Via Romea Germanica by bike

PEDAL FROM THE ALPS TO ROME ALONG THE ANCIENT CAMINO

Via Romea Germanica is a 2,200-km-long historic European Camino that links the North of Germany to Rome. Pilgrims walked along this route to pay homage to the holy apostles Peter and Paul in Rome. The Camino has recently become part of the Paths of Europe, an important international cooperation network that supports the main European cultural itineraries.

The walk route follows tracks which are too offroads for biking. We’ve been studying the best practicable dirt roads to ride the Italian piece of Via Romea Francigena by bike.

We suggest to use a hybrid bike or a gravel bike: quite fast on tarmac and still effective on strada bianca. But e–bikes or road bikes with thicker tires are good solutions too.

The itinerary from From the Alps to the Eternal City is divided into 12 challenging bike days (2 weeks, 80–110 km per day) or 18 easy bike days (3 weeks, 50–70 km per day).

You don’t need to pedal the whole route to Rome, you can pick just one week.

Either you join us for the challenging journey or you bike the easy route, the style is the slow travel: we enjoy breaks in towns and villages, we take time to discover historical sites, take pictures and fully dive into the natural surroundings.

Yes, the journey is a dip in history and spirituality, among nature, beautiful landscapes and art treasures.
