Isar-Inn cycle path

Stage 1: Munich – Bad Tölz
Today we leave Munich and head south on the Isar cycle path to our stage destination Bad Tölz. Along the Isar, we pass numerous towns, including Grünwald, known for the Bavaria Film Studios, as well as Wolfratshausen and Geretsried. Our overnight stop, the town of Bad Tölz, benefited early from its optimal location on the Isar. It was once used as a transport route by rafters and is now a tourist attraction. In 1899, the town became a spa town and has since been allowed to call itself "Bad" Tölz. Sightseeing highlights include not only the old town but also the Marienstift and the St. Leonhard Chapel on Kalvarienberg with a splendid view of the Isar mountains.

Stage 2: Bad Tölz – Mittenwald
Today the cycle path first takes us to Lenggries. We then continue to the turquoise Sylvenstein reservoir, perfect for a first small break. Passing Vorderriß, Wallgau, and Krün, we enter the Werdenfelser Land. Our destination for today is Mittenwald, where the Isar leaves the mountains. The landscape is shaped by the wild, rough, and pristine character of the Isarwinkel.

Stage 3: Mittenwald – Telfs
Today's stage goes past the Leutsch ghost gorge towards Leutasch. After a short climb behind Mittenwald, we continue for a long time along the valley road. We repeatedly cycle along the Leutascher Ache. The Zirler Berg is closed downhill for cyclists; therefore, the route takes the traffic-calmed path through the Leutasch valley. Another short ascent follows after Buchen. Then a long descent leads into the Inn valley. Today's destination is Telfs, the third-largest town in Tyrol. Thanks to its sunny location, it is considered one of the most beautiful areas in the region.

Stage 4: Telfs – Jenbach
From today, we cycle along the Inn cycle path. Just 14 km behind Telfs is the only wine village in Tyrol: Zirl. The famous Martinswand near Zirl towers deeply into the Inn valley and limits the Innsbruck valley floor. The cycle path leads, mostly flat, always near the riverbank to Innsbruck. Well marked and secured, the cycle path guides through the city, always along the bank. The water of the rushing mountain river shows the characteristic pale green, somewhat cloudy from the suspended particles that the Fusse carries in its source area in the Swiss glacier region near the Maloja Pass. At the end of the northern riverbank, we see the 2300 m high Wilde Kaiser. The cycle path leads continuously to Jenbach.

Stage 5: Jenbach – Rohrdorf
From Jenbach, the cycle path runs along the Inn bank, overall flat and paved. After Brixlegg, the path goes through residential areas and, from Radfeld, through meadows to Wörgl. The view now falls on the slow river through the floodplain landscape. From Kufstein, we see the breakthrough of the northern limestone Alps, which later crosses with the valley of Großache. After the Austrian-German border, we pass the air spa towns of Kiefersfelden, Oberaudorf, and Flintsbach. We follow the Inn cycle path on the right bank and have the opportunity to visit the Pilgrimage Church of the Visitation of Mary. It is only a few kilometers to Rohrdorf, today's stage destination.

Stage 6: Rohrdorf – Wasserburg
Rosenheim, the next and largest town on the Inn, lies directly at the mouth of the Mangfall. The cycle path takes us over the hills of the Bavarian Alpine foothills to Wasserburg. This town, our destination today, is considered the most beautiful town on the Inn and lies picturesque in a tight river bend.

Stage 7: Wasserburg – Munich
To get from Wasserburg back to Munich, today we follow the Isar-Inn panorama path. The start of this route is on the Red Bridge, directly over the Inn. Over gentle hills and large moor areas, we reach Grafing. Along the way, new views open onto the panorama of the Alps again and again. After leaving the forests and ice age moraine landscapes behind, side roads and cycle paths take us back into the state capital Munich. The end of the route is marked by the Ludwigsbrücke.
