Explorers’ Cycle Tour in the Quellenviertel – Discover places steeped in history

Some places tell their stories very quietly. You just have to stop for a moment and listen.

Along the ‘Discoverers’ cycle tour through the Quellenviertel and neighbouring Bavaria lie places where history remains visible to this day. Historic town squares, castles and palaces, churches, museums and small places of remembrance line the various route options.

It’s not just about major historical dates or thick history books. Sometimes it’s an old city gate, a church along the way or a façade that makes you realise: that’s been standing there a bit longer than we have.

If you look more closely, you’ll discover traces of very different eras along the way – from the Middle Ages and centuries-old trade routes to figures and events from more recent history. So, before you know it, your cycle tour turns into a little journey through time.

Would you like to experience the discovery cycle tour from a different perspective? Discover also the nature experiences, most beautiful viewpoints, places to enjoy a bite to eat and special experiences along the route.
