Isar Cycle Path: The classic river cycle path in the Bavarian Alps
As an ice-cold, turquoise wild river, the Isar starts at Scharnitz in the Bavarian Alps and then flows via Mittenwald to the cosmopolitan city of Munich and into the Danube. There are numerous sights and bathing lakes along the Isar cycle path through Bavaria — and the nearest beer garden is usually not far away either.
In seven days, you cover 299 km until you reach your destination in Plattling.
