Delicious grape juice, idyllic wine-growing villages and refreshing lidos make this tour worth cycling.
Past swans and old, red and white striped bathhouses, through river meadows and wine cellar lanes, over bridges and rolling hills: there isa lot to experience along the wild and romantic Kamp . The Kamp Valley ("Kamptal" in German) used to be a popular summer resort area and even today you will find many a spot that invites you to take an invigorating dip.
