The Isar at low level in a gravel bed surrounded by trees and mountains

Are you planning an active holiday for the whole family? Then the Isar cycle path in the heart of Bavaria is the right destination for you! The whole family can cycle through the imposing mountains in Southern Germany as you travel along the glacier-green Isar. One thing is guaranteed: the kids will not be bored! In addition to the second largest lake in Bavaria, Lake Starnberg, you can also admire the highest mountain in the region – the Zugspitze.

Spend seven-days together as a family and forget the stress of everyday life! This tour is not always made on two wheels, on day five you can do a individual canoe or SUP-Tour on the lake Sylvensteinsee.

Adventure tip: Grab a canoe and paddle across the lake.

Don’t want to lug your own set of wheels with you? No problem! The Eurobike team have a huge range of rental bikes for you and your family.

  • Learn new things by playing: On the section between Murnau am Staffelsee and Garmisch-Partenkirchen you cycle through the largest moorland in Central Europe – the nature reserve of Murnauer Moos. There are many interesting things to learn as you wander along one of the park’s trails.
  • Adventure playground and paddling possibilities: In Krün, the children will leap off their bikes. The ‘Flößers’ playground offers not only adventurous climbing opportunities, but also a BMX-run. And if it gets too hot you can always take a dip in one of the refreshing mountain lakes.

Seven eventful days on a quiet, family-friendly cycling route await you and your loved ones. The tour kicks off in Ambach/Bernried on Lake Starnberg as you cycle past 19 small lakes and a unique landscape. The sections are not too long so the children can take on all stages in a good mood. Between 30 and 40 kilometres per day can be taken on by both big and small cyclists.

itinerary at a glance

The glistening water of Lake Starnberg, Lake Kochel and the Osterseen (a group of over 20 lakes) is very inviting for a swim and a break by the lake’s edge. Bavarians love their cuisine and will spoil you with their delicacies such as Schupfnudeln (a type of dumpling similar to gnocchi), roast pork or apple strudel.

Arrive at Lake Starnberg and move into your accommodation. The travel documents and the rental bikes (if booked) are in your hotel

Hotel example: Landhotel Huber am See

Fresh and raring to go, you will start your cycle tour in Bavaria along the edge of Lake Starnberg. Then you will continue cycling through the nature protection area “Osterseen” (Easter Lakes) where 19 small lakes form a unique highland moor area. A true free time paradise, which invites you to go for a swim. Next, you cycle past one of Bavaria’s warmest Lakes – the lake Froschhauser and then you will arrive in Murnau. There is enough time for you to have a look at one of the museums or to wonder through the colourful old town.

Hotel example: Angerbräu

Today you cycle through central Europe’s largest moorland area – the nature protection area “Murnauer Moos”. Whether you take the barefoot trail or the moorland educational trail: it is exciting for both young and old. Then you follow the river Loisach until you get to Garmisch Partenkirchen. But before you get to where you will be staying tonight, it is worth taking a detour to Farchant to go along the forest discovery track and see the Kuhflucht cascades. A great destination for both children and friends of nature.

Hotel example: Vier Jahreszeiten

Enjoy a view of Germany’s highest mountain, the Zugspitze. Then you set off! Along today’s stage there are lots of opportunities for a quick swim or cooling off in one of the refreshing mountain lakes. Take a detour to the adventure play area in Krün until you get and then continue your way along the crystal-clear turquoise blue water until you get to the centre of Fall.

Hotel example: Jäger von Fall

Today you will leave the picturesque Lake Sylvenstein and continue your way. You will cross mighty dam walls and cycle along the river Isar via Lenggries to Bad Tölz. Water lovers swim in the between times in natural outdoor pools or in fun pools. Nature friends explore the nature discovery trail along the Isar and climbers visit the high ropes park in Isarwinkel. At the end of the stage, you will arrive in Bad Tölz, which spreads its Bavarian charm with its historical market road.

Hotel example: Hotel am Wald

At the end of your cycle tour, you head back to the second largest lake in Bavaria. If you haven’t already, you should take a break in a shady beer garden today and try out the regional Bavarian food. Once you have arrived at the lake side, you can relax wonderfully. Take a boat ride across the lake or enjoy one of the tasty homemade pastries in one of the many cafes. Maybe you will spot one of the celebs that often head to lake Starnberg.
