WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN CYCLING IN GERMANY

A land of fairytale villages and impossibly beautiful scenery, cycling in Germany is a dream. Not only are there a wealth of things to see and do, but the amazing cycle infrastructure makes pedalling one of the most enjoyable ways to experience the country. Although Germany is best known for its medieval towns and love of beer, the variety of scenery and cultures is second to none.

In the west, the fertile Rhine and its many tributaries paint the landscape. Rivers like the Moselle carve beautiful valleys laced by vineyards, where you can taste delicious Riesling wine in picturesque villages. In the south, Lake Constance transports you to a world of serene waters and tranquil cycling routes. At the end of your day, enjoy delicious local German specialities with a glass of refreshing Radler.

Things to do in Germany

Cycling in Germany

Cycling in Germany

The cycle infrastructure in Germany is fantastic and most of our routes here are pancake flat. On our tours, you’ll be following riverside paths or lakefront trails, ensuring a leisurely experience. One of our favourite parts of pedalling here is the variety of views you’ll enjoy when cycling; a riverbend can often reveal hidden villages that look as if taken right out the pages of a fairytale. 

Riesling and Radlers

Riesling and Radlers

Germany is famed for its delicious drinks, and when you visit, you’ll discover so much more than beer. Like neighbouring Alsace, Reisling is made in the western regions. This deliciously sweet wine pairs perfectly with the perfectly salty dishes in a marriage of flavour. In southern Germany, you’ll find many types of Radler beer, lager’s mixed with a huge variety of fruit juice or lemonades. These refreshing drinks are the perfect excuse to stop for a drink during your journey. 

Land of Fairytales

Land of Fairytales

It’s no wonder that most fairytales come from Germany. Enchanting forests, tranquil lakes, mountaintop castles and charming villages are found throughout the country. As you pedal, marvel at the half timbre houses and cobbled streets lined with flowers. Towns like Bernkastel-Kues have been wonderfully preserved, so you feel like you’re stepping back in time to a world of medieval tales and royal intrigue.
