A proper escape from Munich with roads worth waking up for. A 316 km loop that starts and ends near Neufahrn bei Freising, about 5 h 12 of riding. On the way it passes Scenic stretch near Moosinning, near Holzkirchen and Oberhaching. The climb of the day is near Grafing bei München. The line favours views over speed.
29 km on Walchensee and Kochelsee Sweep fuel gate → Walchensee and Kochelsee Sw.
Next is Scenic stretch near Moosinning.
North-east of Munich, the land flattens into a wide plain of fields, drainage ditches and scattered villages. This is the Erdinger Moos, once a vast marsh, drained over the past two centuries and now home to farms, gravel pits and, a few kilometres away, Munich's international airport. Moosinning is one of the villages on its edge, quiet and practical, with a church, a few farms and modern housing.

On a hill above the Ammersee, the onion-domed church of Andechs Monastery has drawn pilgrims for centuries, but many modern visitors come for something else: the beer. The Benedictine monks of Andechs brew some of the most celebrated beers in Bavaria, and the beer garden next to the monastery, with its view over the countryside, is famous. The climb from Herrsching through the Kiental, a narrow wooded valley, is a pleasant walk for those who want to earn their beer; riders, of course, take the road and leave the beer for later.

The nearest bigger town is Freising, perched on the Domberg above the Isar, with a cathedral and a brewery at Weihenstephan that claims to be the oldest in the world, running since 1040. That claim is proudly defended, and the brewery's tavern is a pleasant stop for a Bavarian lunch.

This Scenic stretch near Moosinning → High point near Grafing bei München stretch is for rhythm and scenery. Keep your head up, let the view breathe, and resist turning every open bend into a target. Stop once properly rather than half-stopping everywhere.
Photo stop near Holzkirchen → Oberhaching is the technical section. Hairpins, gradients and mixed traffic can stack up quickly; use low drama inputs, stay wide of centre lines and expect buses or riders appearing exactly where optimism says they will not.
Food stop near Herrsching am Ammersee → Near Adelzhausen, on the way back can flow quickly, but only if you keep village limits and junction sightlines sacred. Fast connectors are where rides get untidy when fatigue creeps in.
