Munich-Salzburg 8-day Self-guided Cycling Tour (Level 3)
Munich is renowned for its Oktoberfest, Salzburg for its Festspiele—between these two cultural gems, countless highlights await, both within the cities and along the cycling routes. In the Bavarian capital, enjoy a visit to a traditional beer garden and watch the surfers on the Eisbach before heading toward Bad Tölz, where lively local traditions thrive at every corner. From there, the route takes you through the scenic lake district, from the charming Tegernsee to the so-called “Bavarian Sea.” At Chiemsee, admire the boats gliding across the water and consider an optional exploration of its two islands. Majestic mountain views accompany you as you approach the Austrian border via the spa town of Inzell. The journey concludes in the city of Mozart, where its picturesque streets and rich cultural heritage provide a perfect finale to this unforgettable cycling adventure.
The route is mostly easy to ride, with some hilly sections along the way. Particularly between Bad Tölz and Bad Feilnbach, you’ll encounter a few climbs. The path follows a mix of bike trails and mostly quiet farm and side roads, with only a few short stretches on busier roads.

Arrival in Munich
Personal tour information and bike fitting. The capital city of the Free State of Bavaria invites you to stay in one of its many beer gardens and get into the mood for the bike tour by drinking a “Radlermaß” (a glass of beer and lemonade).
Munich – Bad Tölz approx. 60km
The Isar cycle path will lead you through green forests, via Wolfratshausen and Geretsried, to Bad Tölz. The town, located at the crossroads of two trade routes - the River Isar and the old salt route from Reichenhall to Allgäu - quickly became a thriving trading centre. The ornate mansions testify the golden age. The Tölzer Market Street invites you to learn more about the famous television series “Der Bulle von Tölz”.
Bad Tölz – Lake Schliersee approx. 35km
Today, you will cycle through the scenic landscape of Lake Tegernsee, over gently rolling hills, to Lake Tegernsee. In Gmund you will be able to enjoy a magnificent panoramic view of the lake. We recommend taking a boat trip or going for a swim! Later, you will continue on the Bodensee-Königssee bike path to Lake Schliersee.
Lake Schliersee - Bad Feilnbach approx. 35/50km
First, you will cycle directly along the lake shore and on slightly hilly roads to Bad Feilnbach. Because of the mild climate and more than 30,000 fruit trees, the moor spa area is also called the “Bavarian Merano”. And today’s destination is a colourfully decorated town too.
Bad Feilnbach – Lake Chiemsee approx. 30/45km
You will ride your bike through the largest peat mining area of Bavaria, the Kollerfilze and soon you will reach Neubeuern. All over the town, you will see two crossed ship hooks, the emblem of Neubeuern and a sign of the shipbuilding industry, which once was the residents’ main source of income. Then, you will cycle via Frasdorf at the foot of the Chiemgau Mountains to Lake Chiemsee. Today’s destination is located on the southern lakeshore of the “Bavarian sea”. We recommend taking a boat trip to the islands Herrenchiemsee and Frauenchiemsee.
Lake Chiemsee – Inzell approx. 50km
The mountains are getting higher and higher but the bike path stays almost flat. You will cycle through the “Bergener Moos” on the foot of Mount Hochfelln (1,674 metres), via Bad Adelholzen (healing spring), to Siegsdorf (natural history museum). From there, you will continue your journey along the river Rote Traun to the idyllic town of Inzell. The famous Lüftlmalerei paintings on the beautifully decorated town houses are typical for the climatic health resort.
Inzell – Salzburg approx. 55km
Today’s stage will take you on narrow paths between the mountains, along the German Alpine Road via Schneitzlreuth and along the river Saalach to Bad Reichenhall (saline building, cathedral St. Zeno, spa park). On your way back, you will cycle across the border between Bavaria and Austria to Salzburg.
