On the chapel tour through the Pfaffenwinkel

Key facts of the tour
Gently undulating, with quaint villages and the Alps always in view: This is how the Pfaffenwinkel in Upper Bavaria presents itself. The name "Pfaffe" is no coincidence, as nowhere else in Germany are there as many church spires as in the holiday region between Lech and Loisach, Ammersee and the edge of the Alps. The Pfaffenwinkel region is home to 159 churches, chapels and monasteries. One of the most beautiful cycle tours to experience these sacred treasures is the 27-kilometre "Chapel Tour" from Weilheim. From the charming Ammer town, you set off into a landscape characterised by meadows, moors and glacial hills - the drumlins - and dotted with numerous little churches. What makes it special: Far away from mass tourism, you can still walk along secluded paths here and at the same time experience precious things from the Middle Ages to the Rococo period.
