Tour-de-Natur

The "Tour de Natur" is a colourful spectrum with all the joys of life and it relies on the commitment of many people.
We need places to stay; we want to support local ecological initiatives against motorways and we want to promote them through our efficient public relations.
We want to enjoy nature and help to protect it; we will visit organic farmers; we support traffic planning that works towards a modern railway system for freight and people, and that covers the rural regions too.
We will discuss new models of a future labour market with the people on our route (some of them still believe, only motorways will create more jobs, even though scientific research shows that this is not true at all, but motorway projects are a waste of public money).
Of course, we will have many fun activities such as our street theatre, dancing, music, juggling and lots more.
We expect to experience again the unique solidarity and community spirit among the participants.

You are cordially invited to help us organise the Tour de Natur 2005!

NEW: The leaflet Tour-de-Natur- 2007
can be found in the Flyer archive (for now, only in German language).

....&....
The 'Tour de Natur' is twinned with the Belgian 'Dynamobile' tour!

Both tours are very similar. The two rides will complement each other marvellously.
In 2003, for the first time, it was possible to ride with both tours and we hope it will be possible again in 2004. There will (hopefully) be a transfer from the end of Dynamobile to Bayreuth (start of the Tour de Natur) and we would be pleased if many participants would use this cross-country and cross-language opportunity to get to know and understand your European neighbours better and to build personal friendships.
For further details on Dynamobile see their website www.dynamobile.net
