Bavaria
The gem of Germany
With miles of cycling paths and varied landscapes, southeast Germany’s Bavaria is home to the Bavarian and Bohemian Forests, plays host to the Danube and Main Rivers, is bordered by Lake Constance, and is dotted with idyllic postcard-perfect villages.
Dedicated bike paths and roads with minimal traffic make for easy riding, with terrain perfect for a variety of cycling levels, from soft, hills and valleys to more challenging, yet rewarding, routes through the majestic Bavarian Alps.
Bike tours in Bavaria are perfect for all types of riders, including well-seasoned cyclists, first-timers, and families. Travelers will be enchanted by the region’s rich tradition and history, and can explore ancient monasteries, gothic castles, and towering cathedrals, or experience the culture while dining on traditional Bavarian cuisine.
“The villages along the way were so picturesque. Our overnights were in towns with rich history and traditions, and there were always interesting spots to stop along the way. We finished the tour knowing that we would like to go back.”
