Bavaria

[Thehairs1970]

We are considering a tour in Bavaria - next year, if…

Our route, at the mo, would be from Lake Constance to Salzburg. Any advice on the route and cheaper, smaller campsites? We are not interested in places with pools, clubhouses etc. They aren’t a no no but we prefer smaller and don’t really want to pay for things we won’t use.

Thanks in advance.

Seefeld is nice

There is a signed route, the Koenigsee Route (https://www.bodensee-koenigssee-radweg.de/de/startseite), from Lindau heading east along the Germam/Austrian border which takes in the likes of Neuschwanstein, Chiemsee and Berchtesgaden which is just a handful of miles from Salzburg. The Bikeline guide is excellent and there are plenty of campsites along the way. I've used sites at Immenstadt, near Fussen, Bad Tolz, Chiemsee and Koenigsee none of which were too posh!. The nearest camping to Salzburg i found was just to the south of the city towards Hallein at Au.

I can find the exact details but i don't have them immediately to hand, pm me if you have specific q's

I wouldn't go if you like beer. Virtually impossible to find drinkable beer in Bavaria.

Tried Andechser Dunkel? Two of those with your Schweinshaxe and your riding's done for the day.

I was joking. Bavarian beer is stunning!

there are some good private breweries along the Koenigsee route, at least one is in an Abbey - think trappist

I couldn't read it any other way.

There are recent discussions about Lake Constance and about from the Danube to the Rhine:

I have looked at the Brompton/Bodensee post but we do not want to go round Lake Constance (we think).

The Danube? I don’t think the Danube goes that way does it?

Yes, I did catch on. I used to love Bavarian beers, Franziskaner Dunkel in particular. Funnily enough, though, when a chum from Munich brought me a 12-pack it was Pilsner Urquell.

Ever tried deep-fried Allgäuer Camembert with red currants?

We rode that way in 2018 as part of a trip from Zug to Vienna and back, riding along the south shore of Lake Constance and then through southern Bavaria until crossing back into Austria to get to Salzburg. Here are links to the GPS recordings off my Garmin for the days between Winterthur and Salzburg.

Ignore that Garmin Connect identifies these all as gravel/unpaved cycling - there was the occasional section of unsealed cycle route along farm roads, but the great majority was on sealed backroads/cycle routes. We stayed in hotels/apartments, so can't help with information on camping.

Will you fly out from UK?
If so, details please.

If you're not 100% wedded to Konstanz, then you could fly to Muenchen and ride the Isar Radweg south until it meets with the Radweg previously mentioned. May be easier going via a large hub.

[Thehairs1970]

Regarding transport out. We will be driving. Not welded to the route I said but it seemed a start.
