Holland, Belgium, Paris
Our group will gather in Amsterdam and spend the first night in the ancient Dutch city of Haarlem before picking up the well-traveled Nordzeeroute bike route. This protected, coastal path winds its way along the coast of the North Sea for nearly 300 miles, past windmills and over banks. We’ll make our way through charming Dutch and Belgian towns and cross the border into France. Once in France, we’ll ride quiet country roads through small villages, enjoying the many delights of rural French life along our way. We’ll continue south to Chantilly and take a train in to spend a day in the City of Light.
Rural France, Germany’s Black Forest & the Bodensee
From Paris, we continue east through the vineyard(葡萄园) covered hills of the Champagne region, into the green valleys of Alsace-Lorraine, and then on to Strasbourg, right on France’s border with Germany. We’ll cross the Rhine River and follow Germany’s outstanding network of bike paths through the charming Black Forest to the shores of Lake Constance, also known in Germany as the Bodensee. We’ll look across this famous lake to the snow-covered peaks of the Alps—the next leg of our journey together.
The Alps, Northern Italy Venice
Leaving the Bodensee, we’ll start our climb into and through the Austrian Alps. Shortly after skirting the Swiss border, we’ll cross into Bella Italia and begin our downhill descent(斜坡) toward the warm waters of the Adriatic Sea. Upon arrival, we’ll put our bikes away and spend our final days together celebrating our great cycling skills while exploring Venice, one of the world’s most beautiful and mysterious cities.
