On this trip you will cycle through the beautiful scenery in southern Bavaria, always accompanied by a breathtaking view of the Alps. You can enjoy the unspoiled nature of this region cycling next to flowering meadows, through quiet woods and lush fields, as well as along rivers and many small lakes. You will use well-known bike paths and get a chance to admire famous royal palaces, illustrious churches, historical squares, and interesting museums, as well as many lesser-known attractions of the region. Thus, this tour not only offers you the charm of pure nature, but also the highest Bavarian culture.

Today’s tour starts with a ride through the Forstenrieder park until you get to Lake Starnberg. Then the bike path runs directly along the lakeside edge until you get to Seeshaupt.

The third day on the bike will at first take you through the nature reserve Murnauer Moos (the largest marshland in Central Europe) and the ͞Altenauer Moor͟. After the impressions of this pristine nature, you will get to know the essence of Bavarian Rococo – the Wieskirche church. However, the highlights of the day are the royal castles of Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau.

From the former site of Bavarian majesty, you will cycle further along Lake Forggensee to Hopfen am See. This area impresses with its seven major and numerous other smaller lakes. You will continue your tour through fields and meadows and get a stunning view of the Allgäu Alps, Mount Zugspitze and the Tannheimer mountains until you reach Nesselwang.
Nesselwang – Oberstaufen approx. 50km
At the beginning of today’s stage, the route is a little bit hilly. However, the beautiful Alpine panorama makes up for the little effort you have to make. You will pass Lake Rottachsee and relax when cycling downhill to Immenstadt (nice town with good restaurants) and continue along Lake Großer Alpensee until you reach today’s destination, the spa town of Oberstaufen.
Oberstaufen – Lindau/Nonnenhorn approx. 50km
On your last day of cycling, you will cycle through typical Allgäu landscape with scattered farms and villages to the beautiful Lake Constance (or in German, Bodensee). After arriving at the lakeside of the pretty town of Lindau, we recommend a visit to the island, the Old Town Hall and the proud patrician houses with their impressive frescoes.
