EuroVelo is a network of 17 long-distance cycling routes criss-crossing Europe, with 2 more in early construction across various stages of completion. When completed, the EuroVelo network's total length will be almost 60,875 km (37,826 mi).[1][2] As of 2023 more than 56,000 km (35,000 mi) were in place.[3] EuroVelo is a project of the European Cyclists' Federation (ECF). The multinational project aims to connect 40 countries via the 19 unique routes across the European continent.

EuroVelo routes can be used for bicycle touring across the continent, as well as by local people making short journeys. The routes are made of both existing national bike routes — such as the Dutch LF-Routes, the German D-Routes, the French véloroute "SN3V" and the British National Cycle Network — and existing general purpose roads, together with new stretches of cycle routes to connect them.[4]

History

[edit]

The idea of creating a network of international cycle routes spanning Europe started in 1995. It was initially coordinated by the ECF, De Frie Fugle (Denmark) and Sustrans (UK) and the original plan was to create 12 long-distance cycling routes.

Since August 2007, the ECF has assumed full responsibility for the project. Despite sometimes tight financial constraints, the EuroVelo project has already begun to fulfil the vision of its founders with sections of the network being implemented in countries as far apart as Finland, Cyprus, Spain and the UK. In addition, the EuroVelo brand has become widely known.

There have been various changes to the network over the years, most notably the addition of two new routes — EuroVelo 13 (the Iron Curtain Trail) and EuroVelo 15 (the Rhine Cycle Route) — in September 2011, which are the longest and shortest of the EuroVelo routes.[5]

Future expansion

[edit]

In September 2023, the ECF announced that the Iberian Cycle route connecting Lisbon with Pamplona via Madrid is set to become the future EuroVelo 16 route by 2028 with a length of 1,896 km.[6]

[edit]
Main article: EV2 The Capitals Route

EV2 runs between Galway, Ireland to Moscow, Russia visiting some capital cities along the way, from Eyre Square to Red Square.

Between The Hague in the Netherlands and the German-Polish border, the EV2 follows the bicycle route called European Bicycle Route R1 or Euro-Route R1,[8] an international long-distance cycling route connecting Boulogne-sur-Mer in France with St Petersburg in Russia.

EuroVelo 3 – Pilgrims Route

[edit]
Main article: EV3 The Pilgrims Route

EV3 goes from Trondheim in Norway to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. The route follows traces of old roads used for pilgrimages in the Middle Ages. The route passes through Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Belgium, France and Spain. Most of these countries have a developed network of bicycle routes used as part of the EV3.

EuroVelo 4 – Central Europe Route

[edit]

The EV4 goes from Roscoff, France to Kyiv, Ukraine, going through France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, the Czech Republic, Poland, and Ukraine.

EuroVelo 5 – Via Romea Francigena

[edit]
Main article: EV5 Via Romea Francigena

The EV5 route is inspired by the Via Francigena, a pilgrimage route from London to Rome first recorded by Archbishop of Canterbury Sigeric in the 10th century AD. However, the route of the true Via Francigena is an almost straight line path from London to Rome, while the EuroVelo 5 route takes a more easterly route that passes through Brussels, Luxembourg and Strasbourg in the Alsace. It then follows the Franco-German border, passes through Switzerland following Swiss National Bike Route no. 3, before crossing the Alps at the Gotthard Pass. It then passes through Italy (more closely following Sigeric's route) to Rome before continuing on to the Adriatic port city of Brindisi.

EuroVelo 6 – River Route

[edit]
Main article: EV6 The Rivers Route

Running from Saint-Nazaire on the mouth of the river Loire along that river eastward through France, EV6 passes over the border to Switzerland to Lake Constance and then on to Tuttlingen in Germany, where it begins its way down the Danube following the Donauradweg (Danube Cycle Route). It follows that river, Europe's second longest, through Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Serbia, Bulgaria and Romania to the river's mouth at the Danube Delta. It then continues southwards to end in Constanța, on the Black Sea.[9]

EuroVelo 9 – Amber Route

[edit]
Main article: EV9 The Amber Route



EV9 (in Poland, also labeled as R9) stretches from the Baltic Sea to the Adriatic Sea. It is so named after the precious stone amber collected in the Baltic, which was taken by routes such as this to the Mediterranean. One of the shortest of the EuroVelo routes, EV9 still manages to cut across Europe from north to south, from Poland to Croatia, and in doing so passes through the Czech Republic, Austria and Slovenia en route.[13][14][15]

