Isar cycle path: clas­sic with lug­ga­ge transfer

Always along the pic­tures­que Isar, the cycle rou­te leads through varied land­scapes from the moun­ta­ins to the Danu­be. From the ice-cold, crys­tal-clear and spar­k­ling moun­tain streams near Schar­nitz, the Isar initi­al­ly mean­ders through the Alpi­ne foot­hills as a lively, fresh water­cour­se. The river soon widens and cap­ti­va­tes cyclists on its way through idyl­lic natu­ral sce­n­ery and char­ming vil­la­ges. Pas­sing lush mea­dows, shady forests and gent­le hills, you reach the lively city of Munich, whe­re the Isar beco­mes a cool, refres­hing recrea­tio­nal area for city dwel­lers. Here, num­e­rous green spaces, small peb­b­le bea­ches and pic­tures­que bridges invi­te you to take a break or a short detour into the city. After Munich, the river beco­mes wider and quie­ter again and accom­pa­nies cyclists through the Upper Bava­ri­an coun­try­si­de to Lands­hut. The rou­te not only offers scenic beau­ty, but also cul­tu­ral high­lights: his­to­ric town cen­ters, baro­que churches and tra­di­tio­nal beer gar­dens invi­te you to take a break. Final­ly, near Deg­gen­dorf, just befo­re the Bava­ri­an Forest, the Isar trans­forms into a dark green, maje­s­tic river that flows gent­ly into the Danu­be. The Isar Cycle Path is the­r­e­fo­re not only a sport­ing chall­enge, but also an impres­si­ve jour­ney through the natu­re, cul­tu­re and histo­ry of Bava­ria — an expe­ri­ence that fasci­na­tes cyclists of all ages.
