Active with the Family Through Germany
Germany is ideal for an active family holiday – diverse, easily accessible, and full of beautiful landscapes. Many cycle paths are well-developed and clearly signposted, allowing you to travel safely and comfortably with your children. Particularly enjoyable are tours along the country’s many rivers, where the terrain is mostly flat and stages are easy to manage. At the same time, Germany’s numerous lakes – especially in Bavaria and Brandenburg – invite small detours and refreshing breaks. Whether you prefer a leisurely ride or discovering new favorite spots, Germany offers families the perfect mix of nature, activity, and little adventures.
