From the shores of Lake Constance to Strasbourg’s canals, cycle past sunlit vineyards, riverside castles, and the thunderous Rhine Falls, with the Alps standing watch. The route winds through Swiss elegance, Black Forest foothills, and Alsace’s romantic riverbanks.
As you cycle alongside the Rhine River, a rich cultural tapestry unfolds. The journey begins in Constance, where medieval streets lead to a lively harbor and half-timbered squares. The river carries you past vineyard-cloaked hills and fairy-tale towns before reaching Europe’s most powerful waterfall.
In Basel, Swiss precision meets artistic vibrancy, with historic bridges linking grand merchant houses and avant-garde museums. Further north, Freiburg’s Gothic spires rise above sun-drenched vineyards, while Alsace’s storybook towns whisper tales of empires and artisans.
From lakeside serenity, where Napoleon once gazed over the Rhine, to ancient trade routes guarded by medieval watchtowers, every turn reveals history shaped by shifting borders, merchant legacies, and cultural exchange.
This journey covers an average of 55 km of daily cycling and 250 m of elevation gain. It follows cycling paths and quiet country roads, mostly along the Rhine’s gentle banks, with occasional rolling ascents through vineyard-covered hills.
Your holiday includes GPS tracks, a detailed digital itinerary, and full support, ensuring a seamless journey. Luggage transfers allow you to ride light, while carefully chosen accommodations provide comfort at the end of each day.

We recently completed the cycling tour from Bled to Piran with Slovenia Cycling Holidays. All the organising and running of the tour was excellent. We had excellent communication with Anna during the planning and also excellent and very helpful advice during the trip from Timotej We were unlucky on the final day to strike severe thunderstorms which made the day very difficult and less enjoyable. The weather stopped us enjoying the wonderful scenery into Piran. Timotej offered to transport us, but we wished to complete the ride. We can wholeheartedly recommend this Company if you wish a good cycling adventure with very good accommodation along the way. Thanks Anja and Timothy


So last minute holiday and the team at Slovenia Cycling managed to turn around a bespoke package really quickly in peak tourist season! The cycle routes are great and easy to follow whilst the trip app has all the details on hotels and transfers whilst the things to see and places to eat was invaluable. Team are super responsive when you have questions which are handled quickly on Whats App. Will definitely use them again.


We booked a week long cycling trip through Timotej’s business. It was a self guided trip where Slovenia Cycling Holidays booked our hotels, arranged transfer of luggage between hotels, organized rented bicycles, and provided us recommended cycling routes. They provided us with a very well organized itinerary with information about the places we visited and recommendations for restaurants, etc. We had a few hiccups, but overall it was a great experience! Timotej was quick to respond to any questions or issues we encountered. This was a great way to discover Slovenia by bicycle. I highly recommend using them!
