September is normally the time of year when Bavarians start to train for Oktoberfest, honing their celebrating tendencies and even going as far as Munich to slosh around in the city's famous beer halls. The short wedge of time between Central Europe's summer and winter is also an excellent time to get among the changing leaves and make the most of any end-of-season fall, or else make up for missed targets.

Wander 75km south of Munich to the small Bavarian village of Bad Kohlgrub for nights September 21st and 22nd and enjoy a weekend of cycling . . .
