The Free State of Bavaria 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.

On a Bavaria bike tour, you’ll pass crystal-clear lakes, lush forests, and charming small towns where half-timbered houses and cobblestone streets make for a fairytale atmosphere. The highlight for many travelers is the world-famous Neuschwanstein Castle, perched high above the valley and looking like it was pulled straight out of a storybook!
