📋 Tender Overview
Summertime is cycling time. Just in time for the summer holidays, the Bavarian Ministry of Transport is introducing the new app "Cycle Route Planner Bavaria". This replaces the previous app "Bayernnetz für Radler 2020" and impresses above all with new map technology and easy and intuitive usability. Bavaria's Transport Minister Christian Bernreiter is very impressed with the new app: "Not only as Transport Minister, but also as a passionate cyclist, I know how much a good app can make cycling more fun. Whether in your free time or on everyday trips: With the Cycle Route Planner Bavaria, cyclists can reach their destination safely and reliably."
In order to make planning cycling routes for both leisure and everyday use even easier, the ministry has thoroughly revised the existing offering. The result is a new app with many improvements:
State-of-the-art map technology with razor-sharp details
Route planning on more than 50,000 kilometers of family-friendly themed routes with intelligent search function
Tailor-made offline maps for on the go
Elevation profile, route length, travel time and altitude difference
Easily share routes between smartphones or PCs with family and friends
Lightning-fast import and export of GPX tracks
Detailed statistics on gradients, route location and cycle path proportions
Advantage over other routing apps: App is free
The Bavaria network for cyclists is also available as a paper map and is continually being updated. It currently contains 125 tourist theme routes.
Cycling is an important building block for sustainable mobility. Cycling is not only healthy and environmentally friendly, but often faster than other alternatives - especially over shorter distances. "Strengthening cycling is a focus of Bavarian mobility policy," explains Bernreiter. "For people to switch to cycling, we need not only apps, but above all a modern and safe cycling infrastructure. That is why we are intensifying the construction of cycle paths under state construction responsibility and are supporting our municipalities even better. Together with the municipalities, we want to build a further 1,500 km of new cycle paths by 2030." The Free State invests 40 to 50 million euros annually in the construction of cycle paths on federal and state roads. It also supports the municipalities in planning and construction through tried-and-tested funding programs with high funding rates. Many measures, one goal: to promote cycling, especially in everyday life.