EuroVelo 10 – Baltic Route

[edit]

EV10 runs around Baltic Sea. Some of its parts are mapped on OpenStreetMap project Relation: EuroVelo 10 - Baltic Sea Cycle Route - part Sweden (63584). On the state of the route there is an OpenStreetMap wiki page [16]

EuV13 follows the old Iron Curtain, the divided borders of Europe during the Cold War.[17] The ICT runs from Kirkenes, Norway on the Barents Sea, along the Finno-Russian border through to the Baltic Sea, then hugs the length of the Baltic coast to Lübeck in Germany. It then follows the old border between West Germany and the former East Germany, the current borders between the Czech Republic and both Germany then Austria, the Austrian-Slovak and Austrian-Hungarian borders before following the borders of Romania, the former Yugoslavia, Bulgaria and North Macedonia.[18] It finishes at Rezovo in Bulgaria on the Black Sea after following the border with Greece and Turkey.[19]

EuroVelo 15 – The Rhine Cycle Route

[edit]
Main article: EV15 The Rhine Cycle Route

EV15, with an overall length of about 1,320 km (820 mi) passes through four countries from the headwaters of the Rhine in Andermatt in the Swiss Alps to the estuary in Rotterdam in the Netherlands, via France [20] and Germany.

EuroVelo 17 – Rhone Cycle Route

[edit]
Main article: EV17 Rhone Cycle Route

EV17 has an overall length of about 1,250 km (780 mi).[21] It starts in Andermatt and runs along each side of Lake Geneva before crossing into France. Passing through Lyon and Avignon, it forks into sections which end in Montpellier and Marseille.

EuroVelo 19 – Meuse Cycle Route

[edit]

EV19, with an overall length of about 1,050 km (650 mi), is the newest and the shortest EuroVelo route.[22] It follows one of the most significant rivers in Europe, from the source of the Meuse on the Langres plateau in France, heading north into Belgium and on to the river mouth at Hook of Holland, with the route ending in the Dutch port city of Rotterdam.

Requirements

[edit]

The ECF has written a route development manual for those working on developing EuroVelo routes.[23] According to the guidelines, all EuroVelo routes should fulfill the following criteria:

  • They must be based on existing or planned national or regional routes of the involved countries.
  • At least two countries must be involved.
  • Route length must be at least 1,000 km (620 mi).
  • Steep sections should be avoided wherever possible and for very steep sections (if unavoidable) alternative transport options (i.e. public transport or alternative routes) should be provided.[24]
  • Easy to communicate - internationally recognisable identity and name (marketing potential).
  • Implementation plans in place (project plan, business plan, partners).
  • Signing in accordance with the regulations of the respective nations and/or regions, continuous and in both directions.
  • Signage supplemented by EuroVelo route information panels, in accordance with the recommendations of UNECE and the ECF's Signing of EuroVelo cycle routes manual.

Route infrastructure

[edit]

In 2011 the share of route infrastructure components in the EuroVelo network was as follows:[25]

  • Bicycle path/lane: 14%
  • Traffic-free asphalted road: 8%
  • Traffic-free non-asphalted road: 6%
  • Public low-traffic, asphalted road: 56%
  • Public non-asphalted road: 3%
  • Public high-traffic, asphalted road: 14%

EuroVelo

View on Grokipedia
from Grokipedia
EuroVelo is a comprehensive network of long-distance routes designed to connect and unite the entire European continent, facilitating safe and enjoyable travel across diverse landscapes and countries. Developed and coordinated by the European Cyclists' Federation (ECF) in partnership with national and regional entities, it promotes , environmental , and cross-border connectivity through high-quality, standardized . As of 2025, the network comprises 17 established routes spanning a total of over 91,800 kilometers, traversing 44 countries—including Liechtenstein, added in June 2025—and linking major cities, cultural sites, and natural attractions. Approximately 69% of the network—more than 63,000 kilometers—is fully developed and cyclable, featuring certified signage, dedicated paths, and accommodations tailored for cyclists, while ongoing efforts focus on completing the remaining sections to enhance accessibility and safety. Initiated in the 1990s by the ECF to create a unified European cycling framework, EuroVelo has evolved into a flagship project supporting economic growth in tourism, health benefits from active travel, and reduced carbon emissions.

