Lake Con­s­tance-Königs­see cycle rou­te: clas­sic wit­hout lug­ga­ge transfer

The Lake Con­s­tance-Königs­see cycle path runs along the nor­t­hern edge of the Alps. It leads through the All­gäu, Bava­ri­an Swa­bia and Upper Bava­ria, whe­re char­ming vil­la­ges meet tra­di­tio­nal health resorts and spas. The start­ing point of the cycle rou­te is Lin­dau, from whe­re you set off into the hil­ly All­gäu. After impres­si­ve views of the All­gäu Alps, the Zug­spit­ze and the Tann­heim moun­ta­ins, you reach Hohen­schwan­gau, whe­re King Lud­wig II’s world-famous Neu­schwan­stein Cast­le is loca­ted. Ano­ther high­light is the Wies­kir­che church in Stein­ga­den, which is a UNESCO World Heri­ta­ge Site. In Bene­dikt­beu­ern, you can visit the impres­si­ve Bene­dic­ti­ne monas­tery with over 1,250 years of histo­ry. The cycle rou­te con­ti­nues to Bad Tölz on the Isar and through pic­tures­que Upper Bava­ri­an coun­try­si­de to the lakes Tegern­see and Schlier­see, befo­re final­ly rea­ching Chiem­see, for which you should take your time. You can reach the Frau­en­in­sel by boat and then cross over to the Her­ren­in­sel, whe­re ano­ther magni­fi­cent cast­le from the time of King Lud­wig II awaits. The rou­te leads via Traun­stein to Bad Rei­chen­hall and Berch­tes­ga­den, whe­re the desti­na­ti­on of the jour­ney lies in the Berch­tes­ga­den Natio­nal Park. The Königs­see is the crow­ning glo­ry of a maje­s­tic cycle tour.
