Join AllTrails on our legendary annual European Expedition in 2025
Germany’s Romantic Road loves to pomp about as the Bavarian headline stealer, but the real stars on this extraordinary European adventure are the star-studded support cast: fairytale villages, heritage listed buildings, shimmering lakes, rolling vineyards and the irrepressible Neuschwanstein ‘Disney’ Castle to name just a few. Picture yourself cycling through the lush dense greenery of the Black Forest, winding alongside the Rhine River, swimming in Lake Constance, and enjoying a cold Bavarian Bier or Mosel after a pleasant ride on a summer’s day…this is the perfect tour to get a real taste of so much that we love about Europe, all condensed into one beautiful region.
And all of this with that renowned AllTrails camaraderie and the confidence that comes with booking with an Australian-based tour company.
