Sara's most beautiful gravel routes – gravel in Tölzer Land

With its impressive peaks, clear mountain lakes, and rushing streams,Tölzer Land is an absolute dream region for cyclists. Sara loves exploring our region on a gravel bike. She’s a blogger and gravel bike expert, and has already ridden through half of Europe. In just 17 days, Sara rode over 4,500 kilometres (2,796 mi) from Lake Garda to the North Cape. These routes through her home, Tölzer Land, are much shorter. She’s put together her seven favourite gravel Tours, which are between 30 and 90 kilometres (18-56 mi) long:

Hi everyone, I'm Sara – and I love to ride my gravel bike and bikepack.

I caught the bikepacking bug after I participated in the Bikepacking Trans Germany, a race across Germany. Since then, I've competed in some challenging bikepacking races such as the Northcape 4000 and the Race Across France. In my blog bikepackers.de (in German), I report about them in detail so that you can set off on a great adventure too.

You don’t always have to go on a long journey in far-flung places. Even though I've travelled a lot on my bike, the most beautiful routes are always those that are right on my doorstep. Now, I have the privilege of living where others go on holiday in one of the most beautiful regions of Bavaria – Tölzer Land. That's why I'd like to introduce you to my favourite gravel routes in this Collection. Around my home town of Wackersberg, you can gravel on either side of the Isar river, stop for a bite to eat and enjoy the beautiful view of the Karwendel, the largest mountain range of the Northern Limestone Alps.

You can travel to the Tours using carpools or by public transport. As some sections of the route lead through nature reserves, please observe the rules there and behave respectfully in the still intact nature of the Tölzer Land, so that we can all continue to benefit from these everyday escapes and relax in them for as long as possible.

You can find more information and tips for nature-friendly planning and leisure activities at dein-toelzer-land.de (in German). Travel information can be found here (in German): toelzer-land.de.

I wish you lots of fun on these Tours :) Feel free to write in the comments which Tour you liked best or where you had the best cheesecake.

Best regards,
Sara
