Gravel tours: Two books with tours for gravel bikes around Munich and on the Lower Rhine

The tour books Niederrhein mit dem Gravelbike and München und Umgebung mit dem Gravelbike were published on 20 March 2024 and invite you on 20 and 22 discovery tours through the respective region.

On the first pages of both books there is an overview table of all the tours presented. This is a practical way to get an overview and quickly decide which tour to take next. This overview is followed by explanations of the book and the topics of nature conservation, sustainability, the bike and more. Then it's off to the tours. The authors know the respective regions inside out. In addition to tour descriptions, the books also contain interesting facts and tips. And of course you don't have to use the maps in the book as a guide - GPX files for your navigation device can be easily downloaded after purchasing the book.

Munich and the surrounding area by gravel bike

The authors Jessica Holst and Yvonne Streit show tours around Munich - and by that they really mean around Munich. Their routes don't just head south, but in all directions. Jessica Holst is an established member of the Munich gravel community. She leads group rides and is always on the lookout for new routes. After a long day at her desk, she likes to relax on a leisurely bike ride. Yvonne Streit also enjoys spending her free time on her bike. She explores the immediate surroundings of Munich on her gravel bike. Occasionally, the author also undertakes multi-day bikepacking tours a little further away from the city.

Lower Rhine by gravel bike

Lothar Schmidt and Johannes Pöttgens have teamed up to collect 22 gravel tours on the Lower Rhine, write about them and capture the tours in photos. The book with the tours was published on 20 March 2024.

Journalist and travel book author Lothar Schmidt actually specialises in Spain. With the book Niederrhein mit dem Gravelbike, he wants to show that it is also beautiful right on the doorstep in North Rhine-Westphalia and that gravel tours there are at least as worthwhile. Johannes Pöttgens is a freelance photographer in Düsseldorf. He has been on his bike since childhood and is always on the lookout for new and beautiful gravel routes between the Rhine and the Meuse.
