On two wheels

A fantastic scenery unfolds on either side as you pedal: Gently rolling hills, flowering meadows, lush orchards, rippling rivers, quiet villages and towns.

Bed&bike

Travelling with your own bicycle demands special accommodations. The Bed&Bike operations offer exactly that: A one-night stay when you are on a tour, a locked room to park the bicycles or to dry clothing, or the loan of tools are just some of the criteria met by these accommodations. They are certified by the ADFC (Allgemeiner Deutscher Fahrrad-Club).
