Tour description

Set off on a one-of-a-kind cycling adventure through Northern Alsace, where every kilometer brings you closer to the region’s celebrated craft beer scene — including a visit to the iconic Uberach brewery. Alsace is a true brewing heartland, shaped by centuries of tradition and know-how.

Your journey begins in Strasbourg and follows a cross-border route that lets you experience both France and Germany as you ride across the Rhine. The itinerary leads you through endless hop fields — Alsace’s “green gold” — charming half-timbered villages, and the peaceful forests of the Northern Vosges Regional Nature Park and the Haguenau area. Well-maintained bike paths and quiet backroads make this a relaxed and immersive cycling experience. Let the breweries, landscapes, and local hospitality guide you. Each glass you taste tells a story, and the passionate brewers you meet along the way offer a window into a craft that has shaped the region for generations.

Europe Bike Tours was wonderful on our bike trip from Prague to Kraków. Due to health reasons, we had to switch to a premium electric bike at the last minute, and they accommodated us. The electric bikes made the trip a dream and gave us more time to see sites. When we had a couple of issues on the road they sent somebody on a taxi to deliver parts. The accommodations were wonderful, the direct...

Excellent experience. I traveled alone from Colombia. I took the Prague to Passau tour. Communication was excellent, as was the bike (I requested a gravel bike). The hotels were good, all bike-friendly (they had a designated bike storage area). Highly recommended.

Our party of four enjoyed ourselves immensely riding the standard Prague-to-Dresden route in reverse, found the hotels to be a nice balance of convenience and comfort, and had zero issues with the bikes. We have used the RidewithGPS app before and found it to be a great asset on this ride too. We highly recommend bike tours.com and their in-country affiliates. William A.

My wife and I recently completed a guided 8-day cycling trip from Prague to Krakow. We enjoyed it thoroughly. The scenery was beautiful. The back roads we cycled on were generally quiet with very few motorized vehicles, although cycling through a few towns was a little sketchier. The cycling itself was easy to moderate, averaging just over 60km/day with an average elevation of just over 300...
