Reisroute

Verken de Baltische kust en de nationale parken van Litouwen, Letland en Estland op zeer mooie routes. De tour omvat de drie hoofdsteden - Vilnius, Riga en Tallinn - met hun oude steden die door UNESCO zijn aangewezen als werelderfgoed; het Curonian Spit dat vroeger gesloten was voor bezoekers; tegenwoordig wordt het vaak de Litouwse Sahara genoemd; het grootste en mooiste Estse eiland Saaremaa, het Nationaal Park Lahemaa, dat een van de laatste ongerepte gebieden aan de Baltische kust is en het Otepää merengebied - het zogenaamde "Estlandse Zwitserland". Reis van Litouwen in het zuiden, door Letland en naar Estland in het noorden; ervaar een grote verscheidenheid aan steden, dorpen en landschappen voor een uitstekende kennismaking met de zeer verschillende karakters van deze zeer verschillende landen.

De tour begint in Vilnius waar je je tourkaarten met gedetailleerd programma en routebeschrijving krijgt. De volgende dag staan je huurfietsen klaar voor je eerste rit naar Trakai. Deze tour is een halve tour, dat wil zeggen dat gedurende de hele tour, behalve de Curonian Spit en Jūrmala, onze chauffeur met minibus en fietskar bij je is en je kunt deelnemen aan stadstours (Vilnius, Riga, Tallinn) onder leiding van professionele gidsen. Onze chauffeur vervoert je bagage elke dag naar het volgende hotel. Als je pech hebt, zal onze chauffeur alles voor je regelen. Als je problemen hebt - neem dan contact op met de chauffeur of ons kantoor.

Totale afstanden: fietsen ~515 km / 322 mijl, met de bus ~1795 km /1122 mi., met de boot ~76 km/48 mi.

Fietsklasse: We beoordelen deze reis als gemiddeld. De dagelijkse fietsroutes, voornamelijk over wegen met weinig verkeer en fietspaden, variëren van 25 tot 65 km (16-41 mijl) per dag met de mogelijkheid om meer kilometers te fietsen op sommige dagen zoals dag 6 (het verkennen van Jūrmala Resort) en dag 9 (omwegen naar Saaremaa Island). Het terrein is gevarieerd en glooiend met een paar geleidelijke heuvels op sommige rijdagen (een paar steile hellingen en afdalingen op het Curonian Spit, de vallei van de rivier de Gauja en de regio Otepää) en het grootste deel van de tocht doodstil. De tocht gaat door alle drie Baltische staten en bevat daarom een paar lange minibus-transfers tussen de interessantste fietsbestemmingen en de hoofdsteden. Onze wandeltochten door de oude hoofdsteden lopen langs geplaveide straten.
