    Ein wunderschöner Radltag durch das Oberland, herrlich entspannt über die Dörfer tingeln - das mag ich! So gut wie null Verkehr (sicher auch krisenbedingt), allermeist sehr gut zu befahrende Strecke, viele Sehenswürdigkeiten. Letztlich eine sehr profilierte Strecke, ziemlich herausfordernd die knapp 1.200hm über viele kleine Hügel verteilt, hab knapp 6 Stunden gebraucht. Sehr zu empfehlen! Rennrad? Anfangs zwei kürzere unbefestigte 1k Abschnitte um Wasserburg; gg. Ende zwei längere matschige bzw. holprige Wald- bzw. Feldwege über vlt. jeweils 2k. Danke für die schöne Tour! 😊

    Sehr schöne Tour durch das Naturschutzgebiet mit den Seen bei Egstätt und Blick auf die Berge auf der Ratzingerhöhe. Sehr schöne Badeplätze bei Pietzing und nahe Baierbach. Nicht so schön ist das Fahren auf der viel befahrenen Straße zwischen Haimling und Ecking. Insgeamt aber eine schöne Radtour!
