We are Rückenwind

With us, you´ve got Rückenwind (German for "tail wind")
Trust in us - because vacation time is valuable

Bicycle tours are more than a business to us, they are our passion! Maybe that`s why for more than 25 years more and more people have trusted in us to organize their bicycle vacation; they quickly notice the attention to the details in all of our offers. As bikers, we know the easy to ride and yet almost car-free routes and can avoid too steeps ascents. And we ourselves have experienced all the benefits that turn a bicycle tour into a very special event. Bicycle tours offer the opportunity to enjoy the landscape with all your senses, to hear the chirping of the cicadas, to smell the scent of rosemary, to indulge in colours. We know all of the tours offered on this website from our own experience. In short words: with our tours, we would like to offer you what has been offered to us, and many more very special individual impressions. Enjoy romantic castles, splendid cathedrals and cities and solitary villages as well as the treasures of nature, deep forests, olive groves, rugged costal areas and mountain chains. We are convinced that you will find the right offer for yourself in our selection.
