Decided to fulfill my dream of going on a bike tour and visiting Germany by combining the two. I flew into Frankfurt with a plan to ride to Amsterdam and fly home from there. I planned on riding the Eurovelo 15 route from Mainz to Rotterdam, then head north to Amsterdam. Ended up doing 454 miles in 9 days!
The route is well marked and excellent. Either nice bike paths or through quiet little towns, it was delightful. Besides all of the castles in Germany, I think the stretch from Arnhem to Utrecht was my favorite, riding through the forest was incredible. I camped 5 nights, got hotels for 4. I had a blast, met some great people, and had great food and beer as well. Amsterdam was lovely, I'd definitely go back again with more time to explore.
