Overview

An eight day adventure cycling in Bavaria, on a carefully–crafted circular itinerary that starts and ends in Nuremberg. This is a foray into the Franconian region of Germany, an upland utopia in northern Bavaria where you’re surrounded by peaks, but follow trails through meadows and forest that are moderate, and even easier if you use an e-bike. The other feature of this tour is, of course, that you are cycling through traditional beer-producing Bavaria, so there is no shortage of breweries and cooling down at the end of your day of cycling. This tour is also accessible by rail.
