This 30-kilometer long and with just over 200 meters of ascent easy pleasure route takes cyclists through the southwesternmost corner of the Pfaffenwinkel. Highlights are the Welfenmünster Steingaden, the Wieskirche, the Premer Lechsee and many moors, the so-called "Filze".
The route is one of six day routes in the most beautiful moor landscapes between the Wieskirche, Murnau and Benediktbeuern under the motto Land der Moore – Cycling routes between the Lech and Loisach
The area between Peiting, Forggensee and the Ammer valley is one of the scenic highlights of the Bavarian Alpine foothills. Ice age glaciers left here, alongside countless small lakes, hundreds of large moor areas, above all the Murnauer Moos, and small moors, the "Filze". Atmosphere-rich landscapes full of mystique, around which many stories revolve. These biotopes are today more protected and a diverse habitat for rare animals and plants. The moors also play an important role in climate protection – they are a significant carbon storage. And the moor can do much more: In Bad Bayeroisen and Bad Kohlgrub it is used as a natural healing remedy. By bike, this unique flora and fauna in the Alpine foothills between Pfaffenwinkel, Ammergauer Alps and Blauer Land can be discovered with all the senses.
A short detour on foot is worthwhile at the Premer Filz and at the Wieskirche on the Brettleweg towards Steingaden. Please do not take bicycles into the moor area!

Consideration makes paths wide
Please note that in our region you often cycle on agricultural paths. You are very welcome on these paths, but they are of course also used by farmers with their vehicles to cultivate the land. Due to the width of the vehicles, the paths can sometimes get narrow. The paths remain wide enough if all users are considerate of each other and move aside when necessary to make space for others. Please note that large machines often cannot leave the paths. Therefore, as a cyclist, please move aside if it gets tight!
Thank you very much for your understanding and consideration for the people who have to work here!
Thematic routes "Land der Moore" consist of a total of six loops, which can be combined in many ways depending on condition and demand. Both day trips and multi-day tours are possible. Character: Due to glacial carving, the terrain is predominantly flat, but the former terminal moraines still form one or another obstacle to overcome.
The individual loops are:
Steingaden - Urspring
This short loop starts and ends in Steingaden. It leads counterclockwise to some of the area‘s scenic and cultural highlights. It starts right at the Welfenmünster, in the middle of the historic monastery village. Free parking is available at the Kissingerstraße car park. Past the Bismarckweiher swimming lake, you cycle through rolling Alpine foreland towards Deutensee. Just before the lake, turn left, cycle through a few small villages and hamlets and reach the Lech dam at Urspring.
Urspring – Prem
South of Urspring you cross the main road and pedal on traffic-free farm roads to Steingädele. On the way to Lechbruck, you can take a short detour on foot on the moor nature trail into the Premer Filz. Please do not take bicycles into the moor! After this "leg stretch," you cycle on towards the Lech. On the orographic right side of the Lech, you go south towards Prem. Time for a well-deserved break! For example, at the inn in the Lechaue or the Café Magdalena in town. At the Premer Lechsee, you can enjoy a wonderful Alpine panorama with Tegelberg, Säuling and the Tannheimer Mountains. But the second part of the round awaits!
Prem – Wieskirche
From the Lech dam, turn now east and climb over ice age terminal moraines, about 150 meters elevation, to the highest point of the round at Reißholz. Through the Resle, you cycle in an easy up and down through the nature reserve "Moors around the Wies" to the world-famous pilgrimage church. Tip: On the Brettleweg you can hike on foot through the idyllic Wiesfilz. Please do not take bicycles into the moor!
Wieskirche - Steingaden
Five kilometers after the Wieskirche, the loop closes again after about two hours of cycling.

Three multi-day hikes lead through the most beautiful corners of the Upper Bavarian Pfaffenwinkel, whose culture has been shaped by numerous monasteries over centuries. The quiet hiking trails connect churches, monasteries and places of power in nature. The three pilgrimage routes start and end at Hoher Peißenberg, which offers a panoramic view over the entire region and is predestined as an important pilgrimage site. The northern loop with a length of 96km and 7 day stages connects Hoher Peißenberg with the monasteries Wessobrunn, Andechs and Polling, crossing the Paterzell yew forest as well as the unique Hardt landscape north of Weilheim. "Bubbling springs" – the theme of the route – are not only found in Wessobrunn, which according to legend was founded by Duke Tassilo III at the site where he found a spring in the shape of a cross after dreaming of a spring whose water flowed in four directions.
