and stays in the foothills, though a few higher mountains
are visible through the trees
Approaches
From North. B307 heading south from Tegernsee
barely gains any elevation until it passes through Glashuette.
From there its a straight km or two to the pass. Here there's
a pass sign, a bus stop and a conglomeration of houses; no
scenic view of any kind. This can be quite a busy road. The
only additional trail or shoulder, that can be used by off
road cyclists, is a rough track on the left side of the road
for the last few kms.
From South. (described downwards). There are more
turns on this side. Achensee remains on the other side of the
Austrian border, as the downhill bound biker turns right into
the Walchental
