It was one of our best and most complete cycling trips last year. In 🇩🇪 FRANCONIA, GERMANY, along the Tauber-Altmühl Cycle Route, everything fits together perfectly. The natural charm of the cycling path is complemented by medieval towns and villages, including Germany’s “romantic” gem - Rothenburg ob der Tauber 👇

The section of the route from Rothenburg to Kelheim is just around 250 kilometers - a perfect distance for an extended weekend or as part of a longer cycling holiday.

Among the routes that can make you fall in love with cycling tourism, I always mention the Alpe-Adria. The way the route is organized, the creative use of old infrastructure and the attractions along the way... 💚 Link? The comments!

The Alpe-Adria is one of several, perhaps a dozen, tourist cycling routes in Europe that enjoy the best reputation among cycling tourists. This attractive, trans-Alpine bike route has an official length of 415 kilometers, runs through two countries and three Alpine regions: in Austria through Salzburger Land and Carinthia and the Friuli-Venezia Giulia in Italy.

The Alpe-Adria begins in the medieval old town of Salzburg, leads through, among others, Bischofshofen, known for its winter ski jumping competitions, takes a peek at Bad Gastein, hanging on the cliffs, passes through a tunnel under the High Tauern - the highest range of the Austrian Alps and then through picturesque Carinthia reaches the well-known Villach, where Austria's popular cycling routes intersect.

Soon after, it crosses the Austrian-Italian border and, along the edge of the Julian Alps, on former railway cycling paths and in an increasingly Mediterranean atmosphere, through Gemona del Friuli and Udine, runs all the way to Grado, on the warm waters of the Adriatic.

The LAKES ROUTE in 🇨🇭 Switzerland, in our eyes, is one of the best cycling routes in Europe. With its excellently planned path and stunning places to discover along the way, it truly stands out.

The route takes you through the Rhine Valley, Lucerne, Lake Geneva, Lausanne, as well as many smaller towns and picturesque alpine landscapes, though it avoids the highest mountains. There are some uphill stretches to tackle, but they remain a very enjoyable level of effort. We dive deeper into this route in our latest blog article 👊
