The consistently signposted 300 km route can easily be driven in 5-6 daily stages and runs along one of the most famous Roman roads in southern Germany . 15 miles pillars (stone pillars taller than a man) document the course and importance of the road since the time of Emperor Septimius Severus. The milestones are set up as replicas at selected points.
In the last third of the long-distance cycle path , in the ADFC RadReiseRegion Chiemsee-Chiemgau, the Chiemsee awaits cyclists as a special highlight . In the former bathing resort of the Romans , in Seebruck , you can visit the Roman museum Bedaium and the taverna. The lively port, the lake promenade and the lido with probably the best view of the Bavarian Sea and the Alps invite you to take a break and stroll.
