From the charming village of Steeg, cycle through blooming meadows past Holzgau, where brightly painted houses adorned with traditional Lüftlmalerei add character to the townscape. Elbigenalp, the geographic heart of the Lech Valley, is renowned for its traditional woodcarving, and the parish church in Häselgehr is well worth a visit. The day concludes in the peaceful village of Stanzach, set amid spectacular mountain scenery.

After a few kilometers, reach the Lechzopf, followed by an impressive suspension bridge spanning the river—perfect for the adventurous. A picturesque lake with picnic spots offers a refreshing break before crossing the border into Bavaria. Just before the famous Lechfall, stroll along a treetop walkway with stunning views, then continue to Füssen, where the town’s historic charm warmly welcomes you.

Today you’ll enter the world of Bavaria’s fairy-tale king. From afar, the iconic Neuschwanstein Castle towers above the valley like something from a storybook.

From Füssen, follow the cycle path along the sparkling Forggensee. Soon, wide meadows and fields open up, and the route remains pleasantly flat, making it ideal for children. At Lechsee, pause by the shore to play or relax. End the day in Schongau, enjoying its charming old town or a cozy beer garden.

From Schongau, cycle leisurely along the Lech on easily manageable bike paths. Along the way, charming stops invite exploration: the Roman Museum in Epfach brings history to life, while the pilgrimage church in Vilgertshofen surprises with its colorful murals. In Landsberg am Lech, a lively old town with winding streets awaits, offering plenty of space to explore.

From Landsberg, cycle first through Kaufering along a well-preserved section of the ancient Roman road, Via Claudia—a fascinating experience for children as well. Continue through Königsbrunn and Friedberg toward Augsburg. Here, the Fuggerei, with its narrow streets and quaint courtyards, feels like a small town within a town. Numerous historic buildings make Augsburg a fitting and memorable finale to the journey.
