Description
Our tour starts at the historic Benediktbeuern Abbey and follows quiet bike paths through one of Bavaria's most biodiverse moorland landscapes. Passing Kochel am See, we reach the idyllic Eichsee before cycling back to the monastery along the Triftkanal.
Along the way, you can expect impressive nature, vast moorland areas, crystal-clear waters and stunning views of the Benediktenwand and the Bavarian foothills of the Alps. Depending on the time of year, we will discover rare plants such as globeflowers, irises or native orchids, and, with a bit of luck, we will spot birds of prey such as red kites, black kites, buzzards or falcons.
The route is almost completely flat and mostly on quiet paths. If you like, you can take a break to swim at Lake Eichsee or enjoy a leisurely stop at the monastery's beer garden, a café in Benediktbeuern or an ice cream parlor in Kochel.
Depending on the group, the tour can be flexibly extended by an additional 10 to 20 kilometers.
