Lake Constanze - lake Königssee

You start your journey in Lindau on Lake Constance. The famous lighthouse and the island harbor can be discovered on an evening stroll.

You turn your back on Lake Constance and, with a bit of luck, you will have a beautiful panoramic view of the Alps. Your destination today, Oberstaufen, is a market in the Oberallgäu. Watch how the delicious cheese is made in the show dairy or immerse yourself in the history of the region in one of the local museums.

You cycle through beautiful valleys past the large Alpsee lake to Immenstadt. The Old Court, which served as a town residence for ruling families, and the Villa Edelweiss are well worth a visit. You can also climb the Calvary with its small church. Along Lake Grünten you will pass other lovingly decorated chapels. The pretty village of Nesselwang is a much-visited climatic health resort.

An impressive mountain backdrop accompanies you to Füssen am Forggensee. In addition to the scenic impressions, the High Castle, which is home to the State Gallery, is well worth a visit. The Benedictine monastery of Sankt Mang is also worth a visit. With a view of the Allgäu Alps, you cycle further along the Romantic Road to Schwangau. The picturesque royal castles of Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau can be seen in the distance.

You are accompanied by an impressive mountain backdrop on your way to Füssen on Lake Forggensee. Besides the amazing scenery the palace ‚Hohes Schloss’, home of the National Gallery is worth a visit. We also recommend a visit to the Benedictine Monastery Saint Mang. You continue along the Romantic Road to Schwangau with the Allgäuer Alps in full view. Already from afar, you will be able to see the silhouettes of the picturesque fairy tale castles, Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau.

Vorbei am Kochelsee und Benediktbeuern radeln Sie durch eine besonders stimmungsvolle Landschaft nach Bad Tölz. Der Ort am Schnittpunkt zweier Handelswege - der Isar und der alten Salzstraße von Reichenhall ins Allgäu - entwickelte sich rasch zum florierenden Warenumschlagplatz. Von dieser Blütezeit zeugen noch die reich verzierten Bürgerhäuser. Ein Spaziergang durch die historische Marktstraße ist ein „Muss“ für jeden Besucher.

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

First you cycle directly along the lakeshore and then continue on a slightly hilly route to Bad Feilnbach. Due to its mild climate and over 30,000 fruit trees, the moor spa is also known as the “Bavarian Merano”. The stage town is just as colorfully decorated.

You will ride your bike through the largest peat mining area within 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.

The mountains are getting higher and higher, but the bike path stays almost flat. You will cycle through the “Bergener Moos” at the foot of Mount Hochfelln (1,674 metres / 0.9 mi), 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.

The cycle route runs narrowly between the mountains via Piding around the Hochstaufen along the Saalach to Bad Reichenhall. Bad Reichenhall has been a recognized health resort or “spa town” since 1890. You should definitely try a piece of cake in the famous Reber confectionery before the cycle route takes you on to the famous Berchtesgaden.

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