If the cycling gets too tiring, the weather too bad or if you’ve simply spent slightly too long at the beach or in the beer gardens, you can often shorten the route by taking the train. All you need to do is go to the next station, buy a ticket from the machine, get on the train with your bike and enjoy the passing countryside.
