Distance and timing basis
Ordered leg totals agree within rounding. Stop distances are approximate sums of rounded legs. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.
Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.
Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.
Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Food stop in Prittriching
Prittriching lies on the Lechfeld, the broad gravel plain that the River Lech built as it flowed north from the Alps towards the Danube. The village is small and agricultural, with a church, farms and a few modern houses, and the countryside around it is flat and open, given over to fields of maize, wheat and potatoes. It is a quiet place with a long view in every direction.

2. Photo stop near Penzberg
Penzberg was a coal town until 1966, when its mine closed after more than a century of operation. The miners' houses, the old headframe and a museum recall that past, but Penzberg's real surprise is cultural: its museum houses a remarkable collection of works by Heinrich Campendonk, a member of the Blue Rider group of painters, with his colourful, dreamlike paintings and glass works. It is an unexpected treasure in a small town at the edge of the Alps.
