Amber Route

Riders will spin across the forests of Southern Lithuania, possibly stopping for a dip in a Soviet-era spa. Crossing into Poland the tour will pass by some of the country’s most beautiful lakes before heading south to the capital of Warsaw. Another few days of cycling and sampling the local pirogues along the Wista River in Poland will lead us to the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains. Here the cyclists will cross the border into Slovakia and experience a country of hillside villages and fiery Slivovica, a traditional plum brandy! The 2013 European Capital of Culture, Kosice, will be the spot of our rest day. We’ll quickly say goodbye to Slovakia and enter Hungary where we will visit small rural towns and villages before entering Budapest, one of the great cities of Europe.
