Cathedral treasures and bathing pleasures - from Freising to Stoibermühle

Key facts of the tour
Once an excavation pit, now a bathing paradise: In summer, the local recreation area "Stoibermühle" just outside Freising is the ideal destination for families. A cosy lake with a shallow shore, lots of greenery all around and a beer garden with regional delicacies next door. It's hard to believe that excavators were digging and making noise here 30 years ago. Back then, gravel was excavated for the A92 motorway and the pit was then turned into a recreational area. There is no sign of the excavators today, and the faint sound of the nearby motorway can hardly be heard as you splash around happily.

The best way to discover the lake is on a bike tour from Freising. The highlight for families: the paths of the 15-kilometre circular tour are very safe and child-friendly, and there are many exciting corners to discover. It passes the Isar floodplains, for example, where you can refresh your feet. In the "Luitpoldanlage", a playground with a large slide tower beckons. And finally, discover one of the most impressive churches in Bavaria - Freising Cathedral - which will also amaze children.

A cycle tour for families, nature lovers and culture vultures
