The tour begins in Ambach or Bernried on Lake Starnberg. Upon arrival, enjoy the beauty of the region in peace and quiet. Treat yourself to a delicious pastry and watch the world go by – Lake Starnberg is a hotspot for the rich and famous after all.

Now it really begins! Past small villages, head towards Murnau am Staffelsee. It is truly a picturesque place, because it is peppered with galleries and studios and was once the home of great artists such as Wassily Kandinsky. On day 3, Bad Tölz is waiting, which is not only famous for the German tv series ‘Der Bulle von Tölz’. You can’t miss the variety of lakes that you cycle past: Riegsee, Kochelsee and the Osterseen invite you to take a dip in the clear water.

  • The idyllic Lake Starnberg: The people of Munich already know why it is at the top of their list of excursions. Germany’s fifth largest lake is a real feast for the eyes. Off you go, for example, to the Bernried beach and jump from the jetty into the lake and cool off. Tip: take a wooden boat to the Roseninsel. Even Empress Sisi was impressed by its beauty.
  • Magnificent views of the Zugspitze: Anyone who is out and about in the area around Murnau will not be able to miss it: the Zugspitze. A leisurely cycle includes views of the Wetterstein Mountains, home to Germany’s highest mountain.
  • The Marktstrasse in Bad Tölz: Colourful houses with wonderful decorations adorn the centre of Bad Tölz. One spot or another may be familiar from the German tv show. Marktstrasse is now a pedestrian zone and invites you to stroll and indulge.
  • The turquoise blue Isar: Again and again, the route crosses the Isar, which originates as a wild mountain river in Tyrol meanders through Bavaria. When the limestone of the Karawendel Mountains shimmers in the sun, they appear in a beautiful turquoise green.

The leisurely stages are between 30 and 50 kilometres long, so that you can enjoy your short holiday to the full. With the exception of a few climbs, the route is mostly flat.

Itinerary at a glance

Bavaria has it all – the view of the Wetterstein Mountains and from the Zugspitze is a feast for the eyes, while culinary delights await in Bad Tölz's Marktstraße (Market Street). Lake Starnberg invites you to stroll and swim.

Your first walk along Lake Starnberg or even a refreshing swim already awaits today.

Hotel (example): Landhotel Huber am See

Initially the cycle path leads you to the southern shores of Lake Starnberg until Seeshaupt. You cycle along marvellous paths through original Bavarian villages, past the Osterseen lakes and Lake Riegsee until you reach Murnau on Lake Staffelsee.

Hotel (example): Angerbräu

Past the Kochelsee and Benediktbeuern and through the atmospheric landscape to Bad Tölz. The place at the intersection of two trade routes – the Isar and the old salt road from Bad Reichenhall to the Allgäu – quickly became a hub for trading. The richly decorated town houses take you back to this heyday.

Hotel (example): Kolberbräu

For the finale, another casual stage via soft rolling hills and through lush meadows back to the starting point of this round trip. If you have not done it already, we recommend a swim in the crystal clear waters of Lake Starnberg as a final highlight of this tour.
