Chiemgau Ride via Wildbichl

The network of roads near the German region of Chiemgau is ideal for road bike riding with plenty of climbs, descents and flat valley sections. All in all, cyclists taking on the Chiemgau Ride must complete 126.5 kilometres in Germany's alpine foothills. Starting in Kufstein, the route leads via Aschau in the German region of Chiemgau to Siegsdorf and Ruhpolding. Despite its length, the ride has only 1,350 vertical metres of relatively easy climbing and plenty of places to stop off en route for a drink and a meal. Moreover, riders can look forward to plenty of highlights such as the castles in Kufstein and Aschau and the pretty lakes between Ruhpolding and Niederndorf.
In the shadow of the mighty Kufstein Castle, cyclists start this ride at the Unterer Stadtplatz in the centre of Kufstein. The first section leads along the Inn Cycle Path to Ebbs, where riders turn off the cycle path and ride through the centre of the village before taking the road to Niederndorf. Here, leaving the village, is the only climb of note in this ride - up onto the Niederndorferberg (959m). With this hurdle overcome, riders can look forward to a fast descent over the border into Bavaria all the way via Sachrang to Innerwald. Almost all of this section is downhill, with just a few short climbs sprinkled inbetween to keep the legs turning.