Overview

Purpose and Scope

EuroVelo is a project initiated by the European Cyclists' Federation (ECF) to develop a comprehensive network of interconnected long-distance routes across , primarily aimed at facilitating , commuting, and recreational . This initiative seeks to create seamless pathways that encourage cyclists to explore the continent while promoting as an alternative to motorized . By linking existing cycle paths, quiet roads, and dedicated infrastructure, EuroVelo addresses the need for standardized, high-quality routes that support multi-modal travel and reduce environmental impact. The thematic focus of EuroVelo emphasizes sustainable travel by integrating into broader efforts to lower carbon emissions and foster eco-friendly . It promotes benefits through and cultural exchange by guiding cyclists through diverse landscapes, including coastal paths, river valleys, and historical trails that highlight Europe's natural and heritage sites. These routes are designed to enhance and connectivity, allowing users to experience regional cultures without crossing national borders in a fragmented manner. In terms of geographical scope, the network spans 39 European countries, including the recent addition of in June 2025, connecting urban centers with rural and natural areas to form a borderless web of pathways accessible to a wide range of users. It prioritizes inclusivity, accommodating families, tourists, and everyday commuters with , services, and infrastructure suitable for multi-day journeys at moderate paces. This broad coverage ensures that EuroVelo serves as a versatile tool for both leisure and practical travel, developed in collaboration with national and local authorities.

Network Statistics

The EuroVelo network encompasses a total planned length of 91,812 km distributed across 19 routes (17 established and 2 in planning), of which 17 are actively developed. As of 2025, 63,157 km (69%) of this network is fully developed and cyclable, reflecting substantial progress but with completion rates differing significantly by route—for instance, core routes often achieve 70-90% completion while others lag behind. This extensive infrastructure engages 39 countries and collaborates with over 100 partner organizations, including national coordination centers and regional stakeholders coordinated by the European Cyclists' Federation (ECF). Annually, the network attracts millions of cyclists for long-distance touring and recreational use, contributing significantly to tourism revenue.

History

Origins and Establishment

The concept of EuroVelo originated in 1995 during a meeting between the European Cyclists' Federation (ECF), the Danish organization De Frie Fugle, and the UK-based Sustrans, who proposed developing a unified network of long-distance routes across to promote and mobility. This initiative aimed to connect diverse regions through bicycle-friendly paths, building on existing national networks and fostering international collaboration in the post-Cold War era. The proposal emerged from earlier discussions, including a 1994 idea by Jens Erik Larsen of De Frie Fugle, inspired by Denmark's national cycle route network that opened in 1993. In 1995, momentum grew with a conference on national cycle route networks in , , followed by the establishment of an ECF working group at its annual general meeting in . The group's first meeting in , , later that year, produced an initial map outlining 12 core routes designed to link major cities, natural landmarks, and cultural sites while emphasizing cross-border connections between Western and Eastern . A 1996 conference in Bruges, , further refined these plans, including the preparation of a and updated map by Claudio Pedroni of Italy's FIAB. EuroVelo was officially launched on November 21, 1997, in , , where the network of 12 routes was presented to highlight its potential for economic and environmental benefits through cycling tourism. This event coincided with successful applications for initial funding from the , including match funding to support planning and raise awareness, with programs like facilitating early cross-border projects. The launch underscored the network's role in promoting unity and cooperation across a newly integrated .

Key Milestones and Expansions

In August 2007, the European Cyclists' Federation (ECF) assumed full responsibility for coordinating the EuroVelo project from its previous partners, Sustrans and Foreningen Frie Fugle, establishing the EuroVelo Council as an advisory body to guide standardized development across the network. This shift enhanced international collaboration and recognition, enabling more consistent infrastructure improvements and promotion efforts. A significant expansion occurred in September 2011 when EuroVelo 13 – Iron Curtain Trail and EuroVelo 15 – Cycle Route were officially added to the network during an event at the , increasing the total to 15 routes and emphasizing historical and river-based themes. These additions highlighted EuroVelo's role in connecting diverse regions, from the former border spanning 20 countries to the Rhine's 1,450 km path through six nations. Since 2013, at least three new routes have joined the network: EuroVelo 17 – Cycle Route in 2016, EuroVelo 19 – Cycle Route in 2019, and EuroVelo 14 – Waters of in 2020, alongside major extensions to existing paths that have boosted overall connectivity. In 2020, the ECF adopted the EuroVelo Strategy 2030 and a new governance structure to guide long-term development. Extensions to routes such as EuroVelo 3 and EuroVelo 14 were launched in 2023. In 2023, the Iberian Cycle Route was announced as the future EuroVelo 16, a 1,900 km path from to via , with full integration targeted for 2028 to strengthen southern European links. Most recently, in October 2025, the Sava Cycle Route was designated as a candidate for the network—potentially as EuroVelo 18—spanning 1,136 km across , , , and , with completion and inclusion planned by 2029 to connect key Balkan capitals.

