Boat & Bike on Main river

Boasting UNESCO world heritage sites, local micro-breweries, steep vineyards producing famous wines and hearty food, this region caters to all tastes. Furthermore, the cycle paths here are well built and maintained and mostly flat - so riding your bike here is very pleasurable, and can be wholeheartedly recommended to both novice and expert cyclists.
