Cycle Germany: From Alpine Spires to the Sacred Silence of the Black Forest
Germany offers cyclists hidden gems that combine elegance and wilderness, from the steep, fragrant climbs of the Black Forest to the crystal-clear shores of the Bavarian Alpine lakes.
In Bavaria, cycle through lush green countryside dotted with onion-domed churches and lose yourself among the facades of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, richly decorated with traditional frescoes. Gaze upon the dreamlike silhouettes of Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau castles, perched high upon their promontories.
Further west, in Baden-Württemberg, the Black Forest spreads its deep canopy for a timeless interlude on the edge of Alsace. Discover the medieval charm of Freiburg before challenging the volcanic hillsides of the Kaiserstuhl. This exceptional vineyard, bathed in a sunny microclimate, produces some of Germany’s finest wines: Pinot Noir Spätburgunder. In Bavaria, as in Baden-Württemberg, the experience continues after the stage in the intimacy of a Biergarten, where tasting a local beer becomes a noble and authentic ritual of recovery.
From King Ludwig II’s fairytale castles to the frescoed streets of Garmisch and the mirror-waters of the Königssee. Discover one of Europe’s most secret regions on two wheels.
Ride the volcanic vineyards of the Kaiserstuhl, and breathe the medieval charm of Alsace. Immerse yourself in a bike tour through a timeless land of silent woods and noble wines.

The window opens in late May and closes in early October. June is for the high Alpine passes and the deep, cool canopy of the Black Forest. September is the peak of the season: the Vosges mountains stand in stark relief, and the Rhine valley vineyards hit their prime.
Bavaria offers majestic, steady climbs on impeccable asphalt, framed by limestone summits and emerald lakes. Further west, the Black Forest and the Kaiserstuhl provide a more intimate challenge with punchy volcanic hills and deep woodland hairpins. Every route is curated to favor quiet and panoramic roads.
With its fairytale castles and traditional farms, Bavaria has an extraordinary historical heritage and cherishes its traditions. The Black Forest, meanwhile, has long been a land of legends. The enchanting landscapes, which look like something out of a Grimm fairy tale, reveal themselves as you drive along the scenic roads.
