Cycling holiday on Germany's Top River Routes is nature experience and a journey along culinary heritage 🍽😋
The Ems invites you to a monastery picnic full of local dishes🧺☕
With its 385 kilometres, the EmsRadweg follows the river Senne from the edge of the Teutoburger Forest to the North Sea. A trip through five varied and attractive, flat holiday landscapes. Including the culturally and historically rich Münsterland, known for its water castles, moors and marshlands of the Emsland. Along the way, reserve time for a picknick in the garden of Klooster Bentlage in charming Rheine including a museum visit and get to know regional dishes. Or visit the historic Papenbörger Hus in Papenburg for a traditional buckwheat pancake ‘Bauckweiten-Janhinnerk’ with cranberries. This charming old farmer's and captain's house is the showpiece of the von Velen complex and offers a glimpse into the region's prosperous past.Also fun: sampling fresh dairy products from the farmer in the Melkhüskes along the route, Westphalian rye bread from the Enkingsmolen in Emsbüren and East Frisian tea with herring in the northern regions.
Those going for a day of convenience can hop on a train by bike; there are 30 stations along the route 🚄

White sausage breakfast and a Radler during a stop along the Danube 🍻
The varied Danube Cycle Route is just over 600 kilometres long and runs from its source to Passau, aka the Venice of Germany. Easy to cycle through flat and partly hilly countryside in four or more day stages. There is more than enough to see of castles, monasteries and palaces and plenty of culinary delights. At beer breweries and beer gardens, Radler, a mix of beer and lemonade, is on the menu. Or a typical Bavarian breakfast with white sausage as a base for a cycling day. A Bavarian folk proverb says that white sausages should not be heard ringing the bell at noon and should therefore be eaten in the morning. As a Danube cyclist, lentils with spatzle or homemade Maultaschen, popularly known as ‘Herrgottsbscheißerle’, should also not be missed. According to legend, they were made during Lent by monks from the Maulbronn monastery, who wanted to hide the meat from God. Sweetness also comes in the form of the Donauwelle, a cake made of light and dark dough like the waves of the Danube, with sour cherries, butter cream and cocoa🍰

The Mosel-Radweg reveals the secret of local wines 🍷🍇
Swaying the bike tyres along the largely flat Mosel cycle path is the way to get to know the Moselle region with its vineyards and historic villages like Cochem. The route stretches 248 kilometres from Perl to the Deutsches Eck in Koblenz and strings together several vineyards. This calls for a stop to taste local wine such as seasonal speciality Federweißer. This lightly sparkling wine made from freshly pressed grapes that remains fermented in the bottle is mainly drunk in September and October🍂 With a traditional piece of Zwiebelkuchen, an onion quiche. Also visit the Strausswirtschaften, wine taverns. Is there a wreath hanging outside or a witch's broom? Then there are kindly priced, locally produced wines on the menu with simple but good meals. A relic from the time of Charlemagne.

How do I travel to my cycle tour❔
🚄 Ideally by train: on the one hand, this is environmentally friendly and, on the other, there is no need to "collect" a car at the end of the tour. Please note that tickets for bicycles must be booked separately and that the bicycle compartments on ICE trains are limited. 😴 Overnight train connections from the Netherlands and Belgium with European Sleeper and from Austria with Österreichische Bundesbahnen (ÖBB) Nightjets make travelling particularly convenient.
🚍 Alternatively, we recommend travelling with long-distance buses such as FlixBus which have a Europe-wide network of connections.
