The state building authority in Rosenheim wants to connect both places with a cycle path.

The project has been included in the new cycle path program, the planning is ongoing.

But the task is demanding.

Miesbach / Weyarn

- The way from Miesbach to Weyarn is a good eight kilometers long - a route that could be easily done by bike - if there were a bike path.

Currently only driving on the State Road 2073 remains, but that should change.

Because the state building authority in Rosenheim is planning - as reported - the construction of a cycle path between the two municipalities.

“We're still pretty much at the beginning,” says Matthias Kreuz, who is responsible for planning at the state building authority.

Recently there was a meeting with Miesbach's mayor Gerhard Braunmiller and his Weyarner colleague Leo Wöhr.

“Both support the project.” And it has also been included in the Free State's cycle path program.

Measurements are currently being made, planning is being carried out and the land acquisition plan is being drawn up.

Because the purchase of the land that is necessary for the construction is a matter for the municipalities.

Areas away from the state road remain in their possession; the Free State buys off areas along the state road on the basis of the guideline values.

Land negotiations are crucial

How quickly the project can be implemented also depends on the mayor's negotiations.

“That is why we cannot yet say in detail how the route should run,” explains Wöhr.

Because experience has shown that property owners would not like it so much if their areas are publicly planned without having been informed beforehand.

Difficult route planning

And route planning is not going to be easy - the topography alone makes sure of that. “We have places that are narrowed by embankments,” says Kreuz. Or where the available space is scarce due to patches of forest. There you can't just grow next to the road, you have to look for alternative routes. "That is technically quite demanding." This is already shown by the first construction phase, which leads from the roundabout in the district town to Pienzenau. Immediately behind the roundabout, due to the forest, the first bottleneck is waiting. But those are not the only risks. According to Kreuz, there are currently ecological problems with the planned cycle path between Hausham and Gmund - in the form of the protected sand lizard.

Wöhr is relieved that the cycle path is now turning into the concrete phase.

Together with the former mayor Ingrid Pongratz, he initiated the connection and is now happy that the project is co-financed by the state.

“That will cost a few million.

As a congregation, you arrogate yourself. "

Offer an alternative to the car

It is important to Braunmiller and Wöhr to offer an alternative to the car, especially for short journeys.

"In addition, this is also advantageous for our inner-city development," says Wöhr.

Above all, however, the cycle network in the district is growing.

Because from Weyarn you can already cycle via Darching and Holzkirchen to Otterfing.

The costs of the cycle path are currently just as open as the time frame.

It also depends on the state's budgetary position, says Kreuz, and emphasizes that the state building authority is behind the project: "It won't fail because of us."
