Cycling

Many accommodation and catering establishments in the region offer e-bike charging stations. There is also a network of public charging stations along the most popular cycle paths or in the villages. This also applies to most of the Bike & Hike exchange stations in the national park holiday region.

Don't forget to bring your own charging cable!
