The Moselle Cycle Route. Mike Wells

Чтение книги онлайн.

      Mike Wells has been a keen cyclist for over 20 years. Starting with UK Sustrans routes, like Lon Las Cymru in Wales and the C2C route across northern England, he soon moved on to long-distance routes in continental Europe and beyond. These include cycling both the Camino and Ruta de la Plata to Santiago de la Compostela, a traverse of Cuba from end to end, a circumnavigation of Iceland and a trip across Lapland to the North Cape.

      This is Mike’s second cycling guide for Cicerone, following his guide to cycling the Rhine from source to sea. Indeed, it was while preparing the Rhine cycle guide that he became aware of the well-developed cycling infrastructure along the nearby Moselle. The two books could be used together to create an attractive circular route starting in Basel, Mulhouse or Koblenz then cycling down one river and back up the other.
