Cyclists on the bridge to Seeon Monastery

Everywhere you look is fantastic mountain scenery, blooming meadows and always a view of the blue beauty. The ‘Bavarian Sea’, the Chiemsee, is your constant companion on your tour, and is always on hand to cool off tired feet. The route also boasts ancient castles and monasteries. In the evenings you spend the night in a beautiful area right on the lake. The best place to sit is on a lakeside terrace while toasting the day’s bike trip with a glass of wine!

The nice thing about a centre-based tour: you come back ‘home’ every evening and can simply relax. On the bike tour you spend the nights in two first-class hotels that impress with their Bavarian style and warm hospitality. On two wheels you cycle for seven or eight days through the Alpine foothills. On day two, a real highlight awaits you: the Eggstätter Seenplatte. It consists of 17 lakes and is full of picturesque corners. It is also the oldest nature reserve in Bavaria.

Visit the Herreninsel and Fraueninsel:  A ship takes you to two islands. Once there, we recommend a visit to the famous castle Herrenchiemsee of King Ludwig II. On Fraueninsel you will find the oldest German-speaking nunnery north of the Alps. Blooming gardens, pottery and fish smokehouses await you!

Foodies take note! The tour on the Chiemsee is the ideal mixture of landscape, culture and culinary delights. The Bavarian hospitality and the traditional inns with living customs create an unmistakable feel-good atmosphere. Over seven or eight days you will experience the southernmost state of Germany from its most beautiful angle. On flat paths you cycle between 40 and 65 kilometres per day. From time to time a short climb awaits you. Longer distances lead through the passable natural paths and on side roads. The landscape and the Bavarians will enchant you, promise!

Itinerary at a glance

A typical bavarian accommodation forms the basis for your relaxation, during the bike stages you will explore Lake Chiemsee and the beautiful foothills of the Alps. The Lake Eggstätt district and the Tyrolean Achental valley look particularly picturesque.

Enjoy the flair of the “Lake Pelham” after your arrival.

The oldest nature reserve in Bavaria, the Eggstätter Seenplatte, encompasses 18 lakes and is full of picturesque places. You will cycle on a relaxing tour through forests, fragrant meadows, and past pretty farms to Höslwang, with a magnificent panoramic view of the Upper Bavarian Alps. In Amerang you will find the well-known German Car Museum and the Historical Farmhouse Museum. Via Eggstätt and Breitbrunn, you will get back to Pelham.

Today, you will discover the beauty of Lake Chiemsee and the pretty places along the way. You will be enchanted by the unique nature and visit major attractions, such as the Roman Museum in Seebruck, or the Horse Museum in Arlaching. You will also have ample opportunities to swim and cool off in the refreshing waters of Lake Chiemsee.

Cycle to Prien and take the boat to the island “Herreninsel” where you can visit the famous castle Herrenchiemsee built under King Ludwig II. On your way back, you will stop at the island Fraueninsel, where you will find a well-known abbey (the oldest still-existing German-speaking female convent on the northern side of the Alps). Explore the beautiful gardens, the island potteries, the fish smoke-houses, and the romantic outdoor restaurant areas at the lake.

First you cycle via Bad Endorf to Lake Simsee with its beautiful, partially unspoilt reeds and riparian zone. The cycle paths continues along the lake through protected nature and landscape. After a few kilometres you reach at river Inn, which leads you to the center of Rosenheim with its historic downtown, many beer gardens and ornate facades. Return by train on your own.

Just a few kilometres further on and you are back at the shores of Lake Chiemsee. From there, follow the cycle path to Seebruck and continue via Truchtlaching on the river Alz to Seeon Abbey with its famous monastery complex and idyllic lake. A freshly tapped lager tastes particularly good in the idyllic beer garden!
