Cycling through Germany: your route to a breathtaking cycling holiday
Cycling in Germany is certainly not the first thing that comes to mind for the younger generation of cyclists and gravel bikers. Many times there is an association with e-bikes, trips along the Rhine, 'genussradfahren' and more. Yet a Cycling Holiday in Germany is increasingly popular these days. Not only because of the beautiful gravel routes and cool cycling routes you can find there. Also [...]
Le Vie del Bike: Umbria
Earlier, we reported on the Italian Tourism Ministry's new project, ENIT. It wants to encourage cycling holidays, of any kind, and they have done so in the most epic way you can think of. Le Vie del Bike (the bike lanes) route. A total of 5300 kilometres of roads for cycling in Italy. Then [...]
Vingegaards' Favorites: on the road with Tour winner Jonas in Nordjylland
The 2022 Tour de France was on Denmark and Danish ace Jonas Vingegaard's mind. With the Grand Départ in Denmark and the 25-year-old Dane's eventual win in Paris, the 2022 Tour was a truly Danish tour. In an interview with the first Danish Tour winner, he gives a nice [...]
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 [...]
Cycling in Andorra: training hotspot for pros and amateurs
Cycling in Andorra, in the middle of the Pyrenees. Who wouldn't want that. Stunning views, classic, rugged climbs. The Pyrenees are famous for the Tour and Vuelta, infamous for its irregular climbs and loved by the pros for its ability to sleep at altitude and train well. Andorra also emphatically positions itself as an ideal location [...]
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 [...]
