“Had a great time and the countryside was so beautiful. Highly recommend to any biking/outdoors enthusiast or even casual bikers. Very easy predominantly flat bike path. Near the castle we also did the optional off road which has the best view of the castle. More technical on this path - short downhill single track with sections off piste. Martin, our guide, was great. Brand new high quality e-bikes. I’m petite (5’ 1”) and my bike was slightly too big Martin says he has other shorter bikes coming soon.”

Our entire group was up to the task, and very relaxed which made the trip even better. It's not a 40km race to the Castle, but rather a nice pace that average riders can enjoy. All the staff…”
