Ben Parke commented on Day 68: Lenggries to Munich

Sounds like the isar Radweg south of München is just like it is going out to the airport: monotonous. It is at least pretty flat heading toward the airport. Stay safe in the heat, and hopefully you’ve got some more exciting cycling to come.

They seem like very gentle animals and so pretty.

It is not that the Isar Radweg is so bad, but rather a bit tedious. When not on gravel one is on a road or in a suburb, and very little of the route is really in sight of the river.

At least it wasn't gravel!

I was more expecting to put it in the pannier (sacoche!) and shake it's brains out on the Isar Radweg today.

Maybe it just needed a night in the drunk tank to dry out.

Today we will go from here (Lenggries) to Munich, so we will soon know what the Isar route is like. The bit we were on to here was just kind of non-descript and we only got one peek at the actual river.

It's 6 a.m. and I tried the computer again - it suddenly turned on! Not only is this crazy making but on tour unreliable equipment is just not good. Anyway, I put the photos in now!

I rode the section between Brenner Pass, Bruneck, Toblach, and down the Dolomites trail a ways. Brenner to roughly Franzensfest I enjoyed, but the rest of it, including the much-hyped Dolomites trail out of Toblach, were tremendously disappointing despite the scenery. Glad to know the rest of it is worth missing as well. Here’s hoping you find some good trail soon. I’m afraid you will find the remainder of the Isar Radweg to be quite dreadful based on YouTube vlogs of watched about it.

We would definitely NOT recommend the Munich-Venice route to anyone, ever, on any kind of bicycle. There are other long distance north south routes that are better planned and would be more enjoyable.

I would like to personally thank you and Dodie for this invaluable research. I, too, despise hills and gravel. Recumbents do poorly on both. And traffic is a definite no-go for me. I shall forever keep blog entry in mind when planning future trips.
