Allgäu & Spätzle Ultracycling – Road

Spätzle Road King showcases the finest road cycling in the Allgäu Alps, taking riders across legendary mountain passes, quiet alpine roads, and picturesque valleys in southern Germany and western Austria. Created by ultra-cyclist and world record holder Daniel Steinhauser, the event is designed for riders seeking a demanding self-supported road adventure through one of Europe’s premier cycling destinations.

Starting and finishing in Bad Waldsee, Germany, the route covers 430 kilometres with approximately 7,000 metres of elevation gain. Riders follow a fixed GPX through the Allgäu, crossing into Tyrol, Austria, before tackling a series of scenic alpine climbs, fast descents, and quiet country roads that showcase the region’s spectacular mountain landscapes.

Spätzle Road King follows a strict self-supported philosophy. Riders are responsible for their own navigation, food, accommodation, and mechanical repairs, with no outside assistance permitted. Participants can choose between Race and Adventure start formats, combining the challenge of ultra-distance cycling with a welcoming community atmosphere based in Bad Waldsee.

Blending iconic Alpine roads with breathtaking scenery and a relaxed event spirit, Spätzle Road King is an ideal challenge for endurance cyclists looking to experience the best road riding in the Allgäu. It delivers a rewarding mix of long climbs, flowing descents, and unforgettable mountain views.
