Augsburg to Schongau: Scenic Ride Through Bavarian Countryside

Set off from Augsburg, a city with Roman roots and a vibrant history, and enjoy a beautiful ride south toward Schongau. The route is about 84 km long, mostly along paved paths and quiet roads—perfect for a relaxed but rewarding cycling day.

Early on, you’ll cruise through peaceful Bavarian villages and farmland. With only moderate climbing (about 476 meters ascent), most cyclists will find the terrain pleasantly rolling, not too demanding. The surroundings become increasingly picturesque as you approach the foothills of the Alps, with Schongau’s charming old town perched above the Lech River waiting at the end.

Schongau itself is a medieval gem, known for its well-preserved city walls and historic buildings. Treat yourself to a coffee in the lively market square or stroll along the ramparts for great views. This route is a wonderful way to soak up southern Germany’s landscapes and culture—all at the pace of your own pedal strokes!
