What else is there to tell?

In my free time …

… I enjoy being out and about in nature – alone, as a couple or with family and friends. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a hike in the mountains, a bike ride along the river or a walk across meadows and fields: I just love to enjoy the beauty of nature with all its facets.

My favourite things to read …

… interesting travel guides that awaken my spirit of discovery and exciting fantasy novels that take me to other worlds.

My perfect day …

… begins with a leisurely breakfast outdoors and plenty of time. Then the hiking backpack is packed and off we go into the mountains. The highlights are wonderful views views along the route and a long break in a rustic mountain hut. If the tour is then crowned with a great sunset and the evening ends around a campfire, the day is perfect all round.

Travelling and other countries …

… are the best way for me to be free! For me travelling means leaving and coming home at the same time. Exploring the world – on my doorstep, around the corner or far away – is something that inspires me, makes me feel alive and I just can’t get enough of it.

My favourite travel destinations …

… are (almost) everywhere where there are mountains. Because mountains mean home to me. A tour through the wild mountain scenery inland on the island of Grand Canaria, the view of Cape Town from Table Mountain or a hike around Mount Matterhorn in Switzerland are among the holiday experiences that I will never forget. But it doesn’t always have to be mountains. A day at Disneyland Paris lights up my eyes just as much.

My most recent trips …

… were a road trip with a campervan through Luxembourg, a motorcycle tour through the most beautiful landscapes of the Eifel, a hiking holiday in the beautiful Allgäu Alps around Obersdorf and a cycling and hiking holiday on the river Moselle – for me one of the loveliest regions in Germany.

Happiness and contentment for me means …

… to perceive the many small wonders of life: a romantic sunset, an unforgettable view from the mountain peak, the rustling of treetops in the wind, the warm rays of the sun that tickle your skin while cycling, the crackling of wood at the campfire.

Writing for me means …

… a passion that has accompanied me my whole life and a wonderful way for me to express emotions.

City tours by bike
A cycling holiday is not the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of taking a city tour. But the two actually go together wonderfully. Many famous metropolises in Europe are now very bike friendly and offer great cycling infrastructure, so you can see the sights by bike. We show you our most beautiful cycle tours with a city experience, which are a true paradise, especially for culture lovers. Between the individual stage towns, which take you from cultural mecca to cultural mecca, from trendy capital city to trendy capital city or from one idyllic residential town to the next, you cycle through magnificent landscapes that contrast wonderfully with the lively city flair. Perhaps your favourite city is among them?

Spring awakening in Majorca
Muchos saludos from Majorca! Where better to start the cycling season than on the beautiful Balearic island of Majorca? There spring awakens earlier than here and entices with warm rays of sunshine, colourful nature and stupendous sea views – ideal for all who wish to shorten the winter. Treat yourself to an active break and rediscover the popular Mediterranean island by bike. That way you also totally incidentally escape our familiar winter by bike. Our tip for spontaneous people: Experience Majorca around the time of the almond blossoms! From mid February to mid March the island transforms into a delicately scented sea of blossoms. Simply indescribably stunning!

This was our Anniversary Year 2022
Shortly before the turn of the year, we look back happily and in gratitude onto the past twelve months. 2022 was a very special year for us since we celebrated 30 years of Eurobike. Has it really been 30 years since the Eurobike foundation stone was laid? Crazy how time flies! And what has happened in three decades! A very special team and the enjoyment of our guests in what is probably the most amazing form of holidays – cycling – have made Eurobike what it is today. In 30 years of Eurobike we were able to experience many unique moments and get to know special people as well as valuable guests and partners. We have dedicated our anniversary year to these people, moments and milestones, remembered, thanked, celebrated together and braced ourselves for the next 30 years. Anniversary logo, anniversary campaign, anniversary film, anniversary festivities: all of this and much more has shaped our past 365 days. Let us review the Eurobike anniversary year and “experience“ all our anniversary activities of 2022 in a quick pass-through here in this blog.

Salzburg is always worth a visit. Nestled between Mount Untersberg and Mount Gaisberg and with a view of the majestic backdrop of the Alps, Salzburg attracts with world-famous sights in every season. But when the city dresses up for the festival season, the entire world looks to Salzburg. Since during the six festival weeks in July and August (20th July – 31st August 2023), everything revolves around outstanding culture, which is second to none. And all this since 1920. The Salzburg Festival is the world’s most important festival of classical music and performing arts.

