Transalp by Gravel Bike: From Farchant to Kaltenbach
The fourth stage of the Alpine crossing of the great Transexplorer road trip is also quite a challenge - but the panorama is all the more beautiful for it!
The start is right in front of the hotel door of the Explorer Hotel in Farchant. From there, turn left along Frickenstraße. Follow this road until you turn right at the end of the road, cross the Loisach, turn left, and follow the road there. After the first junction, follow Münchner Straße and continue straight ahead.
Having already covered a few kilometers, you pass the large Sylvenstein Reservoir - a popular photo spot! You continue cycling straight ahead until, a while later, the next highlight awaits you: Lake Achensee! There, you cycle along the lakeshore until the path eventually leads you alongside the railway tracks. As soon as the road ends, turn onto Kasbachstraße. Follow this road for a while until you take the third exit of a roundabout. Then, take the third exit again and follow the road along the Inn River and then the Ziller River.
Your cycle path gradually approaches the railway tracks again. As soon as you can see the Explorer Hotel, briefly check for train traffic, then safely cross the tracks and turn left towards the dirt road, then cycle uphill to the hotel.
