MuSeenLandschaft Expressionism: Stage 3 - Murnau Castle Museum - Franz Marc Museum

3:20 h 275 hm 289 hm 43,2 km moderate

This route is the third stage of a multi-day cycling round trip, which starts in Munich at the Lenbachhaus and then makes a loop through the MuSeenLandschaft via Bernried at Lake Starnberg, Murnau, Kochel, and Penzberg.

Enjoy art and nature - between Munich and the edge of the Alps

Upper Bavaria like from a picture book. Picturesque towns, beer gardens, baroque churches, façade paintings – a fascinating holiday experience against the majestic backdrop of the Bavarian Alps. Nowhere in Germany is there a landscape that combines art and nature enjoyment as intensively as between Munich and the Alpine foothills. Five museums await cyclists where they gain a concentrated and high-quality overview of German Expressionism. Especially in the Alpine foothills it is advisable to combine museum visits with impressive bike routes.

From Murnau, the 3rd stage initially leads on a large loop around the Murnau Moos, before heading via Eschenlohe to Ohlstadt, where we meet the Loisach cycle path, which takes us to the Franz Marc Museum in Kochel am See. The collection includes, alongside the art of the "Blue Rider," important works of the Brücke Expressionism as well as outstanding pieces by Paul Klee and significant paintings of abstract art after the Second World War. Marc expressively interpreted the mountain world around Kochel, which he considered his second home throughout his life.

All starting points have a train station, so the routes can be combined arbitrarily, regardless of the starting point.



Sicherheitshinweise:

Consideration makes paths wide

Please note that in our region you often cycle on agricultural paths. You are warmly welcome on these paths; however, these paths are of course also used by farmers with their vehicles to manage the fields. Because of the width of the vehicles, paths can sometimes become narrow. Paths remain sufficiently wide if all users show mutual consideration and step aside when necessary to make room for others. Please note that it is often not possible for large machines to drive off the paths. Therefore, as cyclists, please move aside when it gets tight!

Thank you very much for your understanding and consideration for the people who have to work here!

Use of paths along rivers

We are pleased that the Weilheim Water Management Office has created dike paths along the rivers that cyclists are allowed to use.

Please note that these paths were created for water management purposes and do not always meet the quality standards of cycle paths. Especially after construction work, flooding events and storms (uprooted trees) the paths may have damage or impassable sections. Furthermore, occasional construction traffic is to be expected.

Please use the paths with appropriate caution and observe the traffic signs on site! Use of maintenance paths is at your own risk.



Weitere Infos und Links:

The route has been signposted since autumn 2023.

In addition to the multi-day stage tour, there are also four developed round tours through the MuSeenLandschaft that start at the four museum towns. These individual loops are modularly structured, so there are options both for (shorter) multi-day routes as well as for individual day loops. This allows not only the various museums to be connected, but also the landscapes that inspired the artists in their works to be experienced on the connecting stretches.

All starting points have a train station, so the routes can be combined arbitrarily, regardless of the starting point.
