I'm off to Germany tomorrow, not cycling this time but lace-making (see website in sig). I go to a
town named Bad Laer in the Teutoberger Wald, which is in the Osnabrueck/Muenster area. It's often
struck me that it would be a good place for a cycling holiday, lots of gentle wooded hills. The
tracks through the woods near Bad Laer are very definitely walkers only, no cyclists.
However, the delights of a multi-centre holiday where someone else moves the luggage by van always
win out. So this year we are for the 4th time signed up for cycling with Bike Bavaria, although this
year we are going to Austria.
http://www.bentstours.com/ Bavaria is full of alps, but there are
lovely flat valleys with lakes in, then usually a short sharp up and over into the next valley. Also
had a good holiday last year around the Franken wine area, the river Main and the Romantische
Strasse - Rothenburg and Dinkelsbuehl.
Look up the public holiday dates for the German state(s) you intend to travel too, as there are both
local and national ones. If you avoid the public holidays, then tourist areas in Germany always have
plenty of vacancies in well kept and cheap guest houses, so no need to book in advance.
