Self-guided Cycling Tour from Munich to Salzburg

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.

Highlights:

• Schliersee: The inspiring blue beauty invites you to relax. No matter whether it’s right on the shore, in one of the surrounding restaurants or seeing the sights, the Schliersee offers plenty of space to enjoy yourself.
• The city of Mozart: Pure happiness comes on arrival in Salzburg. You stroll through the lovely old town with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Hearty delicacies and culinary delights will make your heart beat faster. Stroll through the charming alleyways of the festival city and end your cycle tour in style.
