Szybka przejażdżka rowerowa z Berchtesgaden do Schönau am Königssee

This quick ride takes you from the charming alpine town of Berchtesgaden down to Schönau am Königssee—perfect for a leisurely morning spin or a scenic commute! You’ll cover just under 5 kilometers, weaving through a mix of quiet roads and tracks, with a gentle rollercoaster of about 110 meters up and down—enough to keep things interesting, but not too tough for most riders.

Starting in Berchtesgaden, you’ll see classic Bavarian architecture and postcard-perfect mountain backdrops. The route is mostly paved but expect a little gravel and some tracks (so a hybrid or gravel bike is ideal). As you approach Schönau am Königssee, get ready for jaw-dropping views of the emerald-green Königssee lake, nestled in the heart of Berchtesgaden National Park.

Both towns are gateways to some of the most beautiful natural scenery in Germany, with hiking, boat trips, and, of course, more cycling routes waiting at either end. Don’t forget your camera!
