The Upper Bavarian region on the Inn and Salzach rivers combines world-famous sights, impressive natural spectacles, and idyllic gems in the south of Germany. A bike trip through the region includes countless historical treasures and cultural sites. To help you explore, a network of 930 miles (1,500 km) of bike paths runs through the Inn-Salzach region, with 24 themed routes to choose from. These routes guide you through this diverse region: along rivers, over hills, and through forests and meadows. An exciting museum, a shaded beer garden or refreshing swimming lake is also never far away.
In this Collection, we present ten of the 24 themed tours. You can discover the Inn-Salzach region from your saddle and experience the unique combination of nature and culture including: the longest castle complex in Europe; a Renaissance moated castle; babbling brooks; idyllic swimming lakes; quaint inns; and lively town squares with colorful facades.
The routes cater to every ability and fitness level so you can enjoy a day on your bike whether you are riding as a family or with your sporty cycling team.
You can reach the starting points of most of the routes directly by train or by bike (just a few minutes riding from the nearest train station). Although you spend a lot of time in quiet nature, the next inn, farm café or restaurant is never far away. In addition, there is a range of accommodation with the warm hospitality for which Upper Bavaria is so well known. You might want to stay longer in the region to ride several of the stages.
The Inn-Salzach region has received the highest award from the German Cyclists’ Federation (ADFC) and is certified as a cycling travel region!
