Germany

Bike paths and fairytale castles

Learn more about touring in Germany

With abundant rivers, valleys and mountains, it’s no surprise Germany is a top cycling destination. Explore ample bike paths, either meandering along a river or through rolling hills and countryside.

Germany’s fairytale castles, romantic villages and bustling cities are surrounded by a wealth of pristine landscapes. Explore northern Germany’s coastal terrains along the Baltic Sea, including Hamburg, a harbor city of canals and waterways.

Southern Germany’s Bavaria region features the snow-tipped Alps, the Black Forest, the Danube River, and picturesque cities. Uncover this country’s unique regions and cities on two wheels—there is something for every skill level here.

What a great way to experience Germany first-hand! We toured castles, Roman ruins, shopped, ate snacks and lunch, and took advantage of any and all photo ops. We absolutely cannot wait to do this again. Best vacay ever!”
