Cycling day trip from Augsburg to Füssen

This scenic ride takes you from the historic city of Augsburg, with its charming old town, Renaissance architecture, and Roman roots, all the way south to the fairytale town of Füssen at the foot of the Alps. Covering about 120 km, the route lets you soak in Bavaria’s peaceful countryside while gently climbing nearly 800 meters. Most of your journey will be along quiet roads and dedicated paths, with smooth asphalt nearly the whole way—almost perfect for road bikes.

You’ll roll through green farmlands, past sleepy villages, and catch glimpses of distant mountain peaks as you approach Füssen. Save some energy for the last stretch: Füssen sits close to the famous Neuschwanstein Castle and is a gateway to alpine adventures. This route is ideal if you love a long, steady ride with rewarding views and a fairy-tale finish. Don’t forget to explore Füssen’s cobbled old town (and grab a pastry!) before you head home.
