Cycling break of a couple on the shore of the Ammersee at the harbour of Herrsching

A tour made for leisure cyclists! Over the course of ten days, you'll explore the benefits of the Munich Lake District - with plenty of time. The beautiful region in the south of the Bavarian capital has so much to offer. Look forward to unique nature, lakes shimmering in the sunlight, delicious delicacies and the unique Bavarian hospitality. Come with us on an unforgettable tour!

Take in the vibrancy of city life as soon as you arrive in Munich, because there is plenty to see and discover. The first stop is the elegant Lake Starnberg, which has always been a popular holiday destination for the rich and famous - after all, Empress Sissi also came from Possenhofen.

With Murnau, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Mittenwald, Wallgau and Bad Tölz, you will pass Bavarian gems, where one is more charming and picturesque than the last. Get to know the locals and their traditions and don't miss the excellent cuisine. On day 5, a bike-free day awaits you in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. More known for winter sports, the town is also a highlight in summer. Speaking of highlights, how about a ride up to the Zugspitze - at 2,962 metres, wonderful views await. Via a detour to Lake Tegernsee, the tour finally returns to Munich.

  • The English Garden in Munich invites you to linger. Sun worshippers at the Schwabinger Bach, surfers at the Eisbachwelle, sportsmen and musicians on every corner - the green part of Munich spreads a great atmosphere.
  • Plenty of swimming opportunities in the lakes: Splash! A skilful jump and the refreshment is perfect. Whether Tegernsee, Riegsee or Osterseen - hardly any region offers as many wonderful bathing spots as the Munich area.
  • Magnificent views of the Zugspitze: A constant companion, it will always catch your eye - it has the size to do so! From numerous points on the tour you can enjoy wonderful views of Germany's highest mountain in the Wetterstein range.
  • Bavarian customs in Bad Tölz: Festivals, markets and events characterise the living traditions of the town, above all the Leonhardi ride out, which is famous far beyond the borders. Take a look at the typical traditional costume and try the traditional delicacies, because all this is part of the customs.

You cycle between 30 and 60 km on the different days of the tour. A rest day is planned at the halfway point, during which you can do as you please. A complementary train ride and a Weißwurst breakfast are included during the tour.

From Munich, the tour starts with a bike ride through Forstenrieder Park to Lake Starnberg. From Starnberg, you will continue your tour on the bike path next to the lake to Ambach or even further to Bernried. Enjoy some time at the lake with its crystal clear waters and wonderful views of the surrounding mountains.

Hotel (example): Landhotel Huber am See

You will cycle on magnificent cycle path through primitive, Bavarian villages past the Lake Osterseen and  Lake Riegsee until you get to Murnau am Staffelsee. On your way, you will cycle past lots of lakes, which will invite you for a swim to cool down. The connection here between art and music makes its mark on both the locals and the architecture.

Hotel (example): Angerbräu

First, you will cycle through the nature reserve called Murnauer Moos (largest swamp area in Central Europe). Later, you will continue your tour through unspoilt nature following the river Loisach to Garmisch Partenkirchen. Take some time and stroll through the town centre with its world famous Ludwig Street (Ludwigstraße).

Hotel (example): Vier Jahreszeiten

Today you can take a ride on the cog railway up Germany’s highest mountain, the Zugspitze. You are to organise this yourself if you want to do so.

Hotel (example): Vier Jahreszeiten

By bike you cycle from Garmisch Partenkirchen via Klais to the beautiful Barmsee. Afterwards you have the option of cycling directly to your overnight accomodation or taking a detour via Mittenwald and Scharnitz to the source of Isar. A total of 300 metres in altitude are covered to Scharnitz, from there slightly uphill through wild and romantiv gorges and lush alpine meadows to the source of the Isar. Afterwards, you will cycle back through a sunny valley where you will have a marvellous panoramic view of the mountains of Karwendel and Wettersteingebirge, passing Mittenwald and finally arriving in Wallgau – a place where the Bavarian tradition is still a part of everyday life.

Hotel (example): Gasthof Post

Passing the Isarwinkel, you will follow the crystal-clear, turquoise waters of the impressive Lake Sylvenstein. Cycling through charming landscapes, you will pass Lenggries and finally arrive in Bad Tölz. Bad Tölz is situated at the crossroads of two trade routes - the river Isar and the old salt route from Reichenhall to Allgäu - quickly became a thriving trading centre. The ornate mansions testify the golden age.

Hotel (example): Kolberbräu

You will cycle through the scenic Tegernsee countryside to Gmund at Lake Tegernsee where you will have a beautiful panoramic view of the lake. Following the valley Gaißbach, you will come back to Bad Tölz. The Tölzer Market Street invites you to learn more about the famous television series “Der Bulle von Tölz”.

Hotel (example): Kolberbräu

The Isar bike path leads you from Bad Tölz, via Geretsriedand then to Grünwald. After a few short climbs you will arrive back in Bavaria’s state capital Munich, where you can explore its countless sights and attractions.
