Wieskirchen route

3:10 h 444 hm 444 hm 45,4 km moderate

Experience the Wieskirche on two wheels! A unique cycling experience in Pfaffenwinkel for culture and nature lovers.

A beautiful and above all varied route, with an attractive mix of asphalt and gravel. Also perfect in hot weather, as there are always forest sections to cool down, but also bathing lakes along the way ready for a dip in the cool water. Thanks to the many climbs, an overall short and sharp route.



Tipp des Autors:

Reward yourself after the route with a traditional Bavarian snack in one of the inns along the way. The fresh products from the region taste especially good here.



Sicherheitshinweise:

Consideration Creates Space

Please note that in our region you often cycle on agricultural paths. You are very welcome on these paths, but they are naturally also used by farmers with their vehicles for managing the fields. Due to the width of the vehicles, it can get tight on the paths at times. The paths remain wide enough if all users show mutual consideration and if necessary yield and make room for other users. Please note that the large machines often cannot drive off the paths. Therefore, please yield as cyclists if it gets tight!

Thank you for your understanding and consideration for the people who have to work here!

Use of Paths Along Rivers

We are pleased that the Weilheim Water Management Office has created dike paths along the rivers that may also be used by cyclists.

Please note that these paths were created for water management purposes and do not always meet the quality requirements of cycle paths. Especially after construction measures, flood events and storms (downed trees) paths may show damage or impassable sections. Furthermore, expect occasional construction traffic.

Please use the paths with appropriate caution and observe the traffic signs on site! Use of maintenance paths is at your own risk.

Wegbeschreibung:

Steingaden – Altenau

The Wieskirchen route starts in the quaint monastery town of Steingaden, specifically at the marketplace, which tells stories of past monastery times, and initially leads westward to the federal highway. Turn left here for several hundred meters until the town exit. Before the main road climbs uphill, the path branches left – please watch for traffic. Here awaits the first climb, passing two beautiful lakes. Upon reaching the top, the path turns left and leads across beautiful fields, through the hamlet of Hiebler, where the route turns right. From now on, always with a view ahead of the Alps, it goes over the fields, passing the Upper Lindegger Lake on the right, gently uphill into the forest where the route sharply turns right. From now on, the path leads through a forest patch, then over a meadow and the hamlet of Resle, and finally meets the Königsstraße in the forest. Follow the signpost to the left towards Oberammergau. Here the gravel biking heart beats faster. Gorgeous gravel, always straight through the most beautiful forest. After about four kilometers, two streams are crossed. Then the path turns right and continues downhill and gravelly through beautiful forest. In the forest, the path intersects with a curve on an asphalt road, which soon crosses the Halbammer and continues to be ridden. The forest opens up, a wide meadow and the Ammergau Alps present themselves from their beautiful side. The road continues gently downhill and easy until Altenau is reached.

Altenau – Schönberg

In Altenau, the road leads northward parallel to the railway tracks into Saulgrub. There, it goes straight on the Ammergau road through the town. Beyond the town limit, the bike path crosses the federal highway to the right, then again turns left and runs parallel to the federal highway on a nice bike path gently uphill until the crest is reached, behind which the small church tower of Bad Bayersoien peeks out with every meter. Upon reaching the crest, the view extends over Bad Bayersoien with the Soier Lake. Those who want to take a break here are well catered to both culinarily and for refreshing at the bathing beach in the moor-rich lake at the Fischerhäusl directly on the lake and several other inns in the town. After the crest, it goes rapidly downhill and then in town turns right towards the Parkhotel. This is passed, with a magnificent view to the right of the lake. After the lake, it gently climbs over a field where the path turns left into the Kirmesau. There, the path now enters the forest, where it runs downhill on gravel. In the forest, the path crosses a narrow bridge secured by railing on one side only over a moor-rich stream. Pure idyll and thrill. Afterward, the path continues to the edge of the forest and then uphill along the forest edge. After a few meters of elevation and curves, the view opens up, and the Alpine foothills lay at one’s feet. With this view, it goes a few more meters over the fields below the town of "Schönberg", whose name is explained by the view.

Schönberg – Steingaden

At the lower end of the town of Schönberg, the path now merges onto the district road. There, turn left and descend with momentum on the well-paved road until reaching an intersection. Here, cross to the right over the Echelsbacher Bridge and simultaneously over the deep Ammer gorge, also known as the Grand Canyon of Bavaria. Afterwards, take the last possible exit at the roundabout so that you exit on the opposite side of the bridge. There, the Schleifmühlenweg leads slightly downhill on gravel. After passing the second farmstead, the path ascends again through a left-hand switchback. Another switchback goes uphill on gravel, then left over a field until the path meets the road to Morgenbach at the Schwaigsee parking lot. Here, too, a break at the kiosk or a cooling swim in the lake is possible. Then the path runs straight on the main road southwards into the town of Morgenbach, where the path at the last district turns right and goes uphill over a field. Here, the idyll reigns again. The route continues alternating uphill and downhill over the hilly landscape until Wildsteig is reached with its beautiful church and the Marian Grotto located on the slope below. In Wildsteig, it first goes rapidly downhill, then uphill again through the town, which is exited to the south. Shortly before the town’s end, the beautiful wooden chapel with its rustic wooden fence surprises. Then the path descends into moorish landscape. The path winds through until it ascends again – the last climb that requires full power. Almost at the top, the Wieskirche increasingly appears to the left with each meter, standing picturesquely amidst the charming landscape. It is worth a visit to admire this fabulous UNESCO World Heritage site, the rococo jewel. Afterwards, the path leads northwards for a few meters on the paved road until the path turns left onto gravel into the forest towards Litzau. From here, it mostly gently goes downhill, back to asphalt across the fields, uphill slightly once more, and then finally descends in a right curve at Gagras into the town of Steingaden. At the bottom, the path immediately turns right, past the historic buildings and monastery garden back to the marketplace, the starting point.
