    The Große Elbseerunde is usually a very quiet cycling route and offers some very beautiful mountain views. Especially very exposed spots such as just before Geisenried, halfway between Unterthingau and Reinhardsried, or the rest area including the Alpine panorama sign shortly before Görwangs are ideal locations for a break. A beautiful viewpoint is also offered on the height east of the Elbsee. In general, a rest at the Elbsee is worthwhile, which can be combined with visiting some sites of the "Moor Experience Area Elbsee".

    The moor experience guide Christine Schwarz offers tours on the subject of moors at the Elbsee.

    Author’s recommendation

    Especially impressive is a walking loop on the Elbsee pier – here you find yourself surrounded by tall reeds in the midst of a scenery that you otherwise never get to enter. The Elbsee pavilion can also be used for a break with information about the moor area around the Elbsee.

    Safety information

    When taking a detour to the Elbsee pier, caution is advised when walking on it, as railings are not installed everywhere. Riding a bicycle is not practical due to the width.

    Tips and suggestions

    This route is also described in the Schlosspark cycling map. It is available at all tourist information centers, including the accompanying booklet, for the price of €6.00.

    Roadbook

    The route starts in Aitrang. From there, it goes past the Elbsee (swimming opportunity) and Riedmoos further to Geisenried. Via Engratsried and Leuterschach, the route leads to Ober- and Unterthingau. Through Reinhardsried and Görwangs (St. Alban), you then get back to Aitrang.

    There is no recommended direction of travel. The loop can be ridden in both directions.

    The route runs on secondary roads and farm roads. A short section has to be ridden on busy district roads. Between Elbsee and Hattenhofen, the path is partially made of sand/gravel, otherwise of asphalt.
