The home of Cycling

Cycling is far more than an environmentally friendly form of transportation. Cycling is enjoying steadily growing popularity. Trails, pump tracks, smaller dirt parks and larger bike parks have been springing up like lilies of the valley in spring. Road cycling is also extremely popular as a way to keep fit and cover long distances as quickly as possible in the beautiful natural surroundings.

ALL OF MUNICH IN A FRENZY

Europe's fastest track cyclists will make the fans at the Messe München go wild. For the European Championships, a temporary track will be built in one of the exhibition halls.

High Profile

Starting in Landsberg am Lech, the 129.8-kilometre route will lead the athletes past Lake Ammersee and Lake Starnberg to Wolfratshausen and over its hill, all the way to Munich via road B11. The final showdown will take place on a technically challenging 13-kilometre circuit through Munich's city centre.

Starting in Murnau a. Staffelsee, the race will cover 209,4 kilometres through the picturesque foothills of the Alps. The route will take the men's field along lake Walchensee, through Jachenau, Bad Tölz, Eurasburg to lake Starnberg and down Olympiastraße to Munich. Following five gripping final laps through the city centre, all eyes will turn towards the finish at Odeonsplatz, where escapees will cap their performance or the leading road cyclists will sprint for the European Championship title.
