An easier or more demanding trails

I won't say that the daily stages are easy, that they don't require a certain amount of basic biking preparedness, but they are also not demanding. Wonderful is the fact that a biker can choose between an easier and more demanding trail – daily stage – according to the altitude, length and difficultness of the terrain – technically more demanding and easier trails as well as beautiful gravel roads. Therefore this tour is appropriate for a wide specter of biking enthusiasts and long distance biking tours.
