This circular bicycle tour runs through idyllic woodland, the Paintner Forst and the Frauenforst – perfect for an undemanding trip under shady trees on hot days.

The market square in Painten is the starting point for the Peaceful Forests Tour, which leads first of all along a tarred forest road into the Paintner Forst. The hilly route sweeps round in a wide arc, taking the cyclist deeper and deeper into the shady forest. The first clearing is reached at the former forester’s house at Irlbrunn. Here, a link road offers the option of making a detour to the Frauenhäusl, a popular bar/restaurant in a picturesque setting. The route continues through the Frauenforst to the highway, which you cross. Carry on along a cycle track, passing a former glassworks, and so back to Painten.
