Key facts of the tour
Gentle hills, sweeping views of the countryside, even as far as the Alps, fields, ponds, lakes and floodplains. The landscape is uniquely beautiful. Time and again you come across small places of worship, chapels and churches.

The tour leads from Weilheim to Dießen via Zellsee and Wessobrunn. On the return journey, you follow the Ammer-Amper cycle path to Weilheim. The route is moderately difficult, with around 300 metres of ascent. An enjoyable tour for e-bike riders.

You can hire e-bikes from (E)Radel.de. The bike will be delivered to and collected from the railway station for an additional charge. You should register your requirements with the bike hire company at least two days before the start of the excursion and arrange pick-up and drop-off times.

As restaurants and inns in the region often only open in the late afternoon or early evening since the pandemic, it would be a good idea to pack a small picnic.
A cycle tour for nature lovers and culture vultures

Arrive relaxed and hire bikes from local hire companies. The capacity for taking bikes on the trains is limited and, depending on capacity utilisation, it is not possible to guarantee that you will be able to take your own bike with you.
