City, country, river

What does this country not have to offer! Sea? Cycle along the North Sea or Baltic Sea. Forest? Cycle through the Black Forest or the Spreewald. Lakes? Lake Constance is a highlight, but the Munich lakes are also not to be sneezed at or the Müritz lake district. Rivers? Along the Rhine, Danube, Moselle, Weser and many, many others, cycling is great and there are no climbs. Cities? Munich, Cologne, Berlin... From the North Sea to the Bavarian Alps, you'll discover a variety of different regions and cycling paradises full of beauty and variety.

Berlinish or bavarian

Germany is diverse and varied, also when it comes to its culture and language or dialects: listen to Low German on your cycle tour through the north, it has been recognised as a language in its own right and included in the European Charter for Regional and Minority Languages. In Bavaria you will encounter Franconian and Bavarian dialects, yo mei. Perhaps you'd like to babble Hessian, chat Swabian or experience a real Berliner Schnauze, eh? Et kütt, wie et kütt, they say in Kölsch. So let's see what regional specialities you will discover, because there are not only linguistic but also cultural differences.

Lugworms or wolves

The diversity is hard to beat: Fans of a stiff breeze cycle along the North Sea and Baltic Sea. You'll discover moorland on the Fehnroute in East Frisia, forests in the Black Forest, which is actually rather dark green. There are countless rivers in Germany along which cycle paths lead. Do you like to have a view of the mountains? Then head for the Harz mountains or Bavaria and the edge of the Alps. Almost all regions have nature parks or even national parks where you can find out about the special features of the respective natural areas. Do you prefer lugworms or wolves? It's all there. You just have to decide.

Your questions - our answers

Are bike tours fun?

Definitely yes - and there are many reasons for this:

You experience the world more intensely because you're right in the middle of it on a bike and not just whizzing past
You slow down, no traffic jams, no time pressure, no stress - the journey is the destination
Cycling is meditative: pedal by pedal, completely in the flow
Pure flexibility - A stop to jump into a lake? Take a nice photo? No problem, stop whenever you want
Physical activity = happiness hormones - the movement wakes you up, makes you happy and you fall into bed in the evening really satisfied and tired
Discovering little gems: off the main roads, the most beautiful places and surprises are often waiting to be discovered

Which is the most beautiful bike trail in Germany?

Germany offers numerous spectacular cycle paths that wind their way through picturesque landscapes, river valleys and historic towns.
Among the river cycle paths, the Weser Cycle Path is one of the most beautiful cycle paths in Germany. Its picturesque course and varied route will inspire you.
If you are more drawn to the coast, then the Baltic Sea cycle route between Flensburg and Usedom scores highly with its beaches, cliffs, fishing villages and seaside resorts.

How will my luggage be transported?

To ensure that you can travel completely carefree at all times, we transport your luggage on all our tours. This applies to both our individual cycling tours and our guided tours. You don't have to worry about a thing, because we make sure that your luggage is waiting for you at your next destination from stage to stage. You drop off your luggage at the reception at 9:00 a.m., our transporter picks it up and brings it to your next hotel by 6:00 p.m. at the latest.

Is there a return transfer to the starting point?

For your comfortable return journey, we offer an optional return transfer for most of our tours. This picks you up directly at your last hotel and takes you comfortably back to the starting point of your tour. So your cycle tour ends relaxed and stress-free.

Can I take my own bike with me on the return transfer?

Yes, please indicate when booking that you will be taking your bike with you on the return transfer.
If you book a return transfer, your bike will be carefully secured and transported on a bike transport trailer. The trailer offers sufficient space and protection to ensure that your bike arrives safely at its destination.

Are there secure parking facilities for my bike or e-bike at the accommodation?

Our partner hotels are also carefully selected with regard to bicycle safety. Whether you are travelling with a touring bike, e-bike or family bike - your bike is always safely stored. Depending on the accommodation, there is an underground car park, a lockable bike yard or a sheltered storage facility in the inner courtyard. So you can relax and enjoy your cycle tour in the knowledge that your bike is in good hands.

How short notice can I book a trip?

Trips booked less than 14 days in advance are considered short notice and are only possible on request. We will endeavour to implement your desired trip in the best possible way, but ask for your understanding that there may be bottlenecks due to limited hotel availability.
In addition, it is unfortunately no longer possible to send printed travel documents for Velociped original tours for short-term bookings - you will only receive all documents in digital form. For tours organised by our partners, printed travel documents will be available at the starting hotel.