The most beautiful cycle holidays around the grape harvest
When the vines bear an abundance of grapes, the leaves take on marvellouse colours and the glistening rays of the sun bathe the landscape in a golden, velvety light, the most delightful season of the year begins in Europe’s wine regions. Autumn is the high season for cycle holidays once more. Since what better way to discover the colourful sceneries and precious wines than by cycling. Now it is the turn for romantics and connoisseurs, because next to the cycle route, small taverns, wineries and cosy wine villages invite you to take a break and taste the delicacies of the region.  Cycle holidays around the time of the grape harvest in autumn are like a special fesival of the pleasures of life. In this blog post, we tell you in which wine regions the ‚Indian Summer‘ shows itself from its most colourful side and where cyclists and wine lovers alike get their money’s worth.

Summer thunderstorms on the horizon?
Imagine the following scenario: You meticulously plan a cycling tour from start to finish. Everything seems perfect – anticipation goes through the roof. And then out of the blue an unwelcome surprise. The storm god completely thwarts your plans! Although you can plan many things, you cannot influence the weather. In order for you to not be surprised by a downpour, the Eurobike-cycling team explain to you, how to correctly ‘read’ the weather. First of all, however, we will explain what you have to consider if you get caught in a thunderstorm despite good planning.

Experiences along the Inn & Adige: By bike from Innsbruck to Bolzano
At the end of May – between Ascension Day and Pentecost – my friend Klaus and I finally start our very first cycling adventure through the mountain world. As a mountain enthusiast it quickly became clear to me: it needs to be a cycle tour through the Alps. Varied with not quite as many ascents, since after all we want to attempt the tour without e-bikes and I wanted to experience as many facets of my beloved Alps as possible. The cycle tour from Innsbruck to Bolzano not only met all expectations, but by far exceeded them. It offered impressions which you can only get to know, if you are actively out and about in the landscape powered by your own force and energy. Impressions that really cannot be put into words. I will try anyway – in this very travelogue reporting back to you about my most varied holiday I have ever had so far.

Cycling in the heat
Temperatures above 30 degrees can really take it out of you when cycling. The body not only has to generate the energy to reach the Day Finish, but is also busy regulating body temperature. In order for you to keep a cool head during your cycling tour in high heat and to really enjoy cycling we have compiled a few helpful tips for you:

Sweden is so beautiful
“I see the world the way I want to!” said Sweden’s most famous literary figure. We also like the little Swedish world, the backdrop to many magical stories!

The country, which is known for its vast landscape, simple cuisine, heart-warmingly friendly people, special houses and a very special charm that will enchant you.

The myth of cycling in Holland
No other country in the world is so closely associated with cycling as the beautiful Netherlands. But we are talking less of cycling as a sport and more as a means of transport. Or is it just us? We wanted to get to the bottom of this myth. How did it come about that the bike became the most important companion in local transport and why are our cycle tours in Holland some of the most popular in the Eurobike range? Is the thought of cheese-eating children with tulips in their hair pedaling through the streets of Amsterdam on old bikes a cliché or a reality? Find out with us!

Eurobike guests on the Ten Lakes Tour in the 90s
Ten lakes and one tour
"What could be more beautiful than cycling along the shore paths of the lakes and letting your mind wander in a magnificent natural landscape?" That's how the first lines about the Ten Lakes Tour read in the Eurobike catalogue in the 90s. It was the first Eurobike tour - and it is just as up-to-date and popular today as it was back then. Because on the Ten Lakes Tour between the Salzkammergut and Salzburg Lake District you cycle through Austria's most beautiful picture-book scenery. Mondsee, Traunsee, Wolfgangsee and many more: every day you can cool off in a different lake, stroll along picturesque lakeside promenades and discover many highlights such as Empress Sisi's famous tea house, the Dachstein ice caves and the salt mine in Hallstatt. But how did this very first Eurobike bike tour actually come about? How has it changed over 30 years? And what is the special charm of the Ten Lakes Tour? We'll tell you now!
