CYCLING IN GERMANY

The crystal clear lakes and refreshing mountains of Upper Bavaria along with the great River Danube meandering into Austria from Passau have really inspired us for our gentle cycling adventures in Germany.

Why these parts of Germany? Well now, let’s see ….

Baroque swirls and Bavarian bands. Watzmann mountain peaks and the freshest green valleys. Dreamy Danube days, dotted with unique little bike ferries and re-lived over a cool, frothy beer in the hotel ‘Biergärtl’. Feathers in local caps. The Eagle’s Nest. Passau’s three rivers. Then there’s the delicious Würstchen with sweet mustard. Local ‘Tracht’ and Lederhosen even. Smart spa towns busting with civic pride. The great expanse of the Chiemsee, lavish castles and little churches. Balconies overflowing with colourful Geraniums and maypoles towering with bright floral tributes. The sheer beauty of the Königssee’s still waters against its rising, rocky walls and the nestling calm of its lakeside church. Kaffee und Kuchen on the Kurgarten terrace. And the warmest welcome Germany could possibly offer.

Great places to stay…

From smart ‘Gasthöfe’ adorned with wall paintings, geraniums and carved gables to convenient and comfortable town centre hotels and relaxed lakeside properties, our German hotels are mainly rated 4 star according to local classifications, although our Best of Bavaria (GMS8 / GSM9) Tours do include some 3 star properties. Most hotels have saunas; some have swimming pools and one or two even offer the option of a relaxing massage - something else to look forward at the end of the day as well as that cold beer, glass of local wine and a guilt-free pastry!

Making sure you get a taste of the place

Our hotel stays in Germany are arranged on a bed and breakfast basis but in our route notes, we point out great places to stop for lunch, a picnic, a refreshing glass of local wine or chilled and froth-topped beer. We also give tips for evening meals, either at the hotel or nearby restaurants.

Good friends to support you along your way…

As much as we might like to, we can’t cut ourselves into pieces and welcome you personally all around Europe. In Germany and Austria, we work in partnership with local experts who share our commitment to quality, service and great cycling. Together, we ensure that the route notes prepared during our own latest experiences are up-to-date and that accommodation continues to meet our high standards. We are proud of our partners and delighted that you will be welcomed by friends.

Getting to the start of your adventure

We’ve been organising cycling holidays to Germany since 2007. Although there are constant changes in the world of passenger transport: we have knowledge to share about how to get to Germany by rail, ferry, tunnel or air. We are pleased to talk through all travel arrangements, including transfers from stations and parking for your vehicle.

For our selected tours, we suggest rail travel to Passau or Munich or flights into Salzburg, Linz (closest to Passau), or Munich. The excellent rail network in the area is the best option for transfers to/from Passau, Vienna, Munich and Salzburg as required.
