With Eurobike you cycle through the south of Germany and discover the most beautiful corners of Bavaria.

The starting point of the tour is the beautiful Munich in Bavaria. Culture Tip: Plan a city tour in Munich before starting the cycle tour. You will be amazed by the many cultural attractions and the charming city centre. By the way: A trip to the Hofbräuhaus Munich absolutely must be on the programme.

With every turn of the wheel, the Bavarian way of life comes closer, because every town has its own history. Murnau am Staffelsee, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Bad Tölz and the Tegernsee are just a few of the highlights of the Munich Lake District. What should you expect? Wild, romantic valleys, beautiful landscapes and lush alpine meadows as far as the eye can see. Take a relaxed cycle from A to B and enjoy the Bavarian flair to the fullest. The best thing after a hard day of cycling? Arriving in one of our lovingly selected and charming hotels! Let yourself be pampered!

  • Murnauer Moos: On day three you cycle through the largest moorland in Central Europe, the Murnauer Moos nature reserve. As you make your way through the unspoiled landscape you can let your mind rund wild and simply enjoy the scenery. When you arrive in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, the Eurobike team recommends a ride on the Zugspitzbahn at 2,962 metres. You will be impressed!
  • Bad Tölz: Visit the location of the famous German TV show 'Der Bulle von Tölz'. Scenic landscapes and the Isarwinkel with its crystal clear, turquoise-blue water line the cycle path to Bad Tölz. A special feature are the richly deocrated town houses and the film set of the now legendary crime series where Otfried Fischer starred as a police investigator.
  • Bavarian beer in the Hofbräuhaus: It would really be a shame not to have visited the famous Hofbräuhaus in Munich. And then relax in the beautiful Roomers Hotel in Munich. Luxury!

Fantastic cycle paths, flat side roads and a few short climbs make up the tour character of the Munich Lakes with charm. Overall, the eight-day cycle tour through Bavaria is a simple tour and is perfect for leisure cyclists!

itinerary at a glance

Start your trip with an exploration of Munich and taste the Bavarian beer at the Hofbräuhaus. Fantastic natural scenery is offered by the Murnauer Moos, the Zugspitze, the Isarwinkel and the Lake Sylvensteinsee.

Welcome briefing and bike fitting. The capital city of Bavaria is awaiting you and invites you to visit its many attractions (English Garden, Town Hall, Hofbräuhaus,…)

From Munich, the tour starts with a bike ride through Forstenrieder Park to Lake Starnberg. Then you will cycle on the lakeside road to Seeshaupt. You will continue on wonderful ways through rustic Bavarian towns, past the Lake Osterseem and Lake Riegsee to Murnau am Staffelsee.

First, you will cycle through the natural reserve called Murnauer Moos (largest swamp area of Central Europe). Later, you will continue your tour through unspoiled nature following the River Loisach to Garmisch-Partenkirchen. The stage is intentionally brief. Therefore, there is still enough time for an individual trip with the Zugspitzbahn, a mountain railway. At an altitude of 2962 meters, you will have a wonderful view of the Alps.

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.

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. The location 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.

The Isar bike way leads you from Bad Tölz over Geretsried and Wolfratshausen directly 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.
