Three Valleys Bike Path

Description from Simbach to Pfarrkirchen

From the Infopoint at the former border crossing in Simbach a. Inn, follow the Inn, Bach, and Gollingstr. through Simbach. At the outdoor pool, the path branches off to the left, passes the school center, and at the next intersection turns right over Kirchberg to Edmühle. In Edmühle, the path turns left and then follows the idyllic Schrattental valley up to Rampelhub. At the crossroad on the hill, where you turn left, there is a splendid panoramic view. To the north, you can already see Wittibreut, with its mighty church tower, the next destination. Follow the road into the town center, then first turn left, immediately followed by a right turn, and cycle now along the Fatzöder stream via Geretsham to Unterpaikertsham. Here, an interesting detour is the natural monument "Kaser Steinstube" (large accumulation of Nagelfluh blocks), about 600m from the path. Continue along the old stream through the Nupplingerau before reaching the small village of Nuppling. There, at the intersection, the route changes direction and branches right towards Triftern. On this way, you pass through the settlement at Furth, then at the town's edge shortly before the crossroads turn right into Bachstraße and cycle along the old stream to the next intersection, Pfarrkirchener Straße. Those wanting a short break turn right here into the town center. At this crossroads on Pfarrkirchener Straße, you meet the Mühlen Auenradweg, which leads in a scenic route via Stubenberg back to the Inn, enabling a circular route. In the opposite direction, you leave Triftern and, following the signage, cross the next intersection leading to Berndlbergstraße. Now comes a climb up Berndlberg to Staudenhäusl, richly rewarded by the magnificent view of the surrounding hills, valleys, and Triftern. On the ridge, follow the road a short distance west until the signage near Kellberg points right. A pleasant downhill ride leads to Untergrasensee, where you approach its beautiful village church. However, the path turns left before the church, continues through the village, and again turns left at the bridge. Now cross the Grasenseer Bach, turn right after a few hundred meters at the next intersection, and you are already approaching Pfarrkirchen. From afar, you can see the mighty twin towers of the pilgrimage church at Gartlberg. On the outskirts at Mahlgassing, you reach the Rottal bike path and now have the option to continue east toward Bad Birnbach or follow the path in the opposite direction to Pfarrkirchen-Eggenfelden. The last part of the route to the Infopoint at the new recreation area in Pfarrkirchen leads mostly along a foot and bike path on the outskirts. From the Infopoint to the train station or the city center is only about 800m.
