You could spend a lifetime exploring the twisting streets of Prague and Berlin. But then you’d miss the countryside. The winding bike paths through ancient pine forests. The opulent Prussian palaces and quaint Czech villages. The vineyards and delicious country food. The smiling locals, picturesque town centers and lively beer halls. Two or three lifetimes might do it—but a week is a good place to start.

Activity Level: 1-3

Our Dolce Tempo e-biking activities allow you to leisurely explore local hidden gems and to get away from the crowds, experiencing the essence of your location on your own terms and at your own pace. Easier than our other trips, but still wonderfully active, route options typically include 2-4 hours of e-biking per day. Our custom electric-assist bikes allow you to pedal effortlessly. Your trip is fully supported with dedicated Trip Leaders, vans, meticulously selected routes and downloadable GPS files available for use on your own device.

Route notes

Most of the riding is on bike paths, the equivalent of scenic byways, linking quaint villages and big cities alike. These wonderful bike paths are refreshingly car-free, which means that there are stretches of limited van support (you'll still be supported by leaders on bikes!). Although most of the paths are smooth and paved, there are some sections of interlocking bricks, gravel, cobblestone and hard-packed dirt that can be muddy if there’s lots of rain.

Navigating Bike Paths

Germans are not only known for their passion for beer, but also for bikes. And that love of bikes has created an amazing labyrinth of bike paths and routes that extend throughout the country. Many of the paths we utilize on this trip are the equivalent of scenic byways, linking quaint villages and big cities alike. While we are on bike paths in larger cities, be prepared for the occasional rush of local riders as they commute and run errands. These wonderful bike paths are refreshingly car-free, which means that there are stretches of limited van support, although you'll still be supported by leaders on bikes. Although most of the paths are smooth and paved, there are some sections of interlocking bricks, gravel, cobblestone and hard-packed dirt that can be muddy during downpours.

Air-Conditioning & Wi-fi

Hotel Zur Bleiche Resort & Spa is a Premiere Hotel housed in a beautiful historic building. While it offers outstanding service and amenities including a fabulous spa, libraries and restaurants, please note that it is not equipped with wi-fi or air-conditioning. Despite the region's generally temperate climate and cool nights, guestrooms can occasionally become warm during peak temperatures. We’re confident that you’ll find these quirks worthwhile for the delight of unplugging at this unique and enchanting property.
