Overview
Bicycle Germany’s famous Romantic Road from Rothenburg to Fussen and the edge of the Austrian Alps before pedaling to Munich along vibrant bike paths that weave through peaceful forests. This route provides a link back in time, extending from the Roman occupation of Transalpine Gaul into the Medieval and Renaissance periods. Today some of the best-preserved towns and villages from the 15th through the 18th century are strung like pearls throughout Bavaria. You’ll bicycle through a Grimm’s brothers fairy tale landscape and gain a better understanding of this historic part of central Europe. A visit to the extraordinary Neuschwanstein Castle and pedaling into the Austrian Alps are memorable highlights we’ll explore in Upper Bavaria. Our updated itinerary goes deeper into Bavaria to feature more alpine views yet the cycling stays relatively mild. The last few days now follow in the footsteps of the “Blaue Reiter,” a famous group of “Blue Rider” expressionist artists who often traveled between Murnau and Munich, the capital of the region. You’ll get a taste of the landscape and culture that forged the stereotypical image of Bavaria while enjoying its perfect combination of cycling, nature, history and the occasional spa hotel.If this sounds great, but you prefer a shorter tour, join us on our 8-day Bicycle the Best of Bavaria tour.

Keep in mind
We work hard to maintain consistency across all of our tours, but some trips have unique differences. Here are some things to keep in mind about this tour.
Small sections of hard-packed dirt paths. A/C or fans may not always be available as they have traditionally not been needed. Separated twin beds are rare; instead there will be two mattresses together that sit on the same base.
Small roads or excellent bike paths with very little traffic.
