On the water cycle paths through Upper Bavaria

Away from the water cycle paths, there is so much more to discover between the Lech, Inn, Salzach and Isar rivers - enough for many exciting cycle tours away from the main routes of the Hop & Beer Loop, Art & Culture Loop and Salt Loop. The travel special provides a total of 19 tips for enjoyable cycle tours in Upper Bavaria.

For example, on the trail of Empress Sisi and King Ludwig II around the Fürstensee lake, on the 170 kilometre Hallertau hop tour through the largest contiguous hop-growing area in the world or on the ArchitekTour through the beautifully restored town centres in Wasserburg, Mühldorf and Burghausen.

The Upper Bavaria special was an extra issue in MYBIKE 1/2020. You can download the complete travel special with all travel information as a PDF below the article. The special costs 2.99 euros.
