Watch: Germany by Bike and Barge

Why do travellers love exploring Germany on a bike and barge holiday?

It's easy to see why: waking up to a different waterfront view every morning, having to unpack just once, soaking up the beautiful riverside scenery and experiencing delicious German food and local culture as you pedal along dedicated cycleways and quiet roads.

You'll get to experience the beauty of Germany's rivers at handlebar level as you cycle through picturesque scenery past ancient castles and monasteries. Discover medieval castles, Roman ruins and vineyards in grand cities such as Mainz, Cologne, Passau and Berlin as you explore Germany by bike and barge.
 
See it all by watching our short video on a bike and barge tour in Germany.
