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.

Wörthseeschlössl

Munich

Wörthseeschlössl sits on Mausinsel, the small island in the Wörthsee, visible offshore from the eastern lakeside path. A fortified manor first stood here in 1446, built by the Munich Katzmair family; the Toerring family replaced it with today's hip-roofed summer residence between 1770 and 1772. Its upper floor holds a hall with Rococo decorative paintings, but the castle is privately owned and cannot be visited.
