Cycling in the Eifel: a great alternative
We make no secret of it, cycling in the mountains is the best thing for us to do. That we 'have' to do most of the kilometres through vast meadows, along the Dutch delta and occasionally climb the Dutch hills is certainly not a punishment, but nothing beats the mountains. In order to [...]
Cycling in the Veneto: Unknown Parco Naturale Regionale Della Lessinia
Anyone going cycling in Italy almost automatically thinks of the Dolomites, the Stelvio and Tuscany. But all over Italy, thanks in part to the Appennines, beautiful stretches of cycling fun await you. For in Lombardy you can go up nicely, for example at Lake Como. Or how about Piedmont? Or Emilia Romagna, which we all [...]
How do I choose my next cycling destination?
The answer to the question in the title is not easy. Of course, the right area for your cycling holiday depends on many factors. At least, for us it certainly does. Of course, if you want to cycle Alpe d'Huez, you have a lot of variables off. But then again. What period, where you are going to stay, how [...]
Tour of Flanders
Flanders. Here, everything breathes 'Koers'. You won't get any closer to cycling heaven. Local municipalities will probably still argue with each other about where the epicentre of the race actually is. For us, it's anybody's guess. Oudenaarde because of the Centre of the Ronde. Geraardsbergen, because of the Muur, or Roeselare because of the race museum. It makes us [...]
Enjoy: cycling in the Harz National Park
Cycling in Germany is popular. In our eastern neighbours, you will find many different places where you can go cycling. Not only just across the border in the Eifel or the Teutoburger Forest, for example. Even deeper into Germany you will find wonderful cycling destinations such as Saxon Switzerland or the Black Forest. One of the places you will find on this [...]
Puglia: the pearl of southern Italy
I love Italy. Point. The beauty of the country, the people, the food. I think I really fell in love about 25 years ago. That's when I heard the language, was in Bolzano and Merano for the first time. From then on, Italy has been high on my cycling holiday hit list. The fact that I now also speak Italian [...]
Cycling in Scotland: Highlands and more
For those who want something different on a cycling holiday, the whole of the British Isles comes highly recommended. We previously wrote about the Peak District which is a stunning location. In Yorkshire, too, you can set off brilliantly with all kinds of great routes into the adjacent National Park. Not to mention Snowdonia in Wales. [...]
Cycling in Emilia-Romagna: In the footsteps of Pantani
Rimini, Riccione, Cattolica. A three unit mostly synonymous with beach holidays. Sun, sea, booze. At least, that's how I've always remembered it. Not for nothing did I set off for a two-week summer holiday to this Bermuda triangle for young people when I was 18. I had heard of Cesenatico. What's more, the village with this name was [...]
Cycling in Innsbruck - City among the mountains
After the 2018 World Cycling Championships, Innsbruck suddenly topped many lists for a cycling holiday. After all, who didn't get excited by the beautiful surroundings? Highway to Höll was suddenly on the 'bucket lists' of awesome climbs you had to have done. Also on Zwift, Innsbruck was suddenly rideable and that did [...]
