Germany
Germany is a superb cycling destination with an extensive network of long-distance cycle routes, excellent infrastructure and a deeply embedded cycling culture. From the river valleys of the Elbe and Rhine to the forested hills of Saxony and Bavaria, the country offers extraordinary variety for the touring cyclist. German cycling paths are among the best maintained in Europe, and the combination of historic towns, quality food, welcoming accommodation and well-marked routes makes planning a self-guided tour straightforward and enjoyable. Whether you are crossing from the Czech border along the Elbe or exploring a single region in depth, Germany rewards the cyclist with new discoveries at every turn.Popular Cycling Routes in Germany
The Elbe Cycle Route (EuroVelo 4) is one of Germany's most popular long-distance paths, following the river from the Czech border through Dresden, Wittenberg and Magdeburg to Hamburg. The route is flat, superbly signposted and passes through a UNESCO World Heritage landscape. The Rhine Cycle Route offers dramatic valley scenery through castle country, while the Romantic Road connects medieval Bavarian towns in the south.
What Makes Cycling in Germany Easy
Germany has invested heavily in its cycling network. Dedicated cycle paths are the norm rather than the exception, and maps, signage and digital navigation tools make self-guided touring simple even for first-timers. The flat Elbe valley in Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt is particularly accessible. Accommodation options range from budget guesthouses to historic hotels, and luggage transfer services are well established throughout the main corridors.

Our Germany cycling tours can be combined with the Czech Republic for a cross-border Elbe journey, one of the most popular routes we offer. All tours include pre-booked hotels, daily luggage transfer, route documentation and emergency support throughout your trip.
