Sustainable cycling together for a greener world
What does cycling have to do with sustainability?
In addition to the Explorer Hotels' sustainability program, we'd like to share our best tips for sustainable cycling! We care and want to share them with you 🍃
It's so easy to travel sustainably on your bike 🤫
Zero waste is also possible when cycling
Don't forget your lunch or snack box for the road, an extra bag for possible eventualities, and your refillable water bottle. Sustainability on the go can be that simple 😉
Breakfast on the go? At Explorer Hotels, you have the option of packing something for later. We'll be happy to create the perfect, delicious lunch package for you.
Regional & seasonal
Transporting food involves countless kilometers and emitting many tons of greenhouse gases. Did you know that? That's why local food is (almost) always the better choice. Locally grown food is organic, and pesticides and chemical fertilizers are avoided. It's often simply healthier and tastes much better.
At Explorer Hotels, you'll find a large and varied selection of "regional products": https://www.explorer-hotels.com/nachhaltig/regionale-nachhaltigkeit.html?nocache=1721311914.
Our tip: A seasonal calendar gives you an overview of when which fruit or vegetables are harvested. 😊
Repair instead of throwing away
Did you know that the average person in Germany produces more than ten kilos of electronic waste per year? That's a lot, right? Let's repair more together, thus simply conserving resources and creating new jobs.
Have you ever heard of a "Repair Cafe": https://www.repaircafe.org/de/? These are pretty cool repair initiatives run by hobbyists to get broken items working again.
At the "Explorer Workbench": https://www.explorer-hotels.com/inklusivleistungen/bike-ski-area/ you can quickly check your bike and get it back in working order if necessary. The advantage: The right tools are also included.
clever & environmentally conscious ✔️
Planning sustainable cycling tours isn't just about choosing green options, it's also about staying healthy and safe. Make sure you take enough breaks to rest your legs and keep an eye on the weather to avoid getting caught in a rainstorm. This will make your ride not only eco-friendly but also truly enjoyable!
How to make your bike tour a sustainable experience
Bicycles or e-bikes? Which is more environmentally friendly?
An e-bike is proven to be easier on the joints and a good choice for longer rides. If your focus is on maximum calorie burn and muscle activity, you're better off hopping on a non-assisted bike. One thing is certain, though: Cycling is balm for the soul, good for your health, and contributes significantly to environmental protection, whether by bike or e-bike. 🚲
Highly popular: Bed & Bike
Bed & Bike hotels are designed with bikers in mind when it comes to room amenities, offering cycling enthusiasts everything they need.
At the "Explorer Hotels": https://www.explorer-hotels.com/inklusivleistungen/zimmer/, you can relax thoroughly after your tour and start the next day feeling perfectly rested.
Design tour planning
The key is a healthy self-assessment. Listen to yourself and your body and enjoy plenty of breaks.
A route comparison shows you different options, and tour reports give you a first impression of the conditions.
Check the weather regularly, because we all know how unpredictable nature can be. ⛅
Cool tips for bikepacking can be found here: https://www.explorer-hotels.com/sport-action/bikepacking.html!
Pay attention to your surroundings
Be respectful and pay attention to other cyclists and hikers. Be sure to stay on the marked paths, both for your own safety and to protect animals and nature. This way, everyone benefits and you can enjoy your vacation to the fullest.
So what does sustainability have to do with cycling?
As you can see, quite a lot 😉
You can actively decide to do something for your environment and your body - it can be that simple!
