The Velociped team

Anja Benndorf

Managing Director

My favourite tour: the Lake Constance bike tour. Cycling across 3 countries without losing sight of soothing water, this is only possible at the Lake Constance. Going for a swim in a fantastic location and in sunny weather, and simply continuing by boat in case the bike doesn't want any longer …. The Lake Constance makes it possible!

Daniela Scheiler

Deputy Managing Director
Head of Logistics & Marketing

My favourite tour: the Münsterland bike tour. I've grown up on the so called "Pättkes" (a typical regional term for small paths) in Minsterland and still love them. It's not only cycling along the river but also through woods and fields – a child's play thanks to the good signposting.

My favourite tour: a round trip through the Lüneburg Heath. As I ride through the heath, I am surrounded by a purple paradise, a soft, harmonious landscape perfect for relaxed cycling. Simply great.

Frank Natz

Travel Expert

My favourite tour: the German Danube. I find it fascinating to see the very small beginnings of what becomes a truly majestic river downstream. There are a multitude of delightful landscapes along the spring of the river. The scenery eventually changes, with magnificent palaces, castles, and abbeys all around. It’s like you’re growing with the river as you ride this route.

Frank Natz has been working for Velociped since 2012. His focus is on: the Moselle, Saar, the Rhine River the German Danube and the Baltic Coast.

Janina Lang

Travel Expert

My favourite tour: the Atlantic coast from Coimbra to Lisbon. Portugal offers all the amenities of Southern Europe: plenty of sunshine, great beaches, and a culture going back centuries. But it’s the people who I really find one-of-a-kind. Nowhere else have I encountered so much warmth and openness.

Christine Jockel

Travel Expert

My favourite tour: the Moselle river bike trail with Charming Hotels. There is no better way to combine pleasure and activity. During the day the Moselle river offers me the best views: dreamy little towns among the vineyards, idyllic river landscapes, imposing castles. And every night there is another Charming Hotel highlight … that is enjoyment with a capital E.

Christine Jockel has been working for Velociped since 2018. Her focus is on: the Moselle, the Saar, the Lüneburg Heath, the Ems, East Frisia, Passau-Vienna and Italy.

Anika Lindner

Travel Expert

My favourite tour: the Weser bike trail. I just have a weakness for old timber-frame towns like Hann, Münden or Rinteln. The Weser provides a magnificent background: from the forested hills of the Weserbergland through the North German Plain to the wonderful expanse of the North Sea.

Anika Lindner has been working for Velociped since 2019. Her focus is on: the Weser, the Fulda, the Werra, Thuringia, and the Netherlands.

Raimund Weinig

My favourite tour: the Main bike trail. There’s so much to see, not to mention the good wine and tasty food. My personal favourite is the ‘Gerbergasse’ in Wertheim. In the beautiful old town you can enjoy a relaxing coffee break – and take great pictures!

Steffi Groß

Travel Expert

My favourite tour: Berlin: Havel, Oder, Spree round trip. I like it authentic. Cake like grandma‘s, «Fassbrause», Spreewald gherkins, endless avenues and a forest and natural landscape interspersed with thousands of water areas. I can take a deep breath here.

Without borders, the route winds through the varied landscape between Germany, Holland and Belgium. Important world heritage sites, quaint villages and towns with a lively cultural scene make the tour incredibly diverse. For me, this is Europe you can touch.

Dounia Lebbeida

Travel Expert

My favourite tours: Charm hotel tours. For me, the icing on the cake of a successful cycling day is an accommodation with a certain something. Whether romantic half-timbered hotels, rustic wine environment, luxurious 4-star wellness or an imposing castle. I love the individual ambience that gives an active holiday a special setting.

Jörg Grolla

Travel Expert Hawaii

My favourite tour: Hawaii.
When I cycled Hawaii for the first time, cyclists were still a rarity there. I was overwhelmed not only by the extraordinary beauty of nature, but also by the open and hospitable nature of the Hawaiians, who spontaneously invited me to their home at that time. To this day, we are guests of the Keli‘iho‘omalu family of musicians and experience genuine Hawaiian culture and hospitality.

Jörg Grolla was responsible for planning the Hawaii trip and has been accompanying the tour since then as a tour guide.

Elke Schmidtke

Accounting

My favourite tour: the Lahn bike trail. I love the variety the routes along the Lahn offer: flat scenic stages through picturesque valleys, proper climbs now and then, romantic castles and forts, a little industrial history and lots of culture. And all this practically on my doorstep!

Christian Meyer

Workshop Manager

My favourite tour: The Black Forest round trip. As a mountain biker and racing cyclist, I am thrilled by mountains. It doesn’t matter how you get up there. Whether you are using your own muscle power, an electronic bike or a railway – the most beautiful views and long descents are a royal reward! Towns such as Freiburg, Bad Säckingen and Basel guarantee daily variety – and get the heart and mind in the holiday mood.
