Itinerary

Personal tour information and bike hire (if booked). The capital of the Free State attracts visitors with its shady beer gardens. You can get in the mood for the tour with a cool ‘Radlermaß’.

The Isar cycle path leads through lush riparian forests via Wolfratshausen and Geretsried to Bad Tölz. The town at the intersection of two trade routes - the Isar and the old salt route from Reichenhall to the Allgäu - quickly developed into a flourishing trading centre. The richly decorated town houses still bear witness to this heyday. The Tölzer Marktstraße invites you to follow in the footsteps of the well-known TV series ‘Der Bulle von Tölz’.

The route leads through the charming Tegernsee countryside over gentle hills to Lake Tegernsee. From Gmund you can enjoy a marvellous panoramic view of the lake. Take a boat trip or stop for a swim! The Lake Constance-Königssee cycle path continues to Schliersee.

Firstly directly along the lakeshore and then slightly hilly onwards to Bad Feilnbach. Due to the mild climate and over 30,000 fruit trees, the moor spa is also known as the ‘Bavarian Merano’. The stage town is just as colourfully decorated.

You soon reach Neubeuern through the largest peat extraction area in Bavaria, the Kollerfilze. Everywhere in the village you can see two crossed ship hooks, the coat of arms of the Inn market, which refers to the most important source of income - shipbuilding. Continue via Frasdorf at the foot of the Chiemgau mountains to Lake Chiemsee. The stage destination is on the southern shore of the Bavarian Sea. A boat trip to the islands of Herrenchiemsee and Frauenchiemsee is definitely worthwhile.

The mountains get higher and higher. But the cycle route remains almost flat. Through the ‘Bergener Moos’ at the foot of the Chiemgau's local mountain, the Hochfelln (1,674m / 0.99 mi), the route leads via Bad Adelholzen (healing spring) to Siegsdorf (natural history museum). From there, continue along the red Traun river to idyllic Inzell. The Lüftlmalerei paintings on the flower-decorated town houses characterise the climatic health resort.

The route runs narrowly between the mountains on the German Alpine Road via Schneitzlreuth along the Saalach to Bad Reichenhall (salt works spring house, St Zeno's Minster, spa gardens). Over the Bavarian-Austrian border to Salzburg.

After breakfast, individual return journey or start of your extension.

Tour character

Moderate

Mostly easy to cycle, hilly in sections, especially on the stage from Bad Tölz to Bad Feilnbach there are a few climbs to contend with. Partly cycle paths, mostly farm tracks and side roads. Only a few short sections are on roads with heavier traffic.
