Itinerary of your trip Lake Constance-Königssee Cycle Route - Pilgrimage Cycling Wi

  • Day 1 Day 1: Arrival Lindau
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 1: Arrival Lindau

      You travel by train or by car to our starting hotel in Lindau. You should arrive in such a way that you can explore Lindau -in- Lake Constance- on a short tour. -In Lake Constance because Lindau’s historic old town is located on an island in the lake. Also worth seeing are the Old Town Hall and, of course, the harbor where the Lake Constance fleet arrives and departs.

  • Day 2 Day 2: Lindau - Oberstaufen
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 2: Lindau - Oberstaufen

      After a hearty breakfast, you will cover an altitude difference of around 400 meters from the Lake Constance basin up to Stiefenhofen, a very small, authentic community near Oberstaufen. You will also pass through Hergensweiler with its 11th century Moltenberg Castle. A special tip for the leisurely uphill cyclists: take the Pfänderbahn from Bregenz to the mountain station (1064 m). From 8.00 - 10.00 a.m., bicycles can be taken free of charge, otherwise 6.80 euros (as of 07/20). From the mountain station, the route leads to Hinteregg, Lutzenreute, Möggers, Scheidegg (800 m) and Lindenberg. From Röthenbach, continue on the marked Bodensee-Königssee cycle path.

  • Day 3 Day 3: Oberstaufen - Immenstadt - Oy-Mittelberg
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 3: Oberstaufen - Immenstadt - Oy-Mittelberg

      After a tour of the beautiful spa town of Oberstaufen or a visit to the local museum of local history, today you cycle around the Staufner Berg, cross the valley of the Konstanzer Ach and reach the Großer Alpsee, a wonderful place to take a little breather. Not only does the Große Alpsee have a lot to offer in terms of scenery, it is also a true Mecca of fun for surfing and sailing enthusiasts. Your route continues past the Kleiner Alpsee and across the Iller to tranquil Immenstadt. With its historic castle ruins all around, the town is particularly inviting for an additional exploration tour. With enough tailwind, you first make a detour to Sonthofen before continuing via Rettenberg and the beautiful Rottachsee lake. Now it’s another 10 km or so to your destination for today, Oy-Mittelberg.

  • Day 4 Day 4: Oy-Mittelberg - Füssen - Bad Kohlgrub
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 4: Oy-Mittelberg - Füssen - Bad Kohlgrub

      After about 6 km you reach Nesselwang, situated at the foot of the Edelsberg and the Alpspitze. For beer lovers, there is a brewery museum in Nesselwang, which is a reminder of the numerous breweries in the town from earlier times. From Nesselwang, you are accompanied by the fantastic panorama of the Allgäu Alps. With views of the Zugspitze and the Tannheim mountains, through green forests, you pass quiet little villages such as Schweinegg and Zell until you reach the spa town of Hopfen am See. From Hopfen am Hopfensee, you continue to Füssen am Forggensee, the second largest town in the Ostallgäu. With its historic old town and interesting museums and buildings, Füssen is well worth a visit. Today’s section of the route also takes you to Schwangau and thus close to the world-famous fairytale castles of the Bavarian King Ludwig II. Neuschwanstein Castle is the most famous of these, was built in 1869 and is definitely worth a visit. Today you continue along country lanes and small side roads up into the forest of the sparsely populated Ammergau mountains and via the old royal road, between Schneidberg and Niederbleich, you reach the Halbammer valley. From there you ride down to Altenau. The route from Altenau and Saulgrub to Bad Kohlgrub impresses with its varied landscape.

  • Day 5 Day 5: Bad Kohlgrub - Eschenlohe - Ettal Monastery - Murnau
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 5: Bad Kohlgrub - Eschenlohe - Ettal Monastery - Murnau

      Past the quaint Altenauer Moor, a nature reserve, the route continues along lush green meadows and traditional villages, with the imposing mountain panorama stretching out in the background. From the Bad Kohlgrub moor spa, the route continues downhill to Grafenaschau, at the foot of the Aschau mountains, to another nature reserve, the Murnauer and Eschenloher Moos. The course of the Loisach river takes you to Eschenlohe. Now it’s another 14 km to Ettal Monastery. Hardly anyone would expect such a mighty monastery building in this mountain world: Ettal is the largest domed church in Bavaria. The Benedictine monastery is still a very lively and cultural center of the valley. In addition to a grammar school, there is also an art publishing house, the monastery brewery, a hotel and a monastery liqueur distillery. Every day at 6 p.m., the monks also sing choral prayers in the church. After an exciting day, you return to Murnau, where you spend the night.

