Seven nights, starting at €487 ($625) per person, double, departs Sundays through October 31 with cyclists average 29 miles per day.

Germany’s “Romantic Road,” priced at €498 ($637) for Sunday departures through September 10, is a 30-mile-per-day journey along one of Europe’s most beautiful roads -- King Ludwig II’s fairytale Neuschwanstein Castle, the former Bavarian border fortress at Schongau, Roman thermal springs in Tegelberg, medieval villages, mountain lakes against the backdrop of the Bavarian Alps, all contribute to the grandeur of the route between Imst and Donauwörth.

The 33-mile per day “La Dolce Vita -- Verona & Lake Garda” offers cyclists the opportunity to pamper the mind and mind at the same time -- fine arts, rich culture, historic palaces and blue and emerald green lakes as well as the freshest foods and classic wines of Verona, Brescia and Mantua.

Dresden, with its superb Baroque architecture and many art treasures, and Prague, known as the “City of One Hundred Spires” are the bookends of “Dresden to Prague,” a fascinating trip that takes in the gardens of Bohemia, the wine village of Melnik, the former Jewish Ghetto of Terezin and the towering Elbe Sandstone Massif between Bad Schandau and Decin.
