Fancy a trip to the geographical center of Bavaria? Then this tour is just right for you. Three crisp climbs, historically significant highlights, and a top-notch "Coffee Break" await you.

Let's start in the baroque city of Eichstätt. For the first almost 20 kilometers, you'll warm up relaxed before the climb in Kipfenberg challenges your calves. It leads you directly to the geographical center of Bavaria – the "navel" of the Free State. Marked by a multi-ton Jura boulder, the lines between North-South and East-West cross exactly here. Standing in the heart of Bavaria once is a sublime feeling, and the proof photo at the memorial stone actually belongs in every well-maintained road bike album.

Afterwards, you'll be rewarded with lonely high plateaus and top-notch asphalt. Here you can enjoy absolute tranquility, with almost no car traffic. After a good 56 kilometers, the well-deserved reward awaits you at the Hotel-Gasthof Baumann. Here, Bavarian hospitality has been a top priority for 5 generations – the perfect place for an espresso or a cool refreshment before you roll back relaxed to Eichstätt.

Eichstätt Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

The baroque town of Eichstätt is definitely worth a tour. Above all, the cathedral and the Willibaldsburg with the Jura Museum are well worth seeing. Among other things, a famous fossil of Archeopteryx is on display at the castle.

Baumann Hotel & Inn

Highlight • Restaurant

A true gem of Bavarian hospitality. Tradition is paramount here: The inn has been run with passion for 5 generations and offers cozy accommodation where you immediately feel at home. A special highlight is the in-house butcher shop – it doesn't get any fresher or more regional. All this at an unbeatable price-performance ratio. An absolute must for connoisseurs!
