10Seen Tour
Die 9tägige 10 Seen Tour bietet wunderbare Landschaften. Wir hatten leider kein besonderes Wetterglück - aber das Radeln mit e-Bike in dieser Gegend ist wirklich schön. Die beiden letzten Tage bei herrlichem Sonnenschein waren dann ein Highlight. Die Unterstützung von Eurobike beim Transport der Räder am Regentag hat sehr gut funktioniert - auch der tägliche Koffertransport funktionierte super. Hotels haben alle sehr gut gepasst. Ich kann diese Tour jederzeit empfehlen!
