Truly magical sights await you in the picturesque Allgäu. There’s a reason the fairytale King Ludwig chose the beautiful Allgäu as the location and home for his stunning fairytale castles. And if there had been such good rental bikes back then, he would certainly have been an enthusiastic guest on our Allgäu lakes tour. Let yourself drift through the fantastic landscape, guided by the wonderful weather, marvel at the royal palaces and historic castles and enjoy the tranquillity of the beautiful lakes. The cosy boutique hotel DreiMädlerhaus at the Weißensee or the traditional Altstadthotel Hirsch in Füssen will take care of your well-being and pamper you.

Immerse yourself in a wonderful cycling holiday full of magical sights, perfect cycle paths, beautiful landscapes and regional specialties. With every kilometre you cycle, notice how the everyday stress melts away in the Allgäu sun and you can fully devote yourself to relaxation.

The slightly hilly terrain will challenge you on the one hand and reward you with wonderful views on the other. But please also expect some steeper climbs. Most of the time you cycle on perfectly kept cycle paths and farm roads and sometimes on easily navigable natural paths. The perfect mix of relaxation, sporting activity, culture and cuisine.

  • Neuschwanstein Castle: Probably the most famous castle of the fairytale King Ludwig II is not only on the UNESCO World Heritage list, but is also one of the most popular sights in Germany! Don’t miss out on this piece of culture.
  • The Allgäu Lakes: There’s a reason why this rally is called the Allgäu Lakes. Use the wonderfully cool lakes of Bavaria as an opportunity for a refreshing dip, as a beautiful photo backdrop or simply as a uniquely beautiful resting place during your cycle tour.
  • The famous Allgäu cheese: Wonderfully flavoursome, gently aromatic, nutty-mild, or would you prefer smelly? The Allgäu is known and loved all over Germany for its cheese. Look forward to delicious tastings in one of the many cheese dairies.

Whether on your own bike or a perfectly maintained rental bike -  enjoy the seven-day tour through the wonderful Allgäu over varied stages between 20 and 70 kilometres. The level of difficulty and the feel-good factor are tailored to the needs of leisure cyc.ists – there is still enough time to visit and enjoy warm days by the lake.

The Allgäu region is world-renowned for its cheese specialities.

In addition to cuisine and culture another beautiful bathing spot awaits at the Schwaltenweiher-pond.
