Bike tours for children in Munich: 3 easy tours along the Isar River
This family's experience:

Activities: We enjoyed several bike tours along the Isar. "The bicycle path is mostly wide and clear here, there is hardly any incline, and you can take bathing and playing breaks everywhere on the Isar itself."

Highlights: The kids loved the opportunities for swimming and playing breaks. "It has happened more than once that our children have declared the planned bike tour to be a swimming afternoon." ✨
