The days are getting longer again, tree branches are showing their first flashes of green and you can ride your bike again without gloves and a winter jacket – now is the time to go exploring! To help you start right away, we’ve put together a Collection of eight extensive day Tours for you from the Leipzig Bay to the densely wooded slopes of the Saale Valley in the Thuringian Forest. With a distance of more than 60 kilometres (37 miles) and some metres of climbing (especially in the Saale Valley), these Tours are great for an e-bike adventure. Of course, they’re also a perfect choice to put your new touring bike or gear through its paces.
There are eight routes to choose from: through the Leipzig Riverside Forest with its small rivers and canals, around the Leipziger Neuseenland lakeland, into the Ore Mountains on river cycle paths and up and down through the Saale Valley in the Thuringian Forest. The extra power of an e-bike really comes into its own in the Thuringian Forest, so you’ll manage the climbs with ease.
Are you eager to get going, but still don’t have the right bike or gear? Take a look at our Giant stores in Leipzig and Rudolstadt. Here, you can find the right two-wheeled companion, panniers and tools for your adventures.

This exit is something for tight calves - even with an electric drive.

This tour is something for swimmers: three lakes in the north of Leipzig invite you to refresh yourself. The tour itself has no particular difficulties or altitude - only the sometimes quite fresh headwind can be a bit difficult. In summer temperatures, however, it is also a relief.
