Cosy atmosphere in Upper Bavaria
In the land of ‘Maibaume’ (similar to a maypole) and 1000 beers, cycling is a top priority. Do you know the beautiful lake landscape in Bavaria? No? Then discover the blue beauties on the Eurobike tour from Chiemsee to Königssee. Immerse yourself in historical anecdotes, Bavarian customs and special natural scenery.
Passing historic sights and idyllic landscapes you cycle from the Chiemsee towards the Königssee. As you cycle you have enough time to take in the natural landscape. And don’t forget to enjoy the culinary delights during breaks.
Details about the cycle tour from Chiemsee to Königssee
The cycle tour starts at the Chiemsee, the largest lake in Bavaria. A first walk to the lakeside gives the holiday a relaxing start. The first three days focus on exploring this natural blue beauty. You cycle about 60 kilometres comfortably on the circular path on the shores of the Chiemsee. From bustling lakeside villages to untouched bays, you’ll see it all!
Tip: Dare to take a dip in the lake during the extensive breaks. You will find the refreshment does you good! Those who prefer cool drinks to splashing, will also be happy! On the shore you will discover numerous shady beer gardens, which invite you in to sit back and enjoy.
From the ‘Bavarian Sea’ you continue on the bike saddle over Inzell and Bad Reichenhall to Berchtesgaden in the next three stages. You pedal hard, because the route runs between the mountains along the Saalach river. Once in Berchtesgaden, enjoy the lake and mountain landscape and the traditional village.
