“Since we didn't book tickets early enough, this tour was the only way to get into the castle and it was all worth it. The castle tour was fantastic and having bikes for the rest of the day was lovely. We enjoyed exploring Fussen and it's surrounding areas: such lovely town and so much beautiful nature around.”

Pick up a classic city bike at Dresden Information beside the Frauenkirche. You get a lock and Elbland cycling map, plus route tips from the English or German-speaking team. Choose a rental from 4 hours to 3 days, add a child seat or bag if needed, and return the bike independently by midnight.

“Het was een heel zonnige dag dus perfect om fietsen te huren. We mochten de fietsen van de middag tot middernacht houden wat heel vriendelijk was van de mensen. Spijtig genoeg waren we twee fietsen vergeten op ons hotel. De team heeft niet moeilijk gedaan en is ze zelf gaan halen. Met dank aan hen en ook dat we geen extra kosten ervoor hebben moeten betalen. De fietsen zijn in heel goede staat en fietsen zalig. Het was fijn om het stad te leren kennen met de fiets zo kan je meerderen activiteiten doen in een dag.”
