Germany Bicycling Maps and Guides


ADFC Cycling Maps



Germany Bicycle Touring Route Maps. 1:150,000. Allgemeiner Deutscher Fahrrad-Club. These are the official maps of the Allgemeinen Deutschen Fahrrad-Club e.V., the Germany cycling federation. The maps have contours at different intervals depending on the terrain, with steep roads also indicated by gradient marking. An overprint highlights national and local cycling routes and indicates various facilities, such as railway stations with bike rentals, cycle repair shops, campsites, youth hostels and shelters. Each map covers approximately 156 x 138 km (97 x 86 miles). This series is in the process of being updated - all titles are expected to be fully revised by mid-2007. The new editions are better cartography that is easier to read and a UTM grid has been added. Unfortunately the maps/legends are still in German only. Each new edition map comes with a booklet of cycling/tourist information and Bett & Bike accommodation suggestions.

The present book describes the German-German Border Trail in the "Green Belt", which approaches 150 natural parks, 150 flora-and-fauna areas, three biosphere reservations Schaalsee, Elbaue and the Rhoen and the National Park of the Harz Mountains. It takes one from the Baltic to the Czech border, passes countless rivers, streams, and lakes and takes us through the higher parts of the Harz mountains and through the forests of Thuringia. We pass many monuments and border land museums and also several of the remaining observation towers. Of course there are many alternatives to taking this path. One can remain on the western or on the eastern side, one can stay close to the border or bike some distance from it, one can take the former control road with its perforated roadway or one can choose asphalt. The route in this book stays as close as possible to the former border, but stays on as comfortable a path as possible, avoids heavily travelled roads, integrates many historical monuments, crosses the former border at several points and informs about many monuments and museums.

Cycling the Rhine Route guide
Cycling the Rhine Route. Cycle Publishing.

  • 288 pages with 80 maps and 40 black & white photographs, paperback, 5½ x 8½ inches.
  • A spectacular tour from the sea to the mountains
  • Travel along many minor roads and paths away from traffic
  • Experience the cultural and historic diversity of much of Western Europe
  • Visit ports, castles, museums, ancient cities, and nature parks
  • Introductory chapters dealing with all relevant general information
  • For over 1,200 years, the Rhine river has been Europe's main corridor of transport, linking markets and cultures from the sea border in Holland with the inland regions all the way to Switzerland. Today's bicycle tourist can experience the great diversity of geography, architecture, trade, and culture that is still apparent along this spectacularly scenic waterway.
  • Best of all, it's not an exhausting ride: Despite the sometimes formidable mountains that look over the river, author John Powell has mapped out a route that keeps mainly level. The trip can be traversed all the way, requiring about three weeks of cycling, with all levels of accommodation readily available, or cut up into sections, with convenient points of access identified.
