Join me on a 1,225.9 km bike trip through Germany, Czechia and Austria, crossing the Alps into Italy.
11 days of cycling, plus a rest day in two of Europe’s most spectacular towns: Český Krumlov and Salzburg. Passing historic gems such as Bamberg and Regensburg, before reaching the grand finale: Verona.
