Bikepacking de Munich à Achenkirch

Get ready for a scenic adventure from the urban buzz of Munich to the alpine charm of Achenkirch! Your ride kicks off in Munich, the heart of Bavaria, known for its beautiful architecture, leafy bike paths, and of course, beer gardens.

You’ll head south, trading city streets for peaceful, winding roads—about 35% of the route is on quiet stretches where you can soak in rolling fields and classic Bavarian villages. As you approach the Alps, expect the scenery (and the climbs!) to ramp up; you’ll conquer a total ascent of nearly 1,400 meters, with most of the ride on smooth asphalt or paved surfaces.

Make sure to pack some snacks for the journey—this is a full-day, nearly 173 km ride! The last stretch brings you past shimmering lakes and into Achenkirch, a charming Austrian town nestled at the edge of Lake Achensee. It’s the perfect spot to rest, dip your toes in the lake, or enjoy a slice of Apfelstrudel with a view. Enjoy the ride!
