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

The Lech Cycle Path runs for around 244 kilo­me­ters through five varied stages from Marx­heim in Bava­ria to Steeg in Tyrol and offers cycling enthu­si­asts a uni­que oppor­tu­ni­ty to expe­ri­ence the last wild river in Euro­pe up clo­se. Along the rou­te, you fol­low the Lech from its quie­ter source in the Bava­ri­an low­lands to its wild cour­se through the impres­si­ve Alpi­ne land­scape of Tyrol. The trail is divi­ded into three cha­rac­te­ristic sec­tions: the wise Lech in the wide and flat Bava­ri­an low­lands, the matu­re Lech in the gent­ly rol­ling foot­hills of the Alps and the wild Lech in the Tyro­lean Lech Val­ley, whe­re the river flows through the moun­ta­ins in unta­med beau­ty. Each of the­se sec­tions has its own charm and impres­si­ve­ly reflects the diver­si­ty of the natu­ral and cul­tu­ral land­scapes along the Lech. For prac­ti­cal reasons, the Lech­rad­weg tour beg­ins in Donau­wörth, alt­hough the offi­ci­al start­ing point is in Marx­heim. From the­re, the rou­te most­ly leads away from traf­fic along well-main­tai­ned and scenic cycle paths, past his­to­ric vil­la­ges, natu­ral river­banks and num­e­rous view­points that invi­te you to lin­ger. The Lech Cycle Path is sign­pos­ted and mark­ed throug­hout on both the Bava­ri­an and Tyro­lean sides, ensu­ring safe and easy ori­en­ta­ti­on along the way. Thanks to its varied stages, the rou­te is sui­ta­ble for both ambi­tious spor­ty cyclists and lei­su­re­ly lei­su­re cyclists who want to dis­co­ver natu­re at their own pace.
