Overview

About this collection

Ride the Germany section of EuroVelo 3, the Pilgrim’s Route. Expect a mostly paved tour with long stretches on quiet roads and bike paths, plus some farm tracks. There are a few short busy-road links and the odd flight of steps, but they’re rare.

Surfaces are mainly asphalt and concrete, with patches of gravel, paving stones, and occasional cobbles or sand. A touring or gravel bike is ideal; wider tires make the mixed bits comfy. The profile is generally gentle with some rolling climbs. Signage can vary by region, so a GPS track from OSM is handy. Take it stage by stage and enjoy the ride across Germany.
