By bicycle from Munich to Karlsfeld

This relaxed ride starts right in the heart of Munich, a city famous for its beautiful architecture, beer gardens, and lively atmosphere. You’ll pedal northwest out of town, following mostly smooth, paved paths—perfect for a leisurely cruise. The route is roughly 17.4 km, with gentle ups and downs, and only about 50 meters of ascent, so it’s not too strenuous even if you’re easing into cycling.

You'll wind through a mix of park paths and quiet roads, with a bit of gravel here and there to keep things interesting. Much of the ride is away from busy traffic, so you can enjoy the scenery—especially as you get closer to Karlsfeld, a peaceful suburb known for its green spaces and pretty lakes.

This is a great way to see a different side of Munich, stretching your legs and ending your ride in Karlsfeld, where you might want to check out the Karlsfelder See for a post-ride dip or picnic. Happy cycling!