Governance and Standards

Role of the European Cyclists' Federation

The European Cyclists' Federation (ECF), founded in 1983 as an independent non-profit association by 12 bicycle user organizations, serves as the primary coordinator and developer of the EuroVelo network, advocating for enhanced and policies across Europe. Headquartered in , , the ECF now comprises more than 70 member organizations representing over 500,000 individual cyclists from more than 40 countries, functioning as an umbrella body that unites national cycling advocacy groups. In 2007, the ECF assumed full responsibility for EuroVelo through a formal transfer from its initial project partners, Sustrans and Foreningen Frie Fugle, establishing the EuroVelo Council as an advisory body to guide its implementation. The ECF's organizational structure for EuroVelo includes the ECF Board as the highest decision-making authority, the EuroVelo comprising representatives from National EuroVelo Coordination Centres (NECCs) for strategic advice, and a dedicated Management Team handling day-to-day operations across six key work programs: route network development, services, marketing, monitoring, organization, and financial affairs. Its core responsibilities encompass route planning and international coordination, where the ECF oversees the integration of EuroVelo routes into broader European frameworks, such as the (TEN-T), while collaborating with NECCs—national entities like government agencies, boards, and NGOs—to ensure cohesive development and maintenance. Additionally, the ECF facilitates and through the EuroVelo , a platform that aggregates cycling statistics to inform policy and demonstrate economic impacts, such as employment and revenue generation from bike travel. Through strategic partnerships, the ECF secures funding and implementation support for EuroVelo by working closely with national cycling organizations, European Union institutions like the , and tourism agencies, including joint initiatives with to promote sustainable cycling routes. These collaborations enable cross-border projects, such as Interreg-funded efforts for specific routes, emphasizing EuroVelo's role in fostering green mobility and reducing carbon emissions via accessible, low-impact travel options. The ECF promotes EuroVelo as a cornerstone of through high-profile events, including the annual Velo-City conferences and the EuroVelo & Conference, which gather policymakers, operators, and advocates to share best practices and advance . It further disseminates information via monthly newsletters, campaigns, and annual reports that highlight EuroVelo's contributions to environmental goals, such as supporting the EU's Green Deal by promoting active modes over motorized alternatives.

Certification and Quality Criteria

The European Certification Standard (ECS), developed by the European Cyclists' Federation (ECF), establishes rigorous quality criteria for EuroVelo routes to ensure they are safe, continuous, and suitable for cyclists of varying abilities. Essential criteria, which must be met 100% along the route, focus on core needs for regular cyclists, including no sections with very high traffic (defined as over 10,000 average daily traffic or ADT vehicles), no more than 50% high traffic (4,001-10,000 ADT) per daily section, continuous signage following national or EuroVelo guidelines, and cumulative elevation gain or loss not exceeding 1,000 meters per daily section.

These audits enable continuous experiences in many areas while highlighting ongoing efforts to connect remaining gaps. Cyclist engagement on the network is substantial, primarily by touring and recreational riders, with peak activity occurring during summer months and drawing international users who utilize the routes for multi-day trips and vacations, contributing to the network's role as a key pillar of European . Completion levels vary by country, with high development in Western European nations such as the (100%), (90%), and (91%), compared to lower levels in like (32%) and (0%), where challenges such as funding and terrain slow progress. These disparities are tracked through standardized ECF assessments to guide targeted investments. Monitoring of usage relies on automated counters installed along key sections, providing data analyzed from 649 sites to the ECF. The 2025 reports note a 5.6% increase in ridership at monitored sites compared to 2024, driven by heightened interest in outdoor, low-contact travel and improved route connectivity.

