Our most beautiful regions in Southern Germany

Bavaria

The world knows and loves Bavaria for its stunning mountains, traditional Bavarian attire, hearty local cuisine, and, of course, the Oktoberfest. But with its idyllic lakes, majestic peaks, historic towns, and perfectly maintained cycling routes, Bavaria is also the ideal setting for some of our most popular cycling tours. The enchanting Munich Lakes tour, with its fabulous cycling paths, delights countless Eurobike guests every year. And the cycling tour along the Romantic Road and Bavarian lakes never fails to spark excitement among our travelers. Did you know you can also enjoy a magical ride along the Danube Cycle Path or the Altmühltal Cycle Path here? So, let’s head to Bavaria!

Palatinate

The magical Palatinate isn’t just a paradise for wine lovers. Cycle through romantic vineyards, charming valleys, and picturesque towns, and make sure to indulge in every opportunity for a wine tasting. Germany’s second-largest wine region wins guests over with its warm hospitality and irresistible charm. One of our most popular tours is the Palatinate Wine tour based in Bad Dürkheim. The distance tour from Speyer to Heidelberg to Worms also has that special something, attracting countless enthusiastic cyclists year after year. Let yourself be inspired by the beauty of the Palatinate.

Lake Constance

Germany’s largest lake, nestled at the crossroads of three countries, has always been a magnet for travelers from around the globe. It’s also a favorite among cyclists. The beautifully designed cycling routes, enchanting scenery, and comfortable hotels in this region make a cycling vacation here the highlight of the year. Set out on the Lake Constance Cycle Path, weaving between Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, and soak in the variety along the way. Or maybe you’d prefer a distance tour? The cycling tour from Lake Constance to Königssee is an experience you won’t soon forget.

Discover charming towns, savor a glass of crisp Franconian wine, and enjoy the peaceful rhythm of cycling at your own pace. How about a cycling tour from Bamberg to Aschaffenburg?

 

 

Travel Stories about our cycle tours in Southern Germany

What our Guests say

The Palatinate Wine Cycle Tour was simply a brilliant break for us. The route was perfect for exploring this beautiful wine region. We particularly enjoyed the leisurely stops in the little villages and the many vineyards. We were able to enjoy everything at our own pace, without having to rush. The luggage transfer also made the whole experience much more relaxed. We’d definitely recommend it.

Klaus Naumann

A brilliant tour, easy to follow, and navigation using the app was no problem at all. The hotels were all fine too. We had a brilliant week.

Karin K.

I’ve done this cycle route twice now, and it’s been great fun both times (in 2017 and 2023). A well-signposted and easy-to-follow route around Lake Constance. Stunning views of the lake and the surrounding countryside. An easy ride with no major inclines.

Useful Information about your cycle tour in Southern Germany

The climate in Southern Germany

The climate in Southern Germany is just as varied as the landscape. Mild temperatures and plenty of sunshine characterise the Palatinate, whilst Lake Constance and Bavaria are influenced by temperate and alpine climates. This creates ideal conditions for enjoyable cycling holidays in many places.

The cuisine in Southern Germany

Hearty, down-to-earth and brimming with regional specialities: that’s probably the best way to describe South German cuisine. From Bavarian dumplings to Palatinate delicacies, traditional recipes offer a truly delightful experience.

In the footsteps of royalty

Magnificent castles and stately homes in Southern Germany tell tales of times gone by. Whether around Lake Constance or in Bavaria, even from the saddle of a bicycle you’ll repeatedly come across impressive reminders of aristocratic history.
