The region surrounding Bavaria's capital captivates with numerous lakes set against the majestic Alpine backdrop. Cycling here is a true pleasure as you pass through charming, traditional villages and towns, pause in welcoming beer gardens nestled under leafy trees, and relax on tranquil lakeside docks. The journey begins amidst the vibrant energy of Munich, a bustling city alive with lively restaurants, shops, museums, and historic architecture. Along this loop tour, the towns display a rich, colorful baroque character--you'll spend nights in places like Bad Tolz, by Lake Starnberg, in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, and Wallgau. And naturally, the lakes that lend this tour its name take center stage--from the small, serene Barmsee to the expansive Tegernsee, countless memorable moments by the water await. Overall, this is a gentle tour with daily distances spread out comfortably. A few short climbs can be easily managed by walking your bike if needed. You'll mostly cycle along scenic bike paths and quiet side roads, often following the shores of lakes--with main roads encountered only briefly. The route is mostly paved, with some longer stretches on well-maintained gravel or natural paths. 6 nights accommodation in 3* and 4* hotels, Breakfast, Luggage transfer between hotels, 1x veal sausage breakfast, Digital travel documents incl. navigation app, GPS-data, route book, Service hotline for the duration of the tour.
