Rotwandhaus
Description
The tour starts behind Breitenbach am Schliersee. You ride along the Schliersee to Neuhaus, then continue up the old Spitzingsattel forest road until it leads to the Spitzseestrasse. Follow this road to Spitzingsee. Go through the barrier towards Valepp and then immediately left up towards Rotwandhaus. Now begins the ascent, which is over six kilometers long; first on tar, then at the Maxlrainer Hütte turn right onto the forest road. The second part of the climb is quite steep until you reach the Rotwandhaus. After a small snack, head east on hiking trail 646 down into the Pfanngraben. The trail is very challenging in parts and is peppered with roots and rocky steps in the forest. The use of the Pfanngraben by mountain bikers is a political issue for environmental reasons, as mountain bikers are allegedly responsible for the erosion damage. In the lower part of the Pfanngraben, there are some wonderful pools in the gorge that invite you to take a cool dip in summer. Refreshed, you ride to the Valeppstrasse and back again. Another short, flowing trail awaits at the Spitzingsattel, which leads to Neuhaus. Then continue on the same route as the approach back to the starting point.
Note: This tour should not be ridden at the weekend, as there are a lot of hikers out and about at that time.

Hello,
the trail described here from the Rotwandhaus is officially forbidden. In the interest of all bikers in the bay. Voralpen, you should refrain from riding it. It would make sense if this tour were not published here. There is also a high risk of being informed of the ban by the local "rangers". All in all, it makes more sense to ride trails in the immediate vicinity instead of this route, which has long been a source of conflict...
