By bicycle from Munich to Grünwald

This ride takes you from the bustling heart of Munich all the way south to the scenic suburb of Grünwald. Starting near Marienplatz, you’ll quickly leave city traffic behind as you pedal along a mix of dedicated cycleways and quiet roads—perfect for soaking in the views without too much interruption.

The route is friendly for most bikes, since the vast majority is on smooth asphalt (over 88%), with only a couple of short patches of gravel or paving stones. Expect a gentle climb out of Munich, with about 121 meters of ascent, but nothing too daunting on the legs. Most of the way, you’ll enjoy green surroundings and, if you time it right, glimpses of the Isar River.

Grünwald greets you with tree-lined streets, classic Bavarian charm, and the impressive Grünwald Castle perched above the river—a nice spot for a breather or a quick photo op. All in all, it’s a peaceful break from city life just a short ride away!
