Description of days

Day 1: Individual arrival
You can go by bus transfer before the tour or directly to Innsbruck.

Day 2: Innsbruck – Imst approx. 65 km
On the former Treidelweg (Treidel Path) you cycle along the Inn and through the small villages (churches worth seeing, old aristocratic houses, fortress ruins) to Stams (baroque Cistercian convent, convent museum) on through Haiming to Imst.

Day 3: Imst – Fuessen approx. 55 km
Today you go to Hahntennjoch (2000 m) by bus, except arrival in May via “Fernpaß”. A wonderful downhill ride to Elmen and Lech follows. The splendid mountain landscape, the mountain river and the town of Reutte get you into the right mood for a dream journey.
The city of Fussen, surrounded by magnificent peaks of the Alps and blue-green mountain lakes invites you for a stroll around the city (pedestrian zone, you see the outline of the Via Claudia).

Day 4: Fuessen – Schongau approx. 50 km
King Luis' fairy tale castles in Koenigswinkel - Hohenschwangau and Neuschwanstein - and at the valley station of the Tegelberg you should see the uncovered Roman thermal springs. The world famous Wieskirche (church) - the epitome of Bavarian rococo - is the next highlight.
Through Steingaden and Peiting you will experience the highlights of the landscape and will arrive in Schongau filled with good impressions.

Day 5: Schongau – Landsberg / Lech approx. 45 km
Schongau - former Bavarian boarder fortress - with fortified passages on the town wall that can still be accessed - gives evidence of the past. The splendid view over the Lech Valley promises greatness.
Old part of town (Romanesque basilica with vaults), Hochenfurch, Epfach (the Roman Abodiacum, Roman museum) and Vilgertshofen (baroque pilgrimage church) are the places of interest before you reach Landsberg.

Day 6: Landsberg – Lake Amersee – Landsberg approx. 45 km
Along side roads you cycle via small, baroque villages to the western bank of the Lake until you reach Utting. If you like you can visit the monastery of Andechs by ship (not included).

Day 7: Landsberg/Lech – Augsburg approx. 45 km
You should see the mediaeval city centre of Landsberg / Lech - embedded in a wild-romantic river bed of the river with the same name - the historic town hall and the Gothic Bavarian gate.
Through Kaufering am Lech to Konigsbrunn (with the 11 km long, best preserved part of the Via Claudia), into the old Bavarian duke city of Friedberg and on to the Fugger city of Augsburg with the famous Fuggerei (trading company of the Fugger family and an old part of Augsburg) from the year 1516.
