We have tried to classify the tours according to their endurance and strength requirements.
The following table provides an overview. In principle, the tours do not have any particular technical difficulties. Sure-footedness is required for the hikes in rough terrain. With a few exceptions (e.g. the boat tours), almost all of them are hardly suitable for people with restricted mobility. Please contact us in individual cases.
We have assigned some tours to two categories or classified them as “flexible”.
These tours offer two options per day (“TWIN concept”) or the tours can be flexibly designed and shortened by accompanying transport or on site. There is something for everyone on these tours – ideal for families and groups.
TWIN – Tours:
Have fun!
| easy |
| Easy tours without special physical requirements. The joy of nature and fun in movement without specific preparation are in the foreground. You usually have enough time to enjoy the country and its people. |
|
| Hikes with walking times up to 4 h per day, distances mostly under 10 km, up to 500 meters in altitude. As preparation we recommend: Start taking long walks 2 to 3 months before the trip. Schedule an hour of concentrated brisk walking once a week. | |
|
| Ideal tours for pleasure and leisure cyclists: easy daily stages in flat or hilly terrain of about 30 – 60 km and usually no more than 500 meters in altitude. Basically, all e-bike tours without special requirements for riding technique also fall into this category. As preparation, we recommend: Ride your bike regularly two to three times a week for an hour. Get used to the saddle, check brakes, lights and gears. Schedule a slightly longer tour twice a month. Drive as leisurely as you like, but keep your eye on your destination. Measure the time. How long do you need for 10 km? | |
|
| Canoe tour for beginners. You will receive an introduction and paddle in a relaxed way on non-flowing or low flowing waters with little boat traffic. You will have ample time to practice, create, re-sort and enjoy. As preparation we recommend: Familiarize yourself with the route description and the map. If time permits, stop by the boarding area once beforehand and look forward to a new experience. | |
|
| Cross-country skiing for ambitious beginners and returners with movement confidence and a solid conditional health level. These tours usually combine the opportunity for technique-oriented ski training in classic cross-country skiing or skating with a few day tours in the open country. You move on the training area or on well groomed and signposted trails. Mostly easy trails are marked in BLUE, medium difficult in RED, difficult in BLACK. The trails run mainly on undulating terrain with gradients of up to approx. 20% or single, short, marked and secured steep sections, which you can also overcome on foot. Steep sections in particular are well laid out. In general, however, the tracks may contain curves that force the runner to actively change lanes and directions. As preparation we recommend extended (winter) hikes with a daypack. Check how to dress flexibly warm (onion principle), so as not to sweat too much and be protected from wind, cold and precipitation. Gymnastics and stretching exercises of the leg muscles are helpful and are strongly recommended for preparation. You should be responsive, persistent, goal-oriented, and in good physical health. | |
| medium |
| Moderately demanding tours without special technical training but high concentration and endurance as well as general broad sport condition health-oriented movement. Fun in nature and exercise. Daily biking and walking up to about 6 hours. You will usually have enough time to enjoy the country and the people, but keep an eye on your destination and the time. You are well prepared conditionally if you do active endurance recreational sports 2 to 3 times a week such as running, cycling, conditioning gymnastics or any type of team sport that you enjoy. |
|
| Hikes with walking times up to 6 h, sometimes up to 8 h a day, distances mostly under 25 km, up to 1,000 meters in altitude, occasionally more. As preparation, we recommend: Begin extended walks and concentrated brisk walking in hilly terrain 3 to 6 months before the trip. | |
|
| You can look forward to some challenging daily stages, which sometimes include longer climbs and descents. The differences in altitude are up to about 1,200 meters, occasionally more. You are – with breaks – 6 h to 8 h a day on the bike and cover 60 – 120 km along rivers or in hilly low mountain ranges. As preparation, we recommend: Ride your bike regularly two to three times a week. You know your bike, feel comfortable on the saddle and handlebars even over hours and have brakes, lights and gears in view. Schedule a slightly longer tour twice a month. Drive as briskly as you like, keeping your eye on your destination. Measure the time. How long do you need for 80 km? | |
|
| Canoe tour for beginners and at least some experienced with previous knowledge on board any boat. You will receive an introduction and paddle on non-flowing or flowing waters with little boat traffic and no pronounced rapids (no canyoning). You will have ample time to practice, create, re-sort and enjoy. You are up to 6 h a day with the boat. You don’t mind the sitting. You are sufficiently protected against moisture, cold and heat. As preparation we recommend: Familiarize yourself with the route description and the map. If time permits, stop by the boarding area once beforehand and look forward to a new experience. | |

| challenging |
| Are you looking for something special? To be honest, we hardly have any exterior expeditions on board. Trips that we classify as challenging are mostly designed so that you can ‘let loose’ in your sport – but you don’t have to. We call this TWIN. The road cyclist among you is welcome to ride 200 km a day; the others can also enjoy the day in a more relaxed way. Please have a look at the individual tours. |

| You can look forward to some challenging daily stages, which sometimes include longer climbs and descents. The differences in altitude are up to about 1,200 meters, occasionally more. They are – with breaks – up to 8 hours a day on the bike and cover 100 – 150 km along rivers or in (middle) mountain landscape. As preparation, we recommend: Ride your bike regularly two to three times a week. You know your bike, feel comfortable on the saddle and handlebars even over hours and have brakes, lights and gears in view. Schedule a slightly longer tour twice a month. Drive as briskly as you like, keeping your eye on your destination. Measure the time. How long does it take you to travel 100 km? | |
