The Großer Ahornboden lies at the head of the Rißtal in the Karwendel, in Tyrol, Austria: a high pasture scattered with maples 300 to 600 years old, protected since 1927. Its only road comes from Germany, through Vorderriß, so the hamlet of Hinterriß can be reached all year only through Bavaria. Beyond Hinterriß a toll road, closed from November to the end of April, leads to the maples.
This ride starts by the Sylvenstein reservoir and follows the Isar upstream to Vorderriß, where the writer Ludwig Thoma spent his first six years as the son of the forester. It crosses into Tyrol at Hinterriß, a hamlet of about 30 people split between two municipalities. Its hunting lodge was taken over in 1859 by Duke Ernst II of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. The toll road then climbs to the Großer Ahornboden, and the ride ends among the maples.
