Biking Weekend 2004

22. - 23. August 2004

This weekend is just perfect for sporty trainees who like to discover the lake of Constance and the Rhein by bike! But don't be afraid, you don't have to be very sporty. But you should be a bit used to sit on a bike, because we will cycle each day around 60 kilometers. And if you are not, we can guarantee you an aching bottom...

The landscape at the lake of Constance is very nice - just perfect for biking. On Saturday we will start our biking tour in Romanshorn. During the day we will have the possibility to enjoy the landscape, the little villages and the talks with the other trainees. Of course we will make a break for lunch and swimming. In the evening we will stay in the youthhostel of Schaffhausen, where we will have dinner. People who have still a lot of power and who are not afraid of the next day can go out and discover the night life of Schaffhausen.

On Sunday we will visit the Munot and the Rheinfall in Schaffhausen. Then we will go on our way to Zurzach. During the day we will again make some breaks for swimming in the rhein and discovering little things on the way.
