After a short climb you go down to the water course at 540 meters of altitude close to Jenbach. You can decide to sleep on the lake maybe camping, or continuing to the river Inn and the cycle path just 6 km from the Achensee. You flank the lake on the eastern side following what is called Bike Trail Tirol reaching in a short time Buchau and Rofangarten. Cycling to the east you meet the river Walchen and, a bit further, on the border with Austria, the red trail coming from Munich.

A rather steep stretch awaits us on the opposite lake shore: you’ll touch 860 meters before going down. The most evocative stretch is when you cross the water to reach Fall and then start again to flank the shimmering lake waters. The cycle way goes up, one cannot deny it, touches 800 meters close to the artificial lake Sylvenstein, but the show is amazing. To the left of the trail the mountains almost touches 1,400 meters and are rich in streams going towards the Isar. The Munich - Venice continues to follow the traces of the Via Bavarica Tyrolensis among dirt stretches and kilometers on the asphalt, remaining anyway always out of the traffic. The Isar continues to be a firm reference point while cycling to the south and Lenngreis. The heart of Bad Tölz is in Marktstraße, a lively, colored street where to stop to drink a coffee or stroll among the shops and the pastel color facades. If you want to relax a bit you can consider the idea of finishing your first stage right in town. You distance quickly from the lake finding yourself along the Weissach that you follow for many kilometers, till you meet the river Walchen and the second alternative trail from Munich. This German basin houses on its banks an ancient Benedictine abbey dating to many centuries ago (they say VIII century as period of first building): from the Friendship Cycle Way (here corresponds to the Via Bavarica Tyrolensis) passing on the western bank of the lake you can spot it and take a picture of it rather easily, if instead you want to come closer I advise you to follow the eastern shore of the lake till Rottach- Egern where you’ll reconnect to the trail or, alternatively, go down to the resort along the cycle way and then go up again the stretch of eastern shore till the abbey, nowadays known as Tegernsee Castle. The water course is reached a little bit north of the lake Tegern (Tegernsee). By bicycle you definitely head south towards the river Mangfall, tributary of the Inn, only 58 km long.

In Holzkirchen, 16,000 inhabitants, you can have a break thinking that this place was born in the XIII century and, after the years of the divided Germany had the merit of hosting on its own territory Radio Free Europe, a radio station that transmitted news of the west in the east part of the country.
