We call this beautiful tour the “Best of Europe”, because it introduces you to everything you would expect to see in Europe. Timber-framed houses, imposing castles, narrow roads through dense forests, ancient towns and villages, cuckoo clocks and waitresses in traditional outfits, cows with bells around their necks and much more.
We start in Munich and head North surrounded by lush green countryside to Rothenburg – Germany’s best preserved medieval town. Later, Heidelberg will impress us with its world’s longest pedestrian street and a very lively night life.
On our rest day we will go to France – the Alsace region. You can spend the day wandering around on the cobblestone streets of our overnight town or join us for an amazing ride on roads which were obviously created by riders, for riders.
Through the Black Forest we head to Switzerland. With the snow-covered peaks of the Alps as a backdrop we cruise across this beautiful country until we reach Austria. This is where narrow roads and numerous switchbacks show you how much fun it is to ride the Alps!
