Cycling

An easy bike tour through moorland, health resorts and the Murnauer Moos nature reserve with wonderful views over Lake Staffelsee and the Alps on the horizon.

The Staffelsee panoramic circuit leads not only to the Blue Land but also to the Ammergau Alps Nature Park and guarantees a variety of landscapes. Via Seehausen and Uffing we reach the Obernacher Moos nature reserve. The path takes us via Bad Bayersoien and past the picturesque Soiersee to Bad Kohlgrub with its hamlets. Finally, we drive on well-developed paths through the enchanting Murnauer Moos and ultimately return to our starting point in Murnau.

Directions

From Murnau train station we cycle north to Seehausen. From there we continue to Uffing. In Uffing we turn into the Obernacher Moos nature reserve. The route goes through the moorland from Obernach to Kirmesau and Bad Bayersoien. On the southern outskirts of Bad Bayersoien we pass the picturesque Soiersee, which is always worth a refreshing jump into the cold water in summer. We continue east through the hamlets of Bad Kohlgrub and through the town center of Bad Kohlgrub.

We now go on well-developed cycle paths into the Murnauer Moos nature reserve. Whether it's a shrike, corncrake or adder, carnivorous sundew, Siberian iris, bedbug orchard or Charlemagne's scepter, in the Murnauer Moos - the largest contiguous and largely original moor area in Central Europe, there is still a great wealth of plant and animal species that have not existed elsewhere for a long time gives. At the end of the Murnauer Moos we come to the Ähndl inn and drive back to Murnau to our starting point.
