The Organized Sponsored Bike Tour

You are welcome to take part in the organized sponsored bike tour from Freiburg to Taize. The tour will last 7
days, covering a total of 400
km, and we will cycle between
40 km and 90 km per day. We
will spend the nights on farms or staying in churches. Together we want
to draw attention to the
current situation of world
hunger. At the same time we
can exchange ideas, learn
from each other, make new
connections and encourage
each other to create change.
We look forward to seeing you!
Let's go on an adventure
together. Are you interested?
