Cycling stops in Munich
27 places · Germany
Munich's riding points south. The Isar leaves the city on its own path and keeps going toward the mountains, and within an hour the ground starts to fold: Starnberger See and Ammersee first, then the moraine hills, then the Alps themselves standing across the horizon on a clear day.
It is one of the few big cities where a rider can be in genuine foothills before lunch and back for dinner.
