Welcome briefing and bike distribution. Bavaria’s capital city is waiting with many sights…
Day 2: Munich – Murnau / Lake Staffelsee approx 65 km
From Munich you cycle through the Forstenrieder Park to Lake Starnberg. From Starnberg on cycle path directly on the lake shore to Seeshaupt. On wonderful paths through unspoilt Bavarian villages, past the Oster Lakes and the Rieg See to Murnau am Staffelsee.
Day 3: Murnau – Garmisch Partenkirchen approx 35 km
At first through the nature reserve Murnauer Moos (biggest moor region in Central Europe). Continue through the unspoilt nature, following the river Loisbach to Garmisch Partenkirchen. This stage is short on purpose, so that you can take the Zugspitzbahn to the height of 2962 m. From there wonderful view of the Alps.
Day 4: Garmisch Partenkirchen – Wallgau approx. 50 km
You bridge 300 meters of altitude to Scharnitz by train. From there you go slightly uphill through wildly romantic gorges and lush alpine fields to the source of the Isar. Back through the sunny high-lying valley with wonderful panoramas of the Karwendel and Wetterstein Mountains through Mittenwald (forest) to Wallgau – a village which still cultivates Bavarian tradition.
Day 5: Wallgau – Bad Tölz approx. 50 km
Past Isarwinkel, following the turquoise-blue water to the impressive Sylvenstein Lake, and through Lenggries across charming landscapes to Bad Tölz. The town on the junction of two trading routes, the Isar and the old salt route from Reichenhall to Allgäu, developed quickly into a blooming trading post. The richly ornamented middle class houses are evidence of the golden age.
Day 6: Bad Tölz – Lake Tegernsee – Bad Tölz approx. 40 km
Through the charming landscape of Lake Tegern to Gmund am Tegernsee with a wonderful lake panorama. Along the Gaißbach Valley back to Bad Tölz. The thermal springs of the famous spa “Alpamare” make tired muscles fit again. The Tölzer Market Street invites on a stroll in the footsteps of the famous television series “Der Bulle von Tölz” (The Cop from Tölz).
Day 7: Bad Tölz – Munich approx. 55 km
The Isar cycle path takes you through Geretsried and Wolfratshausen to Grünwald. You have to overcome a few short ascents before reaching the Bavarian capital Munich with its numerous places of interest.
Day 8: Individual departure or additional overnights
Hotel garage € 49 (for 8 days) and € 59 (for 10 days). Unguarded parking spaces, free of charge in the near of the hotel.
