Dear internationals,

Are you ready for the ultimate Munich cycling adventure? 🚴 Forget the standard city loops — we’re taking you on a "Grand Tour" that covers everything from deep forests and hidden river rocks to the world-famous English Garden!
This is a full-day excursion (approx. 55-60 km) designed for those who want to see the wilder side of Munich's nature. We’ll be pedalling through some of the most beautiful, bike-friendly trails in the region.

This event is part of the Social Impact Days, with the cause of promoting a healthy lifestyle through sports and social inclusion!

🗺️ THE ROUTE HIGHLIGHTS:
- We start at the iconic Bavaria Statue, cycle through the green Westpark, and pedal through the massive Forstenrieder Park (watch out for wild boars!)
- We'll descend to the Isar to reach the legendary Georgenstein, a giant rock in the river and perfect spot for a halfway picnic and to dip your feet in the water.
- From Grünwald, we'll follow the eastern riverbank all the way north past Unterföhring, enjoying the endless river views.
- We'll cross back into the Englischer Garten and cycle south to finish at the Monopteros for a view over the city.

🎒 WHAT SHOULD I BRING?
- A reliable bicycle (check tire pressure and brakes beforehand) If you don't have one, there are several renting options in the city (MVG, Radius Tours, Mike's Bike Tours, etc).
- You can also get a cheap, second hand bike on Kleinanzeigen or places like Bellevue di Monaco (https://bellevuedimonaco.de/veranstaltung/radlkeller-werkstatt/2026-01-19/)
- Lots of water and snacks
- Cash for possible kiosks, supermarkets and biergarten along the way
- A small towel and swimming clothes in case you want to have a dip in the river
- Sunglasses and sunscreen
- Helmet recommended

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a long ride! Make sure you are comfortable cycling for several hours. We’ll keep a steady, social pace, but a basic level of fitness is required.

Let's hit the trails!

With lots of love,
Team ESN MESA
