Cycling day trip from Munich to Tegernsee

Ready for a classic Bavarian bike ride? Start your journey in the heart of Munich, famous for its beautiful architecture, beer gardens, and relaxed cycling vibe. The route to Tegernsee is about 68 km long—a solid half-day adventure, with a moderate ascent of nearly 670 meters, making it a rewarding trip for anyone with a little climbing stamina.

Leaving the city behind, you’ll ride mostly on smooth, paved paths and quiet country roads, weaving through leafy suburbs and picturesque villages. There’s a stretch or two of gentle gravel tracks, but nothing a standard bike can’t handle. You’ll pass through lush farmland and alongside forested hills, with the Alps teasing you on the horizon as you get closer to Tegernsee.

Once you arrive, you’ll be welcomed by a postcard-perfect lakeside town, known for its crystal-clear waters and the famous Tegernseer brewery—a perfect spot to unwind with a cold drink by the lake. Enjoy the view, you’ve earned it!
