Schuften and Schottern: Work with the Gravelbike

Holidays and work to combine are in trend. Cycling without. The region of Upper Bavaria will connect both and thus lock new guests in the region. A concept with future?

Parsdorf – Die letzten Kilometer zu meinem Co-Workation-Domizil is empty, who else can do it, with the Gravelbike zurück. Trotz leichtem Nieselregen setzt sofort a Urlaubsgefühl ein.

Vorbei a Bauernhöfen radle ich vom Bahnhof Vaterstetten in just 20 minutes after Parsdorf. The small Ort is located near the Munich City Area – touristy or not, but in unmittelbarer Nähe zum Wald and the first Hügeln. One of the best options for wheel touring, a cleaner way to work and perfect for a new trend: Gravel-Co-Workation.

If you understand the meaning: Gravel bedeutet übersetzt Schotter. Gravel bikes combine, a little bit, the dynamics of a rider with the geländetauglichkeit and mountain bikes that are just like knitterer. And you’re lying in the trend.

Co-Workation or designates the combination of vacation and work with colleges – hence the “Co-“. A model that pops up more than once and that is – then one of the colleges – with digital nomads and people with flexible working conditions to become more credible. The Corona pandemic has exacerbated this trend.

German return

In other Italian states, people are offended by the concept. In Germany, hotels and tourism regions are still experiencing some sort of return. “If the chance of a new job is greater, the land area of ​​the Alps is getting bigger. We haven’t used this other one: the Work-Life-Mountain-Balance,” said Veronika Engel, who is promoting the topic in the Alpine region with his Verein CoworkationAlps.

A walking, yoga or e-bike co-working are a natural common brainwave. Now but we want to grind through Upper Bavaria.

The first Tour führt from Parsdorf heraus in den Wald. The Sonne is united by the Baumkronen and shines in the dense Moos. It works a bit in a Märchenwald. Nur auf die Wildschweine müsse man, says Guide Max Marquardt. There is a group that starts in the first years and is a typical Bayerischen Wiesen with Kühen. After 20 kilometers the small Ort Glonn is reached.

Coffee and bicycles

Lisa Hinterholzer and her partner have been a Kaffeerösterei here for 15 years, the ideal place for a first stop on the Radtour. “Radfahren und Kaffeetrinken gehört sisterammen, ist geschichtlich miteinander nüpft”, explains Marquardt. Coffee repairers are always welcome as sponsors at Radevents, many ambitious Radsportlers are looking forward to the coffee for the sister Leistungskick.

Now I am a better person for sports activities, as well as for Erholung in Upper Bavaria. And so it is im entspannten Tempo zurück Richtung Parsdorf. The route through the asphalt through the southern Bayerische Dörfer, over a small pass, over the Schotterwegen through the forest and over a wiese. The various parts are no problem with the Gravelbike. After a ride of 50 kilometers you are on your way to the “Bader Hotel” in Parsdorf.

Ab an den Schreibtisch im Hotel

Were it vacation, I could raise the feet. If you are a leader in your Workation. Also at the small writing table in hotel rooms. It is a fact that it is all so, it is a sport that goes to the sport and with free head and it is better.

In the Holzstuhl it is if it is good, ergonomic working is not so natural here. An internet connection can be complicated in its limits. Before the start of the Arbeitstage as Hotelzimmer also only stipulated, a night with small tasks is an older Abwechslung. Besides damaging the view ins Grüne and the very tasty evenings in the hotel restaurant.

Community with CoworkationAlps examines the region of Upper Bavaria, the working conditions and the digital infrastructure in the accommodations that improve and cooperation to promote. If you can no longer use the Co-Workation trips, you can better put together a package.

Die Gäste müssen Anreise, Unterkunft sowie Leihe und Transport von Rädern in der Regel itself organize. A number of hotels in Upper Bavaria are just a few of the most popular hotels in Upper Bavaria. “That is a chance for a lifetime, that tourist bisher is not so over-country and enjoys the beauty of the classic season,” said Miriam Hördegen vom Verein Tourismus Oberbayern Munich. Co-Workation can deploy young Leute in the Locken Region in combination with Sport.

There are no private persons who are engaged in cooperation for their business organizations. Here you will find a number of things that are in the „Bader Hotel“ an extensive conference room. However, many companies from the Concept still gar nicht auf dem Schirm.

“Where home office is not normal, one must not speak about workation”, says Veronika Engel, see during her engagement the Fortschritte in the Alpine region. On the portal with coworkland.de or workation.de there are special offers for groups, who want to work in the future – not in other parts of Germany, but in whole Europe.

With free head on the face

In Upper Bavaria, during the evenings, there were snow showers, matsch and temperatures in the Gefrierpunkt auf mich. Not for Schönwetterfahrer. If you want to use a Gravel bike. Also ab auf den Sattel.

Diesmal führt der Weg southwards in Richtung der Alpen. It is about a forest area and a natural way to enjoy an undisputed charm. The Radfahren power over the Kopf is free, and in a small group it is now the case that everyone becomes stronger. But take the temperature with the same Kilometer from, Hand and Zehen frieren. Insofern I am froh, that is the Etappenziel Holzkirchen that is smaller than 30 Kilometers there.

Christian Lutz from Specialized works here. The US-Radhersteller founded a company in Holzkirchen and made a profit with Trend zum Radfahren. “Gravel bikes come from the USA from the Teich zu uns geschwappt. I’m happy, that’s a trend, but we still have a whole lot of fun,” says Lutz. Auch Co-Workation-Angebote with the Art Fahrräder dürften sich damit halten.

Weites Betätigungsfeld in Oberbayern

Damit das Radsportangebot in Oberbayern auch angenommen wird, work the Region an der Besserung von Radwegen and Infrastructure. With the Hopfenschleife, the Salzschleife and the Kunstschleife, tourist activities can deviate from the routes that go together with various routes and thematic Schwerpoints. The 2018-eingeweihten Wasser-Radlwege stretched over 1,200 kilometers.

Am Nachmittag is for me a journey to the Hotel-Schreibtisch. The combination of work and radeln in a new, unique function for my personal feeling and what a special journey is. A work that happens in the Rahmen von Workation, becomes more and more work.

If you want to use a quick marketing strategy, you can do anything: Ferienwohnungen, hotels or campsites with Internet and Arbeitsplatz mieten, Rad en Kollegen or Freunde Mitnehmen. Das Konzept hat in jedem autumn wool Zukunft. Ob man es dann Gravel-(Co)-Workation no more. dpa
