Lech Cycle Path — From the Danu­be to the Lech Val­ley with lug­ga­ge transfer

Info and Booking

Small sign­post: Lechradweg

From the mouth of the River Lech on the Danu­be to the Lech Val­ley in Tyrol, the Lech Cycle Path leads through land­scapes that could not be more dif­fe­rent. Along its banks, you can see how it has shaped natu­re and crea­ted the most diver­se habi­tats. From the lei­su­re­ly river — with the enchan­ting river­si­de forests and gent­le foot­hills of the Alps firm­ly in view — up into the moun­ta­ins to the source of the Lech, you can enjoy inspi­ring moments. 

Track con­di­ti­on

This is a modera­te­ly dif­fi­cult cycle tour, main­ly on well-main­tai­ned cycle paths and paved trails. A few pas­sa­ges with loo­se ground requi­re atten­ti­on, but can be mas­te­red wit­hout any pro­blems, wher­eby the tour was desi­gned upstream and the­r­e­fo­re a good basic level of fit­ness is recom­men­ded — unless you are on an e‑bike.

Ser­vice on the Lech cycle path

The Lech Cycle Path is sign­pos­ted and mark­ed throug­hout. In Ger­ma­ny, the signage cor­re­sponds to the logo shown here; in Tyrol, green signs with white let­te­ring inclu­ding kilo­me­ters indi­ca­te the route. 

The­re are seve­ral ser­vice points along the Lech Cycle Path whe­re you can have your bike repai­red if it breaks down. You will recei­ve an over­view of the­se ser­vice points and e‑bike char­ging sta­ti­ons with your tra­vel documents. 

Sights along the Lech Cycle Path

Num­e­rous sights along the rou­te are well worth a visit — here is a small selection: 
  • Bene­dic­ti­ne monas­tery Thierhaupten
  • Lang­wied hydro­elec­tric power station
  • Lech Falls in Füs­sen (water­fall)
  • Augs­burg with its “water manage­ment sys­tem” (UNESCO World Heri­ta­ge Site)
  • Streim­bach estua­ry bird­wat­ching hut
  • Old town of Schongau
  • Lech weir

Rou­te guidance

Cycle upstream towards Tyrol, with the Alps in your sights, so the­re are gra­di­ents to con­t­end with. Sec­tions of the Lech Cycle Path run on paths owned by water manage­ment com­pa­nies and used by com­pa­ny vehic­les that main­tain the con­di­ti­on of the path. The­r­e­fo­re, always expect onco­ming traf­fic, espe­ci­al­ly in blind bends. As the rou­te runs clo­se to the river, the­re may be tem­po­ra­ry clo­sures, obs­truc­tions and dama­ge to the cycle path in the event of floo­ding. Plea­se note the cur­rent infor­ma­ti­on on our web­site and the infor­ma­ti­on on clo­sures and detour in your tra­vel docu­ments. In addi­ti­on to stage descrip­ti­ons and maps, you will also recei­ve GPS data for use with mobi­le navi­ga­ti­on devices / smart­phone apps.
