Nice tough climb to one of Bavaria's most beautiful lakes. Climb starts quietly in the village of Grainau, but the gradient climbs quickly after that. Fortunately, the climb is not too long and at the end you are treated to great views over the lake. Near the lake is also the valley station of the Zugspitzbahn, which lets you take a steep cable car to Germany's highest point in one go. Halfway up the climb, you cycle a section parallel to the rack and pinion train from Garmisch-Partenk... read more

Nice tough climb to one of Bavaria's most beautiful lakes. Climb starts quietly in the village of Grainau, but the gradient climbs quickly after that. Fortunately, the climb is not too long and at the end you are treated to great views over the lake. Near the lake is also the valley station of the Zugspitzbahn, which lets you take a steep cable car to Germany's highest point in one go. Halfway up the climb, you cycle a section parallel to the rack and pinion train from Garmisch-Partenkirchen, so you might automatically be given extra incentive to keep cycling.

Mooie pittige klim naar een van de mooiste meren in Beieren. De klim begint rustig in het dorpje Grainau, maar het stijgingspercentages neemt daarna snel toe. Gelukkig is de klim niet al te lang en wordt je aan het eind getrakteerd op een prachtig uitzicht over het meer. Rond de Eibsee loopt een mooi glooiend en breed gravelpad waarover je een prachtige rondje rond het meer kunt maken (ongeveer 8 km lang); het is een gravelpad dat met iets bredere bandjes vanaf ongeveer 28 mm echter prima te doen is.

Bij het meer is ook het dalstation van de Zugspitzbahn, waarmee je je met een moderne (steile!) kabelbaan in één ruk naar het hoogste punt van Duitsland, de Zugspitze, kunt laten vervoeren.

Halverwege de klim fiets je een gedeelte parallel aan de tandradtrein vanuit Garmisch-Partenkirchen, dus wellicht wordt je automatisch extra aangespoord om door te fietsen.

Al met al is deze klim echt een aanrader voor iedereen die in de buurt van Garmisch-Partenkirchen verblijft.
