You will find our cycling holidays in northern, central, and southern Germany cover all corners of the country along some of Europe's best cycle paths and routes. There is a range of diverse experiences waiting to be explored from the dramatic Bavarian Alps to the famous Romantic Road cycle routes.

Rivers and lakes also characterise Germany too. The famous rivers also have long-distance cycle paths next to them including the Danube, Rhine, Elbe, and Weser. Germany is one of the best places to go on a cycling holiday in Europe and it is no surprise that cycling holidays are one of the most popular holiday types here.

You'll be able to experience the country's superb network of cycle paths that offer almost unbeatable levels of quality including the Rhine Cycle Route which is the flagship route of the EuroVelo network.

Northern Germany

Quiet beaches on the Baltic Sea, quaint fishing villages, thatched houses, and modern cities await you in northern Germany. On near-perfect bike paths, you’ll cycle from one highlight to another on flat terrain.

Discover the Weser Cycle Path, the city of Lubeck, the East Frisia islands and the bustling city of Berlin on a unique tour of the Brandenburg region.

Central Germany

The rivers of Germany are the main highlight of any cycling holiday here. The riverside cycle paths run for hundreds of kilometres and are very easy to follow. Enchanting castles, palaces, and vineyards will accompany you on your way.

A cycling holiday in central Germany offers a combination of relaxation and daily activity. Discover the Moselle Cycle Path on our tour which is ideal for families. We also have cycle tours along the Rhine from Strasbourg in neighbouring Alsace to Mainz.

Southern Germany

Beautiful landscapes, great cycling paths, delicious cuisine, great beer, and sparkling lakes are all highlights of southern Germany. It really is one of the best places to go on a cycling holiday anywhere in Europe.

We have several cycle tours in beautiful Bavaria and around the international region of Lake Constance. There are also dedicated lakeside cycle tours around the Bavarian lakes too.
