Cycling tours are currently very popular! For those who like to experience nature from the saddle, these cycle routes are a must. Cycling paths along rivers are very popular due to their mostly flat route profile. They are often characterised by a particularly attractive and varied route.
The paths develop their own characteristic charm.
We have put together a small collection of links of the most beautiful river bike trails in the north.
