Tour character
The cycle tours require at least a basic level of fitness, which you should have acquired by occasional or daily cycling. The routes can take you up to an altitude of about 100 – 300 metres above sea level. You will cycle between 20 and 40km each day through hilly and mountainous terrain. You have plenty of time to complete each cycle ride.
Sometimes there will be steeper climbs, but of course it is okay to push your bike if you want to. The roads are mostly asphalted and there is little traffic outside of holiday-periods. It's your choice whether you want to cycle self-guided with maps and information material or if you want to do a guided cycle tour. Anyone under the age of 18 is required to wear a cycle helmet.

Insgesamt war es eine ganz tolle Reise. Gute Planung und Organisation, schöne Ziele, sehr gutes Essen, nette Leute. Ein wenig schade war nur, dass es keine Fahrradtaschen gab.
