a little further afield in the Inn valley inside Austria. If offers beautiful views in the heart of the Alps with only limited and gentle climbing. There is one break en-route and a second at the end.

 

Meeting time on Sunday morning is 8.30 a.m. by Platform 11 of Munich Hauptbahnhof (near Starbucks). We take the train to Kufstein, a direct journey taking one and a quarter hours. Upon arrival we set off initially along the River Inn, before heading onto and along the quiet Angerberg Plateau above the Inn valley, past the Mariastein pilgrimage church anchored on rocks above the plateau. This section contains the large majority of the uphill, but it's mostly gentle and there's only about 150 metres of height gain. The section ends with a rapid downhill to the River Inn, where a leisurely lunch awaits (22km). The afternoon section (27km) is virtually entirely flat as it roughly follows the course of the Inn back via Wörgl (which I mention only because I like the name) to Kufstein, where there's time for a nice cup of beer at the end of the ride.

 

The route follows the usual mixture of bike paths, quiet roads, gravel tracks, river paths and motorway hard shoulders. Total cycling distance is about 50km. Expected arrival time back in Munich is 7.15 p.m. Sign up below to join.
