bike tour to Arnheim

But that's not all: In June, eleven members of the cyclist club "Solidarity 1895 Gera" broke up for an impressive bike tour to Arnheim, the Dutch partner city. Under the motto "By bike, with the bike, it goes out", the cyclists covered about 800 kilometers in ten stages. The route led through picturesque cities such as Erfurt, Creuzburg, Bad Sooden, Bad Karlshafen, Hameln, Bad Salzuflen, Warendorf, Münster and Vreden, and what was particularly gratifying: the tour went accident -free and without technical breakdowns. The participants were enthusiastic about the bicycle friendliness in Arnheim and were warmly welcomed there.

The return trip took place relaxed by train via Mannheim and Erfurt. There was also a productive contact to the Reto-Verein Arnheim bike club, where an invitation was made to Gera. Meanwhile, the Arnheim-Wagen region invites you to further bike tours along the so-called Liberation Route , which addresses the history of the Second World War. The route comprises about 50 kilometers and offers interesting nodes and audio stations on the edge of the path that inform about the history of the Operation Market Garden

The cycling routes in the area are not only educational, but also scenic and invite you to further discovery tours. The invitation to cycling friends to combine the story with sporting activity is a real profit for the region.

whether lectures, concerts or bike tours - in Gera there is something for everyone this week. The question now remains: What do you plan for the next few days?