Planned Extensions and New Routes

The EuroVelo network continues to expand through planned extensions and new candidate routes, aiming to enhance connectivity across underrepresented regions and promote sustainable cycling tourism. These developments align with the EuroVelo Strategy 2030, which emphasizes completing high-quality by integrating national and regional paths that meet certification standards. Ongoing efforts focus on southern and southeastern extensions to bridge gaps in the Mediterranean and Balkan areas, with several projects slated for completion or formal integration in the coming years. One significant addition is the Iberian Cycle Route, designated as the future EuroVelo 16, spanning 1,896 kilometers from , , through central via , to on the French border. This route, announced as a in 2023, is projected to join the network by 2028, connecting the Atlantic Coast Route (EV1) and the Pilgrims Route () while boosting access in the . Development involves upgrading existing paths to ensure safe, continuous , with an emphasis on scenic and cultural highlights like historic cities and diverse landscapes. Extensions to existing routes are also advancing, particularly for (Mediterranean Route), which has been approved to extend 500 kilometers into Turkey's Peninsula, linking to the Greek islands of Lesvos and before reaching as its eastern terminus. This addition, formalized in , enhances the route's total length to approximately 7,500 kilometers and promotes cross-continental connections from Spain's to the . Similarly, EuroVelo 13 (Iron Curtain Trail) incorporates southward segments through and into , tracing the historic border from via the Evros River to , with ongoing infrastructure improvements to achieve full certification along its 10,600-kilometer path. A prominent new candidate is the Sava Cycle Route, proposed as EuroVelo 18, covering about 1,136 kilometers along the River through , , , and . Approved as a in October 2025, it connects the (via EV10 and EV13) to the Adriatic and (EV6), fostering regional cooperation and expected formal integration by 2029 upon meeting development criteria. This route prioritizes environmental sensitivity and multimodal links, exemplifying how new proposals must span at least two countries and 1,000 kilometers to balance the network geographically.

Impact and Significance

Economic and Tourism Benefits

The EuroVelo network significantly contributes to Europe's economy through cycling tourism, generating an estimated €6–7 billion annually in spending on trips with three or more overnights, according to a 2025 European Cyclists' Federation (ECF) analysis presented at . This revenue supports jobs in sectors such as , bike rental, and repair services, as part of broader cycling tourism that sustains approximately 525,000 jobs across the EU. EuroVelo boosts local economies, particularly in rural areas, by attracting visitors who spend on accommodations, food, and local products. For instance, along EuroVelo 6 (the Danube Cycle Route), cycling has enhanced wine in the Danube region, drawing visitors to vineyards and related cultural sites, thereby invigorating rural economies in countries like Austria, Hungary, and Serbia. The network integrates with EU policies, such as the (TEN-T), promoting sustainable mobility and . Partnerships with transport providers, including airlines offering bike-friendly policies for offset emissions and carriage, facilitate access to routes and encourage multimodal travel. A notable case study is EuroVelo 6, particularly along its section, where approximately 200,000 multi-day cyclists contribute to local economies through extended stays averaging five nights. This route exemplifies how EuroVelo drives tourism revenue, with segments like France's à Vélo generating €0.5 billion in direct economic impact in 2023. Overall, the network's development aligns with EU goals for , potentially yielding €7 billion in direct annual revenue once fully completed.

Environmental and Health Contributions

EuroVelo routes contribute to environmental sustainability by promoting low-emission travel modes that significantly reduce (CO₂) emissions compared to motorized alternatives. This aligns with broader goals under the Green Deal to decarbonize transport, where tourism helps lower the sector's 75% share of total emissions. In specific contexts, such as Portugal's Atlantic coast segments, a modest 2% shift to via EuroVelo could avoid over €1.1 million in annual CO₂ emissions costs. The network also supports biodiversity conservation by traversing protected areas and employing designs that minimize ecological disruption. Routes like EuroVelo 19 – Meuse Cycle Route pass through national parks and UNESCO biosphere reserves, including France's Monthermé natural park, Belgium's Riverpark Maasvalley, and the Netherlands' Biesbosch National Park and Maasheggen UNESCO Man and the Biosphere area, fostering awareness of habitats for species such as migratory birds, otters, beavers, and rare orchids. Low-impact infrastructure, including eco-friendly rest areas and paths avoiding sensitive zones, encourages habitat preservation while engaging communities in conservation efforts. On the health front, EuroVelo encourages active travel, which studies link to reduced obesity rates and improved cardiovascular outcomes through increased physical activity. Participation in cycling along the network has grown, with overall usage showing a +10.3% increase compared to pre-pandemic levels as of 2019, including sustained weekend and seasonal shifts that promote regular exercise. In regions like Portugal, these benefits translate to potential savings exceeding €140 million over a decade from lower mortality and better air quality. In 2025, EuroVelo advanced sustainability through initiatives like the European Certification Standard (ECS), which assesses routes for quality and eco-friendliness, with training programs certifying sections such as 1,287 km of EuroVelo 15. The EuroVelo 19 Eco-Tour highlighted carbon-conscious practices, including accommodations and "" guidelines, to offset environmental footprints along biodiversity-rich paths.
