Day 4: Chiemsee – Inzell, approx. 30 / 45 km

Today, you will leave Lake Chiemsee behind as you embark on your cycling tour. Although the mountains rise higher, your route remains comfortably flat. You’ll encounter the natural beauty of the Bergener Moos, and in Bad Adelholzen, you’ll discover Bavaria’s oldest spa. Continue your journey to Inzell, your destination for the day. This charming village is nestled in a small, sunny valley, where the town centre is adorned with painted houses decorated with flowers. Spend the remainder of the day relaxing by the bathing lake or enjoying a peaceful moment in a cosy café.

After this scenic stage, indulge in a day of relaxation at the thermal baths (not included), where you can unwind while enjoying spectacular views of the surrounding mountain landscape through expansive glass windows. For those seeking adventure, the mountains beckon! Take a ride on the world’s oldest cable car to the summit of Predigtstuhl. At 1,614 meters above sea level, you’ll be treated to a breathtaking panoramic view of the surrounding peaks.

Day 6: Bad Reichenhall – Berchtesgaden / Königssee lake, approx. 20 / 30 km

On the final stage of your cycling tour from Lake Chiemsee to Lake Königssee, you’ll pass through typical Bavarian villages and lush green meadows, all set against the backdrop of the idyllic foothills of the Alps. As you approach the Königssee, you’ll be struck by its narrow, elongated shape, nestled between steep rock faces. From the shore, only a small portion of this fjord-like lake is visible. It’s well worth taking a serene ride on the silent electric boats to the pilgrimage church of St. Bartholomä, situated on a picturesque peninsula.
