In seven stages you will accompany the Isar on its journey from Austria to Lower Bavaria. The river cycle path runs mostly car-free on cycle paths that are sometimes paved, but mostly gravelled. If you follow the path from the source of the river Isar to its mouth, it tends to go downhill, so that the individual stages can also be easily mastered by occasional cyclists. On the way you will always find beautiful bike rest areas, restaurants and beer gardens as well as all kinds of cultural highlights such as exciting museums, picturesque old towns and historic castles and palaces.
In every stage there are enough accommodations, which provide for a pleasant stay. Every town has at least one Bett+Bike accommodation — these are ADFC-certified, especially cyclist-friendly establishments, which have specially adapted to cyclists like you. You can find more information here: bettundbike.de. The Isar cycle path is also listed in the ADFC brochure "Discover Germany by bike".
To get to the start of the Isar cycle path, you can drive to Scharnitz by car. The train will bring you back from the finish of the tour in Deggendorf in about five hours, so that you can pick up your car again. Alternatively, we recommend the following arrival concept: park your car in Munich and take the train to Scharnitz. In Deggendorf there is only a two-hour train drive back to Munich waiting for you. Maybe you'll even spend another day exploring the Bavarian capital in peace and quiet?

The Isar origin lies in the middle of the idyllic, car-free Karwendel nature park. All around is nothing, except a small rest area for hikers and cyclists, as well as an informative plaque. Here you can sit in peace and enjoy a drink of fresh Isar water and the fantastic views of nature.

From the idyll to the big city - this is the third stage on the Isarradweg something very special, because Munich differs from the otherwise consistently quiet milestones. But as Munich is simply beautiful and totally worth seeing, you can look forward
