    Wir haben die Tour in umgekehrter Richtung bis Peiting gemacht, weil wir den Rest schon kannten. Bis dahin wunderbare Tour mit kulturellen und botanischen Highlights.

    Die Tour kombiniert große Teile des Stollenwegs mit einer Besteigung des Hohen Peißenbergs. Der Aufstieg entlang des Sulzerbachs und die Rückkehr durch den Wald entlang der ehemaligen Seilbahntrasse sind landschaftlich sehr schön und ruhig. Lediglich die Wirtschaftswiesen auf dem Bergplateau sind etwas eintönig und wenig abwechslungsreich. Dafür entschädigt das fantastische Alpenpanorama vom Gipfel.

    Schöne Runde durch Oberbayern. Die Strecke zwischen Moosmühle und Zellsee ist am Ende des Brandtwalds wegen Naturschutz dauerhaft gesperrt.Wir sind am Beginn des Brandtwalds durch den Eibenwald zur Hauptstraße Richtung Zellsee gefahren.Die Aussicht vom Hohenpeißenberg ist wirklich grandios. Einkehrmöglichkeiten gibt es am Hohenpeißenberg oder in Dießen am Ammersee

    Sehr schöne aussichtsreiche Tour. Wir sind im Uhrzeigersinn gefahren. Es sind etliche sehr steile Abschnitte zu bewältigen. Insgesamt eher 800 Höhenmeter. Die Abfahrt auf dem Schotterweg oberhalb vom Paterzeller Eibenwald ist kurz vor der Einmündung in die Asphaltstraße tief schottrig. Hier sollte man die Hinweisschilder ernstnehmen und besser absteigen.

    Wusste gar nicht, dass das ein eigener Gipfel ist. Sieht von unten aus wie ein Fernsehturm ohne irgendwas dazu.