  • Day 6 Day 6: Murnau - Bad Tölz
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 6: Murnau - Bad Tölz

      From Murnau you continue through the Tölzer Land region to Benediktbeuern with its basilica, which dates back to the year 739 and now presents itself in the most beautiful baroque and rococo style. The next destinations are Bad Heilbrunn and Bad Tölz. The ancient town of Bad Tölz already benefited from its ideal location on the Isar in the past. At that time, it was used as a traffic stream by raftsmen and today it is a tourist attraction. In 1899, the town became a health resort and has been known as Bad Tölz ever since. Not only the old town is worth a visit, but also the Marienstift and the St. Leonhard chapel on the Kalvarienberg with a wonderful view of the Isar mountains.

  • Day 7 Day 7: Bad Tölz - Schliersee/Fischbachau
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 7: Bad Tölz - Schliersee/Fischbachau

      You leave Bad Tölz south to Gaissach train station and drive via Reichersbeuern and Waakirchen to Marienstein and Gmund am Tegernsee. If you are still in strength, it is also recommended to rounding the lake clockwise due to heavy car traffic. We continue from Gmund via Gschwendt along the quiet Schlierach to Schliersee/Neuhaus. Schliersee is a beautiful lake surrounded by mountains, whose villages have lost none of their authentic Bavarian flair over the years. The farm and winter sports museum of former ski racer Markus Wasmeier is also located in the Neuhaus district. From Schliersee or the Neuhaus district, it is now just over 10 km to Fischbachau.

  • Day 8 Day 8: Schliersee/Fischbachau - Bernau Am Chiemsee
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 8: Schliersee/Fischbachau - Bernau Am Chiemsee

      Passing Sonnenreuth and Niklasreuth, we continue to Bad Feilnbach, a pretty place at the foot of the Wendelstein. Bad Feilnbach is blessed with a fairly mild climate and is a popular health resort. The climate also has a positive effect on apple harvesting, which is why the apple market is one of the highlights of the cultural landscape in autumn. From Bad Feilnbach, follow the cycle path, slightly downhill, through the moss to Neubeuern/Altenmarkt am Inn. With its picturesque marketplace and historic façades, Neubeuern puts you in the romantic mood of those times, in which indoor shipping was still the most important trade in Neubeuern. Further on through Rohrdorf, Frasdorf and Aschau, it is easy to reach Bernau am Chiemsee, the Bavarian Sea.

  • Day 9 Day 9: Bernau - Man And Women’S Island Tour
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 9: Bernau - Man And Women’S Island Tour

      Take it easy today, because your bike is taking a break. We recommend a visit to the Herreninsel and Fraueninsel islands. The Chiemsee boat service has a landing stage in Bernau-Felden, from where you can set off directly. In the middle of the Chiemsee rises the castle of the fairytale king Ludwig II, surrounded by pompous fountains and mysterious forests. It was here in 1948 that the Basic Law of the Federal Republic of Germany was drafted by the Constitutional Convention. The Fraueninsel with its picturesque houses and small gardens, pubs and idyllic beer gardens is the perfect destination for a leisurely stroll and a break away from the hustle and bustle.

  • Day 10 Day 10: Bernau - Bad Reichenhall
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 10: Bernau - Bad Reichenhall

      From Bernau via Grassau, the route then follows an old salt works path to Bergen, at the foot of the Hochfelln. A highlight worth seeing here is the Maxhütte, an old ironworks that has been converted into a museum. The following village of Siegsdorf may be a relatively small community, but it still has a special geological sensation to offer. Siegsdorf made the biggest headlines in 1985 with the discovery of a mammoth, which is now on display in the South-East Bavarian Museum of Natural History and Mammoths. From Siegsdorf, the tour leads to Traunstein, a somewhat larger district town with a population of 19,000. Here, too, the salt trade shaped the townscape. The historic town square and especially the salt works district are well worth a visit. You should also pay a visit to the Traunstein local history museum. The Salinenweg trail continues to Lauter, Oberteisendorf and Teisendorf. Teisendorf is located in Rupertiwinkel, belonged to the prince-archbishopric of Salzburg for many years and is said to have been settled in Roman times. The route continues to Piding on the Saalach. From Piding, you cycle along the Alz cycle path to Bad Reichenhall, the town of the former salt (Hall) merchants. The salt museum in the old salt works provides an insight into historical and modern salt production. The town became a health resort in 1890. In addition to the museum, St. Zeno’s Minster from the 12th century is also worth a visit. This church is the largest Romanesque hall church in Bavaria.

  • Day 11 Day 11: Bad Reichenhall - Berchtesgaden - Königssee - Bad Reichenhall
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 11: Bad Reichenhall - Berchtesgaden - Königssee - Bad Reichenhall

      Today, on the last day of your Bodensee Königssee cycle tour, you will take a trip to Königssee in Berchtesgaden National Park. Berchtesgaden owes its origins to an Augustinian canon monastery founded in 1100 and was the smallest principality in Germany in the 15th century. The final destination, Königssee, is nestled between two steep mountain slopes and is therefore often compared to a Scandinavian fjord and is also one of the cleanest lakes in Germany. If the weather is bad, we recommend a visit to the Berchtesgaden salt mine (romantic ride on the mine train), which you can reach by public transport from Bad Reichenhall.
