Munich – Salzburg

After receiving your personalized tour information and picking up your bike, immerse yourself in the charm of Bavaria’s capital. Relax in one of its shady beer gardens with a cool “Radlermaß” (Shandy) to get ready for the adventure ahead. Explore a museum, stroll through the English Garden, and wander the Viktualienmarkt—perfect ways to ease into your journey.

The Isar Cycle Path takes you through lush riparian forests, past Wolfratshausen and Geretsried, and on to Bad Tölz. Situated at the crossroads of two historic trade routes—the Isar River and the old salt road from Reichenhall to the Allgäu—Bad Tölz quickly grew into a bustling hub of commerce. The ornately decorated townhouses still bear witness to this prosperous era. Stroll down the lively market street and you’ll find yourself walking in the footsteps of the popular German TV crime series “Der Bulle von Tölz.”

The route takes you through the picturesque Tegernsee countryside, gently rolling over hills until you reach the lake. From Gmund, you can take in breathtaking views of the water and the Alpine peaks beyond. It’s the perfect spot for a scenic boat ride or a refreshing swim. From here, the Bodensee–Königssee Cycle Route continues onward to Lake Schliersee.

Hotel (example): Gästehaus am Kurpark

This stage begins with a ride along the lakeshore, followed by a gently rolling route to Bad Feilnbach. Thanks to its mild climate and more than 30,000 fruit trees, this spa town is often called the “Bavarian Merano.” The charming town is just as colorful and inviting as its nickname suggests.

Hotel (example): Kistlerwirt

You’ll cycle through the Kollerfilze—the largest peatland in Bavaria—before arriving in Neubeuern. Throughout the town, two crossed boathooks catch the eye, symbolizing its rich heritage as a former market hub on the River Inn, once thriving on shipbuilding. The route then leads you through Frasdorf, nestled at the foot of the Chiemgau Alps, and onward to Lake Chiemsee. Your stage ends in Prien, Bernau or Aschau. We recommend a boat ride to the islands of Herrenchiemsee and Frauenchiemsee.

The mountains grow more prominent with every mile, yet the cycling route remains pleasantly flat. Passing through the “Bergener Moos” at the foot of the Chiemgau region’s local peak, the Hochfelln (1,674 m / 5,492 ft), the path leads you via Bad Adelholzen—famous for its healing spring—to Siegsdorf, where you might stop to visit the natural history museum. Following the Red Traun River, the route continues into the idyllic town of Inzell. Here, traditional Lüftlmalerei (alpine frescoes) and flower-adorned townhouses define the charm of this spa resort.

Hotel (example): Alpinhotel INzeller

Nestled between towering peaks, the route winds through Piding, around Mount Hochstaufen, and along the Saalach River to Bad Reichenhall. Take time to visit the Saltworks’ spring house, the impressive Minster of St. Zeno, and the tranquil spa gardens. Soon after, you’ll cross the Bavarian-Austrian border and reach Salzburg—the enchanting city of Mozart.
