Cycling in Germany – from North to South

The former railroad track directly in view of the front door of the vacation home has been converted into a cycle path and now connects the towns of Oelznitz and Falkenstein (20 km).

The former hometown of componist Johann Sebastian Bach in the heart of Thuringia is part of the Gera Cycle Path (total length: 75 km) and connected to the Ilmtal Cycle Path (total length: 125 km). It is possible to get to the hotel by train.

Gehlberg, the highest mountain village in the Thuringian Forest, is a good starting point for the Gera cycle path (75km), the Rennsteig cycle path (195km) or the Ilmtal cycle path (125km).

The landlords lend e-mountain bikes, and vacation guests receive a discount. The small historic town of Betzenstein in the middle of the Franconian Switzerland Nature Park is a good starting point for tours through the mountain landscape as well as one of the most important castle landscapes in Central Europe.

The wild and rugged landscape of the Bode Valley is not only one of the most beautiful hiking areas in Germany, but also very popular with mountain bikers. Directly on site there is the Bikepark Bodetal, the only official bike park in Saxony-Anhalt. Various enduro and downhill trails offer different levels of difficulty.

Directly behind the Elbe dike and right on the Elbe bike path is the former rectory in the small village of Mödlich. Guests can also rent bikes here.

300 meters from the vacation home begins the Bodensee circular bike path, one of the most popular bike routes in Europe (total distance: 260 km).

The quartier in Garmisch-Partenkirchen offers an extensive sports and exercise program – with a personal trainer on request, including mountain bike or e-bike tours.
