I started at castle Neuschwanstein in southern Bavaria and cycled to Lake Constance and took the 7 Lakes Veloroute through Switzerland (which passed through Lucerne, Zug, Interlaken, Gstaad, Lausanne, Geneva), then on to Lyon, down the Rhone valley to the French coast, Cote d'Azur, Génova, lake Garda, Verona, Venice, Salzburg and Munich. The highest point on the route was Hochtor Pass, 2504 m a.s.l. There was still a bit of snow there in July.

The whole thing took me 5 weeks and included 7 countries, including Liechtenstein and Monaco.
