Tour description:

Traunstein is not called a beer town for nothing. Here three breweries want to be explored. The Hofbräuhaus Traunstein, which has been brewing in the heart of Traunstein's old town for over 400 years, the Schnitzlbaumer private brewery, known as the oldest brewery in Traunstein, or the Wochinger Bräu, which is particularly well known for its handcrafted beers. Start your tour with a refreshment to motivate you for sporty cycling or start cycling straight away and look forward to a reward at the end. From Traunstein you head north, following the adventure tour "Radeln in harmony" via Aiging to Neuhausen. Cycle along the "Chiemgauer Schmankerltour" in the direction of Traunwalchen. Accompanied by the Traun, leave Traunreut on the right and drive past St. Georgen to Stein an der Traun to the Stein Castle Brewery. This convinces with the traditional art of brewing in harmony with the latest technology. The Steiner Höhlenburg, which is considered the most important cave castle in Germany, is in the immediate vicinity of the brewery and is also worth a visit. Now follow the signs to Altenmarkt ad Alz. You can confidently tackle the ascent to Baumburg Monastery, because you will be rewarded with a fabulous view. Once at the top, the brewery inn of the monastery brewery, which is idyllically situated in the monastery grounds, invites you to linger. Continue south on the “Klosterweg” via Offling to Truchtlaching, home of the Camba Bavaria brewery. This adventure bike tour takes you on to Seebruck, from where you follow the "Chiemsee Cycle Path". You cycle parallel to the east bank of the Chiemsee past Chieming and on to the Hirschau Bay, which is part of the "Grabenstätter Moos" nature reserve. A nature observation tower offers a beautiful panorama over Lake Chiemsee and the Achen delta and enables rare birds to be spotted. We continue to Grabenstätt. A detour to another, protected natural paradise is worthwhile here: the Toteissee Tüttensee hidden in the forest, the insider tip among the Chiemgau lakes. The tour now leads back to Traunstein via Marwang and Einham, where the three breweries offer tasty and hearty refreshments. Walk in the footsteps of time and learn interesting facts about the history of the Chiemgau! Along the “Chiemsee and Alz, hops and malt” brewery cycle tour, those interested in history can look forward to the Celtic farmstead in Stöffling, the Bedaium Roman Museum in Seebruck and the Roman Museum in Grabenstätt.
