Carbon Neutral Trip
Germany is far more than bratwurst, biergartens and fairytale castles (but we know where to find the best of all three, if you're curious). Cycle riverside trails through half-timbered towns, hike alpine paths, and dig into history both ancient and modern. From Berlin’s cutting edge to Bavaria’s old-world charm, this is a country of remarkable contrasts.
The inconspicuous borders of the EU make it easy to ride into nine neighbouring countries, putting you at the nexus of northern European culture.
Our passionate team of local storytellers bring some of the most important historical milestones of the last millennium to life, from King Ludwig II to Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate.
Stay at some of Europe’s most luxurious hotels, explore the Alps just outside your door and enjoy five-star service that welcomes you back at the end of each day.
