Geographically, the district is located in the south of Germany and borders the Bavarian capital Munich. The region is characterised by its idyllic landscape, which ranges from rolling hills to picturesque river courses.

One of the most famous sights in Freising is undoubtedly the impressive Domberg complex with its Romanesque cathedral of St. Maria and St. Korbinian and the baroque New Bishop's Court. The Diocesan Museum with its extensive collections on the art and cultural history of the diocese of Freising is also worth a visit.

Culturally, Freising also has a lot to offer: The Weihenstephan Music Festival and the Old Town Festival are popular events for locals and tourists alike. The region also has a lot to offer in the way of culinary delights - in addition to traditional dishes from Bavarian cuisine, you can also enjoy international specialities here.

For outdoor fans, there are many opportunities to actively explore the district: Whether hiking on one of the numerous hiking trails or cycling along the Isar cycle path - everyone gets their money's worth here! In winter, the Wendelstein ski area is a great place to go skiing and snowboarding.

And if it should rain? Then, for example, the Weihenstephan Brewery Museum invites you to visit or enjoy a cup of coffee in one of the cosy cafés in the old town.

By the way, it is particularly beautiful in autumn, when the landscape looks especially idyllic due to the colourful leaves and the scent of fresh hops. So a travel guide for Freising should definitely be on your list!

    Wir haben die Tour in umgekehrter Richtung bis Peiting gemacht, weil wir den Rest schon kannten. Bis dahin wunderbare Tour mit kulturellen und botanischen Highlights.

    Die Tour ist empfehlenswert und landschaftlich interessant. Der Hopfenanbau wird einem wirklich gut aufgezeigt. Wir waren während der Erntezeit unterwegs, vom 19.-21.09.24. Zwischendrin kommen allerdings einige ordentliche Steigungen, aber diese sind zu schaffen. Ein Teilstück - die Straße zwischen Hohenwart und Freinhausen - ist durch den starken Verkehr und die schnellen Autofahrer nicht so schön.

    Funktionale Tour bezogen auf Wasser. Lässt die Bademöglichkeiten bei Seite. Man kommt den Flugzeugen sehr nahe. Ich schätze 500 Höhenmeter nur entfernt.

    Herrlichstes Wetter, viele Leute unterwegs und die beste Gelegenheit, neue Freunde kennenzulernen. Am Flughafen selbst, die Flieger stehen noch zum Teil auf dem Rollfeld, mit einem Fernglas schön anzusehen!

    Schöne kleine Sträßchen mit wenig Verkehr. Landschaftlich sehr hübsch! Wir haben die Schleife im Osten und den Abstecher in den Weltwald wegen der Kondition der Kinder auslassen müssen, aber der Rest war toll!

    Vielen Dank an Thomas fürs erstellen und hochladen dieser tollen Tour! Wirklich schöne Strecke auf meist sehr verkehrsarmen Straßen. Bis auf ein paar hundert Meter Schotter zwischen Aich und Sempt top fürs rennrad geeignet. Hier gegebenenfalls umfahren. Auch ist momentan (Juni 2021) die Brücke über die B15 gesperrt, weshalb man ein paar extra Kilometer für die Umfahrung in Kauf nehmen muss :)

    Schöne, hügelige Strecke. Um Freising herum leider doch etliche Hauptstraßen und kurz hinter Au i.d. Hallertau gibt es knapp 2km auf einem Matschweg, der absolut nicht rennradtauglich ist. Für einige clevere Seitenstraßenabkürzungen und die schöne Landschaft gebe ich gerne 4 Punkte

    Das ist eine sehr schöne Tour. Durchaus abwechslungsreich. Noch ein Tip von einem Einheimischen: Wenn man bei Langenbach links den Berg hochfährt, und an der Bergkuppe entlang fährt, hätte man wunderbare Aussichten auf das Ampertal. Wir haben uns aber dennoch an deinen Vorschlag gehalten.
