Here, you’ll find links I frequently use:

• World-wide OpenSource cycle map (online & app): OpenCycleMap
• German long distance cycling path net (in German and English): Radroutenplaner Deutschland

Cycling – Planning & Tracking Tools

• Naviki (online & app): offers different routes for everyday, leisure, MTB or race bike, routes can also be imported, exported and used on mobile devices
• Tahuna (smartphone app & navigation device) (stopped in 2021): Was a good tool to track routes and for orientation (map) but I don’t like the planning functionality
• GPSies (stopped in 2019): great page to create, edit, import and export GPS tracks, also a huge shared database for GPS tracks

Accomodation:

• Staying in private homes instead in hotels:  AirBnB
• Hotel booking portal: HRS
• mostly I use the local tourist information offices – very old school but just so convenient 🙂
