Rund um den Rabenkopf
Description
At Jachenau, ride along the forest road towards Rabenkopf. Eight kilometers uphill, sometimes very steeply, until you take the trail to Pessenbach Schneid on the right. Slightly uphill at the start, the trail runs along the slope. Beware of the risk of falling in places: after half of the trail, it becomes steep. You then reach the Pessenbach Schneid without any great difficulty. Continuing to the left here, the trail leads over steps, roots and rocky terrain. In the lower section, the trail has a few hairpin bends until you pass the Ortereralm. Descend along the forest road and turn right onto a cart track. Ride along this until you reach a junction where you turn left towards Kochel am See. A small uphill trail begins, not too steep over roots until you reach the forest road again. Continue riding slightly uphill until you reach the Abendlicht trail. This flowing and not too steep trail with soft forest soil leads to Kochel am See. A few roads further on, the ascent towards Jochberg begins. Halfway up, you can take a section of the Kochel trail with you. However, if you are already feeling a bit tired, you should not tackle it. It has an S4 passage right at the start and is not without its challenges. Very rooty and always a little damp, as it is north-facing, the upper part is on soft forest soil. The lower section is a bit gravelly. But overall very fun, it leads back onto the forest road. Ride up this again and then continue until you pass the Kotalm. After about 500 meters, turn left onto the Jochberg trail towards Jachenau. This old horse trail is very stony and rocky, sometimes a little wider, and runs alongside the stream until you reach the forest road to Jachenau. From there back to the parking lot. If you are coming from Munich, you can also start the tour in Kochel am See.

The brains behind Ride MTB

Awesome ride. This time I rode an e-bike. It was even more fun because there were several technical, root-covered uphill sections that I’d previously only been able to push my regular bike up—especially when my strength started to fade. It’s best to go during the week or on the weekend, starting no earlier than the afternoon. That way, it’s no big deal if you end up on the trail/horse path past the Kotalm, where cyclists aren’t exactly welcome. If you stick to this off-peak timing, there’s no potential for conflict—the trail is awesome! But be careful: right now, there’s no way to get past St. Nikolaus Parish Church on your way to Jachenau. There’s a massive construction site there, and the path right next to the church is completely closed off. There’s also no way to get around the closure—it’s definitely impossible. I spent ages trying to get around it—to no avail. The only option: right after the “Pferdeweg,” take the forest road to the right and head over the hill to Jachenau—it’s just a small detour.
Overall, a great tour, but it really takes it out of you, and some of the trails are quite technical. Die-hard flow enthusiasts probably won’t be too happy here.
