Route
|
The Bodensee-Königssee-Radweg is a 418 kilometer long long -distance cycle path in Bavaria .
course
The Bodensee-Königssee cycle path leads from Lake Constance through the entire German Alpine foothills to the Königssee . Starting in Lindau , it first crosses the Allgäu , then leads along the edge of the Alps past many of the Bavarian lakes and finally reaches the Königssee south of Berchtesgaden in Schönau .
Elevation profile
The Bodensee-Königssee cycle path runs at an altitude of between 400 m and 1000 m and is mostly quite hilly.
Path quality
The Bodensee-Königssee Cycle Path runs mostly on paved farm roads and roads with little traffic. Short stretches are unpaved. Some longer sections run right next to federal highways, so noise pollution is to be expected here. In places the cycle path is not yet finished, so that you have to drive on roads with more traffic.
