Bavaria’s picturesque lake district unfolds with alpine peaks, historic villages, and crystal-clear waters, shaping a journey of serenity and romance. The Isar River winds from its wild mountain source past royal retreats and frescoed towns, while ever-changing landscapes create a dreamlike beauty.
Medieval charm and royal intrigue weave through this journey, from Munich’s grand avenues to the tranquil shores of Starnberger See, where Bavaria’s fairy-tale king met his untimely end. The route winds past the moody expanse of Murnauer Moos, the last great upland moor, before reaching the foothills of towering Zugspitze, Germany’s highest peak.
Hidden gems along the way bring the past to life – Mittenwald’s violin-making tradition still fills the air with music, the fjord-like Sylvensteinsee reflects the ever-changing sky, and the Bräustüberl Tegernsee carries on a 1,000-year-old brewing legacy.
With an average of 50 kilometers per day and 350 meters of elevation gain, this tour blends moderate cycling with a mix of lakeside paths, rolling foothills, and scenic climbs.
The most demanding ascent comes between Garmisch-Partenkirchen and Wallgau, while shorter days like Murnau to Garmisch-Partenkirchen provide a gentler ride.
You can expect paved cycle paths, quiet roads, and well-maintained gravel sections, making this journey ideal for leisure cyclists with a good fitness level.
Your holiday includes hand-picked accommodations, GPS tracks, a personalized digital itinerary, and full support, ensuring a smooth and stress-free journey from start to finish. With luggage transfers, you can focus on the ride while your bags await you at day’s end.

We recently completed the cycling tour from Bled to Piran with Slovenia Cycling Holidays. All the organising and running of the tour was excellent. We had excellent communication with Anna during the planning and also excellent and very helpful advice during the trip from Timotej We were unlucky on the final day to strike severe thunderstorms which made the day very difficult and less enjoyable. The weather stopped us enjoying the wonderful scenery into Piran. Timotej offered to transport us, but we wished to complete the ride. We can wholeheartedly recommend this Company if you wish a good cycling adventure with very good accommodation along the way. Thanks Anja and Timothy


So last minute holiday and the team at Slovenia Cycling managed to turn around a bespoke package really quickly in peak tourist season! The cycle routes are great and easy to follow whilst the trip app has all the details on hotels and transfers whilst the things to see and places to eat was invaluable. Team are super responsive when you have questions which are handled quickly on Whats App. Will definitely use them again.


We booked a week long cycling trip through Timotej’s business. It was a self guided trip where Slovenia Cycling Holidays booked our hotels, arranged transfer of luggage between hotels, organized rented bicycles, and provided us recommended cycling routes. They provided us with a very well organized itinerary with information about the places we visited and recommendations for restaurants, etc. We had a few hiccups, but overall it was a great experience! Timotej was quick to respond to any questions or issues we encountered. This was a great way to discover Slovenia by bicycle. I highly recommend using them!
