Routes / Munich Germany to Vienna Austria

« on: May 12, 2021, 03:50:44 pm »

I am looking at a bike tour of southern Germany to Vienna. Starting in Munich I would love to ride down to see Neuschwanstein Castle, then on to Innsbruck, Salzburg and ending in Vienna. Looks like there is a Eurovelo cycle route from Salzburg all the way to Vienna, but what about from Munich to Innsbruck and the side trip to Neuschwanstein? I'm okay with riding on roads with traffic but obviously want to limit that if possible.

Gear Talk / Touring bike for 80% pavement, 20% gravel/dirt

I am looking to upgrade my touring bike from an entry level road bike to something a bit better suited to touring. I plan on spending most of the time on pavement, but I want to be able to do gravel/dirt roads or well worn double track. I'm looking for suggestions in the $1 - $2k range.
