Cyclists in front of Andechs Monastery

Bavaria means cosiness, warmth, friendliness, tradition and closeness to nature. This tour will be sporty, but you should indulge in the delicacies of Bavarian cuisine. Roasts, dumplings, Bavarian creme and beer, the list of fine foods and drinks is long. Then take a swim in the beautiful lakes of Munich's south. An ideal balance, what do you say?

The tour starts and ends in the Bavarian metropolis of Munich. The city not only offers many sights and attractions, but also has its very own flair. Observe how tradition and modernity merge - be it in the way of life, in gastronomy or when young and old meet. As soon as you leave the city in the direction of Forstenrieder Park, you will notice the influences of nature. Peace, contemplation and relaxation alongside physical activity.

With Lake Starnberg, Lake Kochelsee and Lake Staffelsee, idyllic and sparkling water in its purest form await you on the first few days. On day 4, the tour leads through the Murnauer Moos, the largest of its kind in Central Europe at 32 km2, first to Garmisch-Partenkirchen and on to Wallgau, idyllically nestled between the Karwendel and Wetterstein mountains. With the Sylvensteinsee and the Tegernsee, two more scenic highlights await before the tour continues to the charming Bad Tölz.

  • The idyllic Lake Starnberg and the surrounding villages have a lot to offer: Water sports, art and culture. But what you should definitely do: Enjoy - the magnificent views, the flair around the lake and the sophisticated atmosphere.
  • The decorated market square in Murnau: Did you know that the famous artist Wassily Kandinsky once called Murnau his home? This left a lasting impression on the town, which is still considered a meeting place for art and culture lovers today. Stroll along the beautiful market square, where galleries and studios alternate with cafés and boutiques.
  • The Lüftlmalerei in Bad Tölz: A walk through the beautiful "Alpine town" is a must for every visitor. Look at the colourful facades along the market square, maybe stop by the town museum or the "Bulle von Tölz" museum and admire the Calvary including the church.
  • The English Garden in Munich is not only home to some of the city's most famous sights (Japanese Tea House, Monopteros, Chinese Tower), but is also an oasis of relaxation. On nice days, watch the colourful hustle and bustle, listen to music or watch games and sports being played.

Five stages with a length of 60 to 85 km have to be covered. You should therefore be in good physical condition, even though the route is relatively easy as there are only a few climbs to master.
