In this Collection, we’ve put together seven varied Tours along the regional railway routes in Thuringia, Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt. The start and end points of the rides are all located at a railway station, so you can arrive and depart comfortably by train. To take your bike with you, it's best to buy a day ticket for local transport. Please check beforehand whether the route you want to take will be very busy or not, so that there is enough room for your bike on the train. You can also use the DB Ausflug app for this; it offers great bike features such as repair shops and bike rental companies so you can even set off without your own bike. For our Tours in this Collection, we have already picked out the right addresses so that you can hire your bike locally – always near the station. You can find information on many rental companies here: bahn.de/service/individuelle-reise/bahn_und_fahrrad/rad-nahverkehr or on callabike.de.
