The 45-kilometre cycle tour north-west of Lake Ammersee starts and ends in Fürstenfeldbruck. The approximately 165 metres of elevation gain are somewhat challenging, but easy to manage. The scenic highlights include the Amper floodplains, the Ampermoos and the Rothschwaiger Forst. The crowning glory is the monastery area in Fürstenfeldbruck with its baroque monastery church. There you can cool your feet in the Amper Canal and then recharge your batteries in one of the two restaurants. At the start, you cycle through the Amper floodplains with their Leiten forests.
You then reach the picturesque village of Schöngeising and take a detour to the idyllic Jexhof farm museum, where the beer garden invites you to take a break. The route continues across the Amper in Grafrath, through the Ampermoos to the south, to the turning point in Türkenfeld. From here, the route leads back through fields and forests. The other stops are the village of Landsberied, the forest adventure trail in Rothschwaiger Forst and Fürstenfeld Monastery. Two thirds of the route is on tarmac, the rest on quiet gravel paths. The tour can be extended with a loop to the northern shore of Lake Ammersee - don't forget your swimming gear!
The 21-kilometre river tour on the Amper from Ammersee to Fürstenfeldbruck is a fun and humid alternative. From Stegen am Ammersee, the route briefly takes you under the motorway in a rather dreary manner, then into secluded nature: through the Ampermoos with bizarre dead tree formations, mostly through landscape and nature reserves. After about half the route, the more adventurous will tackle the riverbed ramp, but this can be avoided on land. At the end of the tour is the Amper-Oase indoor and outdoor swimming pool, and there is also a caravan park.
