Hey all,
Planning a 350km bikepacking trip and would love to get some feedback or suggestions from anyone familiar with the area.
I’ll be riding an e-bike (battery range ~150–200km per charge) and aiming to do the whole thing in about 6 nights / 7 days max – though I’m open to finishing a bit quicker if things go smoothly. I’m still deciding between camping or staying in hotels along the way (leaning towards a mix of both, depending on the vibe), so open to options.
A few questions:
- Are there any places I shouldn’t miss along the way?
- Any small detours worth adding for views/food/history/camping?
- Are there any nice towns or accommodations (camping or hotel) you’d recommend staying in?
- Any parts of the trip that you think I should reconsider or modify?
- Any advice or feedback is super appreciated. First longer trip on the ebike, so trying to keep things flexible but still well-planned.
Thanks in advance!

Camping in Germany is illegal unless in designated areas which are few and far between. Do you live in Munich or are just planning to start there?
But the castle in the middle of Chiemsee is super cool and it’s a super pretty area, and theres a great little cafe near the Prien am Chiemsee Bahnhof I Stop at anytime I go there.
@op
The Isar Radweg, the Bodensee -Königsee Radweg and the (I’m guessing) Isar-Inn Panorama Radweg are all well signed and easy to follow.
Rode each of them over the years without getting lost or dying.
Your only problem might be finding a charger for the battery, unless you’re going to take that with you adding to your weight.
Personally, I think the route is easily doable on a proper bike without a motor.
Hey, i am originally from a small village around Chiemsee. So I obviously (maybe a little biased) advise you to do a part of the cycling path around the lake 🙂 Also nature in between the little cities is nice, and calm to ride (i would advise you to do that and skip altenmarkt or e.g. Traunreut). Have fun!
I rode the sempt-isen path a few years ago. Not quite on the route you planned, but also highly recommended.
rode from munich to salzburg last year via
grafing -> bad endorf (actually by those mini lakes through eggstatt) -> around chiemsee north shore until chieming -> traunstein
and would definitely advise you do the same, that bit was awesome.
you can skip altenmarkt, traunreut and even waging (it pales against chiemsee and you dont get much lakeview from the cyclepath, althogh it is generally a nice ride.
Not bad, I would follow the Isar a bit further south until Bad Tœlz and then ridi the Bodensee – Königssee radweg Eastwards. From Königssee it’s a nice 25 ish km ride to Salzburg.
The way back looks good, it’s basically the Via Julia. This whole area is simply very nice to bike. I did it a lot and still do enjoy it.
