The Christmas season, with all its cosiness and sweet temptations, confines your bike to a season in the shadows all too often. Mulled wine or sports drink? This Collection combines both: Take yourself out on a short, chilly Tour and treat yourself to a sweet reward at some of Germany's most popular Christmas markets.
These Tours are not too long and not too short, taking between two to four hours to complete on average. While you’re on them, you can choose between ploughing along nearby cycle paths, gravel roads or singletracks—surfaces that make these routes especially suitable for cross or gravel bikes—and you and your bike will truly be spoilt for choice: Seven great Tours and seven extraordinary markets in Cologne, Dortmund, Berlin, Dresden, Hamburg, Stuttgart and Munich are waiting for you.
If you still don't succeed in mobilising your training partners, you can simply meet them afterwards at the Christmas market: they are all easily accessible by train. That way, nobody needs to miss out on the delicious mulled wine. Only one thing you should bear in mind: The Tours are going to be wet and muddy. So that you can get a little cosier after you’re done, bring a change of clothes.
In this sense: happy Cross-Mas!

Hamburg and Radcross? But something of: In Hamburg, there is even a permanent cross-training track. And exactly this route is the first milestone of this not so short Hamburg-Gravel-Tour. The second goal is the eco-Christmas market in the Museum der Arbeit, but more on that later.
It starts at the Hamburg…

On this high-contrast tour, you will rediscover the Saxon capital. From the bustle of the city, you can quickly move away and enjoy a few meters along the Elbe, before heading straight for the Dresdner Heide, the huge recreational area on the northern outskirts of the city and perfect for a short, crisp…

This tour takes you straight out of the bustling center of the Bavarian capital: you start at the station and steer partly on a discarded tram route on the Isar shore. When crossing, you can briefly enjoy a great view before you reach the Perlacher Forst.
Here, the route initially leads along a quiet…
