Pack your swim things in your pannier so you can enjoy the many lovely beaches that line this pleasant, relaxing cycling route. Overnight stays in the towns of Lûbeck, Wismar and Stralsund allow you to enjoy strolling the medieval streets of these atmospheric old Hanseatic towns.
This is a relatively easy route with only small undulations along the way but because some of days are quite long we've awarded it a leisurely to moderate grading. Opting for an e-bike will ensure anyone with a basic level of fitness can enjoy this fabulous cycling holiday.

Munich is a vibrant city with much to see and do. Visit the famous Hofbraühaus to enjoy a frothy litre mug of beer while swaying to the Oom-Pah music with the locals. The City Museum of Munich offers a fascinating insight into the diverse history of the city and we also highly recommend a stroll through the wonderful Englischer Garten – a large park area in Schwabing where you can enjoy a beer and wurst in the fresh air
Staffelsee
Leaving the city you’ll enter a quieter world, cycling along quiet lanes past clear lakes to colourful, baroque towns and rustic villages. Murnau, a lovely old market town, enjoying an idyllic location on the shore of Lake Staffelsee is lovely place to spend the night. In Garmish-Partenkirchen we highly recommend taking the mountain railway up to a dizzying 3000 meters for some amazing views of the surrounding alps.
A lovely day’s riding through quiet valleys will bring you to Wallgau, a charming town where Bavarian traditions are still very evident and part of everyday life. In Bad Tölz you can wander along the bustling ‘Tölzer‘ street admiring the baroque houses, perhaps taking a seat in one of the many cafes, bars or restaurants for a spot of people watching.
This cycle route follows easy, flat cycle paths and back roads. There are a few unpaved sections and some minor climbs to contend with and only a few very short sections on roads with more traffic, but the route is well within the reach of most leisure cyclists.

This is a journey of real variety leading you from Berlin through the rural, scenic states of Brandenburg and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern to Rostock on the Baltic Sea coast. Here you’ll catch the ferry across to Denmark, disembarking on the peaceful island of Falster. You then island hop northwards, passing through Bogø, Møn and Zeeland.
Waren - Lake Müritz
These quiet islands offer serene cycling, quaint, traditional villages and wonderful sea scapes. Finally, you arrive in Copenhagen – one of the most vibrant, cycle friendly cities in Europe and the perfect finale to your trip.
Apart from the famous cities at either end, highlights of this route include riding through the Müritz and Nossentiner Heide National Parks, the peaceful shores of Lake Stechlin, and the wonderful old towns of Waren and Güstrow.
Some of the daily rides are relatively long – 45+ miles on some days – and so you do need a fairly good standard of fitness to really enjoy this tour. You’ll be cycling on a variety of surfaces, from quiet back roads and country lanes to canal towpaths, lakeside tracks and open coastal roads.

Munich is the starting point for this fascinating journey through Bavaria. Drink in the atmosphere as well as a frothy stein of beer at one of many splendid beer gardens. If art and museums are your thing then head for the city’s “Kunstareal”. This art quarter houses a number of galleries and museums with high quality collections to peruse at your leisure.
Lake Chiemsee
Your cycle route leads you south out of the city into the green countryside of Bavaria. Small rivers and streams will lead you through forests to clear alpine lakes and the alps create a stunning backdrop to your ride.
Highlights of the route include the charming market town of Bad Tölz, the scenic perfection of Lake Schliersee and idyllic Bavarian villages such as Inzell and Bad Feilnbach.
Finally you enter the Baroque city of Salzburg in Austria – birthplace of the world-renowned composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and a beautiful setting to celebrate your achievement.
This is a leisurely tour with a few hilly sections. Hills occur most particularly between Bad Tölz and Bad Feilenbach, where there will be some climbs to contend with but nothing too steep. The route follows bicycle paths, service roads and minor roads with a couple of unavoidable, short sections on busy roads.
