Bannwaldsee circuit

The starting point of this bike route is the Karbrücke in the Brunnen district. Cross the stone bridge and follow the bike path along the Mühlberger Ach towards Mühlberg. From there, continue cycling on the bike path past the campsite. Afterwards, the path winds picturesquely between the B17 and the shore of Bannwaldsee.

Soon you will reach an idyllic natural pedal pool – a welcome refreshment for tired legs. After a short climb, you arrive at Bayerniederhofen. Here you pass the St. Michael church and after about 300 meters turn left towards Berghof. The path now noticeably ascends.

From Berghof, the route leads along the road to the small hamlet of Greith. From here it goes steadily downhill until you reach Hegratsrieder See – one of the warmest bathing lakes in the region. Directly above, the Hegratsrieder Hof with its chapel towers picturesquely.

The route now continues with gentle ups and downs, always accompanied by wonderful views of Forggensee. Soon you will reach the small chapel Maria am Weg, ideal for a short break.

From here you cycle relaxed back to Brunnen. After a few minutes, you cross the Karbrücke again – your starting point.

We recommend: cycling helmet, weather-appropriate clothing, drinks, first aid kit, and a repair kit.
