Weg
Cycle north along the Tegernsee, following the lakeside path you followed the previous day. There is a short section of the sidewalk through town that is not open to bicycles. Depending on the traffic in town, either cross the road and ride along it, or it may be best to simply walk your bike along this short section.
Just after passing the sign indicating you are in Gmund, there is a parking lot on the left. Go into the parking lot, and cross the train tracks, descending to a building and following a path that shortly leads into a large park.
Follow this trail as it crosses over a bridge and turns 90-degrees to the right. Shortly thereafter, there is a sharp left turn and it steeply climbs just a few meters up to the level of the main road in Gmund.
Turn left on the main road (Wiesseerstrasse), and follow this. The bike path alternates between the left and right side of the road. At this point, you are back on the Bodensee-Königsee Radweg, although there is not much signage.
Just after passing the turn-off for Kaltenbrunn, there is a paved path that branches out to the right (at a 45-degree angle), and climbs. There is no signage, but this is your route. The signage improves after this turn.
The route continues climbing, eventually climbing up through a golf course to a resort area. This is your high point. But the last push to the golf course is on cobblestone, which adds to the challenge. There are signs at the golf course that cyclists should walk their bikes through the area, so please be respectful. You may be happy to comply at this point.
The fun descent begins after the golf resort, as the route descends to Marienstein and eventually to Bad Tölz. There are some unexpected turns though, so don't get too caught up in the enjoyment. Keep your eyes open for signs, particularly those that may be meant for cyclists coming from the other direction.
Eventually, you end up on gravel. There is one short section here where the route takes a 45-degree left turn onto another gravel road. This is steep and loose, and many will prefer to walk the first few meters here.
Continue the descent into the Altstadt (old city) of Bad Tölz. There are some short climbs and unexpected turns within the city, prior to reaching the old city, and the bridge across the Isar River. This is the same river you rode along when leaving Munich on your way to Erding.
