A Bavaria bike tour is one of the best ways to discover the beauty and heritage of the magnificent Free State of Bavaria. This region stretches from the gentle hills of the Bohemian Forest to the dramatic peaks of the Bavarian Alps, offering nature-loving cyclists a blend of culture, history, and breathtaking scenery.

As you ride, you’ll pass crystal-clear lakes, lush forests, and charming small towns where half-timbered houses and cobblestone streets create a storybook setting. The highlight for many of our travelers is the world-famous Neuschwanstein Castle, perched high above the valley and looking like it was pulled straight from a fairytale!

• Why cycle in Bavaria?

  Bavaria’s cycling routes are well marked and suitable for all levels. Families can enjoy flat riverside paths, while more adventurous riders can test themselves on rolling hills and alpine climbs. Wherever you go, welcoming locals, hearty cuisine, and unforgettable scenery await.

  From the wild beauty of the Bohemian Forest to the soaring Bavarian Alps, every ride reveals a new discovery. A cycling holiday here combines outdoor adventure, cultural treasures, and the timeless charm of Bavaria - a nature lover's paradise.

  For a unique twist, consider a Bavaria bike and boat tour or a Bavaria bike and barge tour. These itineraries pair cycling with life aboard a comfortable vessel, letting you explore riverside landscapes by day and relax in the evening on the water.
