Tips for connoisseur tours & sporting adventures by bike around Munich
The Wasser-Radlwege Oberbayern (Upper Bavarian waterside cycling routes) offer around 1,200 km of outstanding spots to stop and enjoy the water. The three legs also adopt the particular regional features: In the north, the long-distance cycling route is dominated by hops & beer, in the south-east the focus is on salt, and in the south-west on art & culture.
Munich is also the starting point for a fantastic Alpine crossing Munich-Venice. Covering 560 km and with a climb of just 3,000 metres, the tour tempts with spectacular landscape adventures through Alpine and Mediterranean environments to the Laguna city of Venice.
The Isar cycle path is all about the water. From the source of the raging torrent of the 'Isaria' in the Karwendel mountains, follow Bavaria's main river for almost 300 km to its confluence with the Danube.
Take the train to the mountains, then carry on by bike: if you board a train in Munich, you can switch to a hire bike or e-bike at your destination and explore the Bavarian Alps on two wheels. Alpinrad Bikesharing offers this option. All the information about bikes and hire stations can be found here.
