Cycling Thread > The best of cycling tourism

Elberadweg, the Elbe Cycle Route, is Germany's favorite cycling route and one of the most popular in the country. This year it celebrates its 30th anniversary - a perfect reason to see how the queen of German cycling routes is doing, and how three decades of existence have shaped its comfort and organization.

Instead of car… [» read more]
