Gita in bici di un giorno da Bad Reichenhall a Schönau a.Königssee

This scenic ride starts in Bad Reichenhall, a charming spa town known for its alpine saltworks and historic flair. Heading south, you’ll weave through peaceful Bavarian landscapes, rolling past hills and forests—and yes, there’s a good bit of climbing, so get set for some nice views as you gain almost 500 meters in elevation.

Most of the journey is on quiet roads or bike paths (shoutout to the 85% asphalt!), which means minimal traffic and plenty of time to soak in the scenery. As you approach Schönau am Königssee, the terrain tilts down and the air feels extra fresh—this area is famous for the emerald-green Königssee and dramatic mountain backdrops.

Overall, this is a rewarding ride covering just under 24 km. The route is ideal if you love a mix of peaceful riding and challenging climbs, plus a destination that’s literally picture-perfect. Don’t forget your camera for the finish at Königssee!
