Munich to Herrsching am Ammersee Cycling Route

Ready for a ride from the vibrant city of Munich to the lakeside calm of Herrsching am Ammersee? This route is about 47 km and mostly flat, with some gentle hills adding a little variety (but nothing too dramatic).

Along the way, you’ll pass through charming Bavarian villages, open fields, and patches of forest—perfect for soaking in a bit of the south German countryside. The surface is mostly smooth asphalt, so you don’t have to worry about rough gravel or cobblestones.

Your destination, Herrsching am Ammersee, is known for its beautiful lake (Ammersee), local beer gardens, and a classic lakeside promenade. It’s the perfect spot to dip your feet in the water or grab a cold drink after the ride. All in all, it’s a pleasant escape from the city and a fantastic way to experience Upper Bavaria at your own pace!
