    Bicycle

    Bicycle incl. panniers (reservation in advance and for charge):

    We rent the following bikes in a variety of frame sizes to our guests:

    •  21-/24-speed bike with freewheel
    • 7-speed bike with backpedal brake
       

    E-bike:

    With an E-bike every bike tour is a breeze! If you had few opportunities to cycle over the last weeks, every bike ride is a treat! The shiftable, low noise electric drive of our modern electro bike relieves you of some of the work and increases the pedal force up to 3 times ... So you can now book a bike tour together with cyclists who have different fitness level. Acclivity can be handled easily.

    A note to our customers: Electric bikes are a great thing! However, due to their characteristics (high weight + high speed) they should only be booked by very experienced and safe cyclists with a good sense of balance. E-bikes are not appropriate for persons who do not ride bikes frequently.
