THE BIKE GUIDE : Yes or No ?

* The bike guide is responsible for leading and managing the group throughout the different stages of the Bike Tour. He/she speaks several languages, including English.

* He/she is your first interlocutor for all subjects related to cycling (itinerary monitoring, small repairs,...).

* He/she carries the first aid kit and, if necessary, activates external services (insurance, mechanical repair, rescue,...).

* Always with the group, he/she regulates cadence so that everyone arrives at the end of the stage. But each one is free to ride with the group or solo, to meet the group later in the day or in the evening at the hotel.

* He/she facilitates check-in and check-out in hotels, restaurant orders, border crossing procedures, access to tourist sites.

* Maximum of 8 bikers per guide. A 2nd bike guide is necessary if your group has between 9 and 16 bikers, a 3rd bike guide is necessary if your group has between 17 and 24 bikers, etc...

BUT... If you prefer adventure alone or with your friends, already know how to regulate your pace to complete the stages in time (preferably before dark), and speak at least fluent English, you can do this cycle route without a bike guide.

Wiener Schnitzel (Austria)

Breaded escalope, traditionally veal, usually served with a little Preiselbeeren jam (lingonberry) and a cold potato salad (Erdäpfelsalat) or more classic cooked potatoes. The Schnitzel must be well prepared because it can quickly be very dry.

Salad prepared with pieces of fried and breaded chicken, most often served with pumpkin seed oil and Käferbohnen (large red beans)

Kasnudeln (specialty of Carinthia, Austria)

Viennese hot chocolate (Austria)

The recipe for this hot chocolate topped with whipped cream has been passed down through generations all over the world. The cold, airy cream, which meets the black, sweet, hot, greedy drink : a delight for the taste buds !

Viennese coffee (Austria)

Be careful, in Vienna, “Viennese coffee” is called the “Melange”: coffee mixed with milk, all topped with milk foam, so no whipped cream or chocolate !

Bryndzové halušky (Slovakia)

Slovak national dish : gnocchi with sheep's cheese, mixture of flour and grated potatoes, boiled in water like pasta, with bacon and fresh sheep's cheese.
