    Cycling

    Cycling on the former railway line through the hilly landscape is possible without much effort and therefore also suitable for families. Tunnels, bridges and viaducts still shape the landscape today and make cycling a special experience.

    Cycling

    The Balkan route is asphalted throughout and, like all railway routes, has only moderate gradients, only the entrances and exits can be steeper. Their entrances are not provided with such narrow crowding grids that a velomobile or trike would not fit well through, therefore also well suited for these types of bicycles.
