Overview

About this collection

The Trans Bayerwald South route cuts across the Bayerwald – lots of nature, long climbs, and plenty of offroad. Gravel, forest, and meadow trails dominate, with sections on quiet secondary roads; dedicated bike paths are rare. Expect significant elevation gain and sometimes rough terrain – ideal for MTB or a sturdy gravel bike with wide tires. Perfect as a multi-day bikepacking tour or a sporty challenge in one go. Along the way, you'll encounter dense forests, wide vistas, and peaceful villages for relaxing breaks. Plan stages flexibly according to fitness and daylight, and pack enough provisions and rain gear – weather in the Bayerwald can change quickly. Those who love gravel will get the full dose of nature and flow here.
