Why 4 days? A 4-day bike trip is designed to be a short, accessible, and affordable adventure through relatively flat regions, making it ideal for travelers of all ages and fitness levels, including retirees. Each day covers a manageable distance of under 50 km, allowing plenty of time to explore charming towns, enjoy scenic landscapes, and relax along the way. The trip is budget-friendly, with a range of affordable accommodation and meal options available. To make it even more convenient, travelers can easily return to their starting point by train or ferry, adding flexibility to the itinerary while minimizing travel time and effort at the end of the journey.
Why under 50 kilometers? Cycling under 50 km (30 miles) per day strikes the perfect balance between adventure and leisure, allowing enough time to explore charming towns, enjoy local cuisine, and take in the scenery without feeling rushed or overly fatigued. It's a manageable distance for most riders, even beginners, on relatively flat terrain, making it ideal for a memorable and sustainable journey.
