We are so glad you joined us today! In mid-March, we caught a perfectly sunny day to ride from the historic streets of Partenkirchen to the stunning Eibsee lake. This is a virtual bike ride through the heart of the Bavarian Alps, designed for those who love high-quality Slow TV and immersive virtual cycling experiences.
This was a challenging e-bike route with some steep segments, but the iconic view of the majestic Zugspitze was worth every pedal stroke. We’ve kept the natural sounds of the tires on gravel and the mountain wind to make your indoor workout feel truly real. Whether you are on a Peloton, a stationary bike, or just relaxing on your sofa, let’s explore these fairytale landscapes together!
Pack your water bottle and let’s head into the mountains!
📍 In this video:
– Exploring the 2,000-year-old streets of Partenkirchen.
– The 1936 Olympic Ski Jump legacy.
– The “moment” — a breathtaking view of the Zugspitze from the fields.
– The turquoise waters of Lake Eibsee (formed by an ancient rockfall).
– Unexpected spring snow on the forest trails.
