Originally designed to traverse Western Europe along the continental watershed—much like the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route—Bikepacking Trans Germany (BTG) is a spin-off that prioritizes linking existing biking and hiking trails. This approach allows the route to pass through Germany’s most sparsely populated regions. The result is a 1,000-mile journey spanning the entire length of the country, showcasing some of its most beautiful and lesser-known landscapes.
