Cycling routes in Germany, the Alps and France

From the Elbe Cycle Route along the Danube to the Loire: bike journeys recorded with TripPhoto – every tour on the map, with elevation profile, gradient and the photos exactly where they were taken.

Plan your route along cycle paths instead of trunk roads, switch on the cycle and hiking networks on the map, and take the planned route with you – on the way your iPhone shows the next stop.
