From the Alps to Augsburg

Starting from the source of the Lech, in the middle of the Vorarlberg mountains, you will cycle between imposing peaks, past lush meadows and through the seemingly endless countryside. With the wild, unspoilt Lech as your constant companion, offering great photo opportunities, you will keep coming across small mountain villages. After Tyrol, you’ll reach Bavaria, where you leave the mountains behind, and the hilly foothills of the Alps begin. Famous royal castles sit enthroned in Füssen, whilst in Schongau, the historical old town is a delight. The river leads on, through the medieval town of Landsberg am Lech, to one of the oldest cities in Germany, Augsburg, with beautiful monuments from many eras.

• The picturesque Lech spring
