Jochberg Süd
Description
The tour starts at the village parking lot in Jachenau. The 6.4-kilometre forest road ascent leads you to the Jocher Alm. Mountain bikers are not particularly welcome up here. There are several prohibition signs along the way. The tour is best tackled when the Alm closes in late fall, otherwise there are a lot of hikers on the trail from here. From the Jocher Alm, you push or carry your bike up the Jochberg. Here you have a wonderful view of Lake Walchensee, Lake Kochelsee and the Karwendel mountains.
After you have finished marveling, you start the descent along the path to the south. This is very rocky at the start. Only when you reach the forest does it become rooty and steep. Numerous hairpin bends and very steep passages demand a lot of riding skill. The route continues in this style to the Kesselbergsattel. Here you ride over the parking lot and take the short trail sections with you. In Urfeld am Walchensee, turn left onto the lakeside road and enjoy the magnificent view of the lake. The hardy can refresh themselves in the lake, although it is always quite cold. This brings you to Sachenbach, where you can stop for a bite to eat. The road then continues slightly uphill into the forest until you reach a forest road on the left and the tour ends at the parking lot via Berg to Jachenau.

In addition to the publishing business, the company is now also active in product management and operating entire mountain bike projects. These include the tourism project Ride Travel and the development of modern and authentic mountain bike offers such as the Bahnentour in Davos Klosters, Engadin St. Moritz, Lenzerheide or Aletsch, as well as the creation of multi-day tours such as the Postauto-Tour or the Hüttentour.

The brains behind Ride MTB
Note: This content has been automatically translated from German. Please report any incorrect translations.
The road from Jochberg has been closed to bikers for over 15 years, so if you ignore the sign at the top, don't be surprised to be mumbled at - the only people who are militant and above all ignorant here are the bikers.
I don't think it's clever to ride the hopelessly overcrowded and forbidden "Jochberg hiking trail" by bike. So it's not really surprising that bikers are increasingly being met with "bike anger" from militant hikers. I think the time window in which you can do this tour is extremely small.
