8 days of cycling connect two of southern Germany's most spectacular bodies of water through Alpine foothills, forests, and Bavarian villages most tourists never find. The tour ends at the Althoff Seehotel Überfahrt, a five-star hotel sitting directly on one of Bavaria's most beautiful lakes—a proper send-off after a week in the saddle. Neuschwanstein, the crumbling heights of Falkenstein Castle, the UNESCO-listed Wieskirche… Bavaria keeps throwing things at you, and they're all worth stopping for. The tour connects Lake Constance to Lake Tegernsee through the Allgäu and the Bavarian foothills of the Alps. Expert guides lead the way on quiet forest and meadow paths, with a support vehicle always available for luggage and transfers. Most meals are included, and each night is spent in a carefully selected hotel chosen for location and character—ending with one unforgettable night at a five-star lakeshore hotel on the Tegernsee. With all logistics handled, there's nothing to organize and nowhere to rush. Throughout the tour, we stay in a selection of handpicked hotels chosen for character, location, and comfort. The family-run Hotel Lindauer Hof in Lindau sits directly on the harbor; Hotel Rothenfels in Immenstadt overlooks the Alpsee; Hotel Hirsch in Füssen is a traditional Bavarian staple steps from the old town; and Hotel Schillingshof in Bad Kohlgrub comes with an indoor pool and wellness facilities. In Bad Tölz, Hotel am Wald offers cosy country-style rooms with panoramic balconies. The tour concludes at the Althoff Seehotel Überfahrt—a five-star hotel directly on the shores of Lake Tegernsee and a member of The Leading Hotels of the World. Good fitness is required. The most you 'll cycle in a day is up to 69 km (43 mi), with Day 6 being the longest stage. Most of the route follows quiet forest paths, meadow tracks, and low-traffic roads with moderate terrain —and thanks to the e-bikes, even the hillier sections in the Allgäu and the Ammergau mountains are very manageable. A support vehicle is always available, so you can take a break from the saddle whenever you need to.
