Itinerary
Today, there will be a briefing, where you can gather information for the forthcoming tour. Rental bikes will also be distributed, and bike fitting will take place. Welcome to Munich, the capital of Bavaria. Why not start your tour by visiting one of the many beer gardens? You can get into the mood for the bike tour by drinking a “Radlermaß” (a glass of beer and lemonade).
Today’s route will take you on the Isar cycle path. You will ride through green forests, via Wolfratshausen and Geretsried, to Bad Tölz. This town, located at the crossroads of two major trade routes, quickly became a thriving trading centre in times gone by. The ornate mansions that still stand to this day are a testament to this golden age.
On your second ride, you will cycle through the scenic landscape of Lake Tegernsee, passing over some gently rolling hills, before you reach Lake Tegernsee. In Gmund, you can stop to take in the magnificent panoramic view of the lake. We recommend either taking a boat trip or even going for a swim! Later, the route will continue, taking you along the Bodensee-Königssee bike path until you reach Lake Schliersee.
Today’s ride will begin directly along the banks of the lake shore and then onto slightly hillier roads, as you head into Bad Feilnbach. This area benefits from a mild climate and features more than 30,000 fruit trees; due to this, it is often referred to as the ‘Bavarian Merano’.
Your ride will continue through the largest peat mining area of Bavaria, the Kollerfilze. Soon you will find yourself in Neubeuern. All over the town, you will see two crossed ship hooks. This is the emblem of Neubeuern and is a reference to the shipbuilding industry, which was once the main source of income for the town. After Neubeuern, you will cycle, via Frasdorf at the foot of the Chiemgau Mountains, to Lake Chiemsee.
The “Bavarian sea”, as the lake is sometimes known, is the largest lake in Bavaria and is a well-known recreation area, which can offer many pastimes to its visitors. We can also recommend taking a boat trip to the islands of Herrenchiemsee and Frauenchiemsee, the largest of the lake’s islands, which are both home to fascinating historical sites.
Although the surrounding mountains are getting higher and higher, the bike path you are following stays almost flat. You will cycle through the “Bergener Moos” at the foot of Mount Hochfelln (1,674 metres), via Bad Adelholzen (healing spring), to Siegsdorf (natural history museum). From there, your journey will continue, along the river Rote Traun, until you reach the traditional town of Inzell. The famous Lüftlmalerei paintings on the beautifully decorated townhouses are typical of this sort of health resort.
The route runs narrowly between the mountains via Piding around the Hochstaufen and along the Saalach to Bad Reichenhall. After visiting the Saline Springhouse, St. Zeno Minster or the spa gardens, you cycle across the Bavarian-Austrian border to the Mozart city of Salzburg.
