There is a lot to discover!
New regions, new routes and cycle paths, experiences from a different perspective. In the coming year, Velociped will once again be offering many cycle tours that will surprise you.
Pure Rhine
Bonn radial tour
A radial tour along the Rhine, that's great! You don't cycle along the river as a long-distance tour, but always return to your starting point and don't have to pack every day. The Rhine radial tour takes you from the beautiful Beethoven city of Bonn to Bonn's sights such as the Beethoven House, the cathedral and Godesburg Castle, to Siegburg with its abbey on Michaelsberg, to the cathedral city of Cologne, where you are sure to marvel at the landmark Cologne Cathedral and the Rhine boulevard, and to the Siebengebirge. You will even take a boat trip on the Rhine and for once you won't have to pedal while vineyards, Rhine banks and castles pass you by. Toast with a glass of Rhine wine!
Round trip from Cologne
Also brand new is a round trip on the Rhine from/to Cologne. Take a photo in front of Cologne Cathedral at the beginning and at the end as proof! In between, you can expect plenty of nature, forests and meadows, ponds and canals, floodplain landscapes and local recreation areas that have emerged from the former open-cast lignite mining. Cycle along the Erft, a tributary of the Rhine, on a beautiful cycle path and discover castles, monasteries and palaces. Visit Pfaffendorf Castle with its brasserie in Bergheim and take a leisurely stroll through the historic city centre of Düsseldorf. Top it off with an Altbier! In the former federal capital of Bonn, Palais Schaumburg and the Chancellor's Bungalow are well worth a visit. - All in all: a real surprise tour with lots of nature that you might not have expected here and plenty of culture!
Bike & Boat 2025
New tours in Scotland & the Netherlands
What a scoop! With the ‘Flying Dutchman’ and your bike, you will travel from Oban to the Isle of Mull, the Isle of Jura and the Highlands to small highland lochs. Watch dolphins, seals and otters from the boat, red deer on land and majestic eagles in the skies. And of course, in addition to the wild nature, enjoy evenings in the pub with Scottish music and real Scottish whisky. Slàinte mhath! Here's to good health!
The North Route Holland with the MS Rigoletto takes a new route from Enkhuizen via Hoorn, Lemmer, Harlingen, the island of Texel and Den Helder. Dunes, beach and sea, canals, cheese and dykes guaranteed.
In the Netherlands, you can also travel on the MS de Holland from Amsterdam to Bruges through the flatlands, and on the Northern Route Holland with the MS Arkona from Amsterdam to the Edam cheese market and the island of Texel or to Utrecht, Delft and Rotterdam.
Our new tours on the Danube
From the three-river city of Passau to beautiful Vienna and back to Passau on the 4-star superior ship MS Swiss Crown. Also with the luxurious MS Swiss Crown from Passau to Budapest with its palaces and baths and back. The MS Vivienne travels the same route.
Radial tours
In response to many requests, we have added new routes to our programme that eliminate the hassle of packing, as you always start from the same point:
In South Tyrol, there is a star bike tour from the beautiful city of Bolzano with its pretty arcades and house facades decorated with bay windows and paintings, Gothic and Rococo elements. Every afternoon/evening you return to the South Tyrolean capital and get to know the city and its special features very well. Meran, Kalterer See, Trient, Brixen and the Ritten are your interesting destinations during the cycling week.
Even the Alpe-Adria cycle path is now available as a cycle tour with a location factor: from Villach we take you in all directions to Lake Faak, Spittal, Lake Wörth and Klagenfurt, to name just a few of the destinations. What a pleasure! In the truest sense of the word, because Carinthia is also an exquisite culinary region.
Newcomer on the distance tours
From Bled in the Triglav National Park to the mysterious lagoon city of Venice, from Slovenia to Italy, the 2025 cycle route takes you along a railway cycle path to Tarvisio, then on to Venzone, Udine, Palmanova with its star-shaped piazza, to the seaside resort of Caorle with its fine sandy beach and finally by boat from Punta Sabbioni to Venice. A great mix!
