2. Austria, Liechtenstein and Switzerland

You can cycle through all of Liechtenstein within a day (the widest spot is 12,37-kilometres-long, the longest is 24,77 kilometres). You can find the most beautiful bike routes through the world’s sixth smallest state wedged between Austria and Switzerland. Around half of the area are mountains, Liechtenstein is thus the perfect place for mountain bike tours on 2000 metres over sea level. Museums and old forts also invite visitors.

3. Turkey

Route length: 3,437km
In Turkey, you can find the best cycling routes thanks to the bike route planner and cycle past ancient relicts or the turquoise-coloured sea and experience true biking adventures. Especially Cappadocia is a popular hotspot for bikers. The landscape was formed by volcanic eruptions and watercourses and has brought forth the weirdest constructions. Jagged rocks and mushroom-like towers emerge from the ground and hem the curvy bike trails. Another tip: Good tyres pay off! The Turkish streets mostly consist of rough tar which often melts in the summer so that pieces of tar stick to the tyres.
4. Chile

Route length: 4,505km
Cycling along the coast while enjoying the view of the sea or undertake a steep bike tour in the Andes and feeling the thrill of being close to an active volcano are only some of the possibilities offered to an enthusiastic cyclist in Chile. Take care! The hot sun, water shortages, high temperatures during the day and low temperatures during the night make trips in Chile a true adventure during every season.
5. China

Route length: 5,953km
Cycle through China‘s 18 climate zones and experience mountains, plateaus, rolling hills and flat plains on your way. Admire the diverse fauna and flora and try to spot one of the very few free-roaming pandas – all in all, there are only 1.864 pandas in the wild!
6. West-Africa

Route length: 7,384km
Several Bikemap routes have already been created in some West-African countries. A big part of them however hasn’t been explored by bike yet.
7. United States of America

Route length: 8,156km
