Kempten cycles: photo competition and big bike tour are waiting for you!

Kempten, Deutschland - Kempten heads for the highlight of the year! From 25. June to July 15, 2025 it says again "city cycling" in the Allgäu. For the 14th time, the city of Kempten and the district of Oberallgäu proudly take part in this unique campaign of the climate alliance, which is intended to encourage people to live more environmentally conscious and to use the bike as a practical means of transportation in everyday life. Cycling is not only healthy, but also protects our environment and saves us the eternal car park!

Climate protection management called up all the bike enthusiasts to take part in this initiative, regardless of whether you are a occasional cyclist or use the bike every day. This year, too, the event relies on creative ideas: The photo competition is new under the motto "over the handlebar-the world from a bicycle perspective". Here participants can send their best bike view photos and to the main prize, a high-quality cube mountain bike. The best recordings are selected by a jury and the winning picture will be announced later.

environmentally friendly locomotion with style

A special highlight as part of the city bike is the guided bike tour on 29. June 2025 leads to the picturesque Ostrachtal and to Hinterstein. This tour, organized by climate protection management Kempten and Oberallgäu as well as the eco-model region, invites all cyclists to discover nature from a new perspective. However, only a limited number of places is available, so early registration is advisable.

Another exciting aspect is that trees are planted for each number of kilometers covered. This is supported by a donation from the Sparkasse Allgäu and the mountain forest project. Each cycled route not only ensures fresh air and movement, but also actively contributes to climate protection. Every year the number of participants and thus also awareness of the advantage of cycling and the need for a better cycling infrastructure in Germany.

A photo competition is also organized in Holzminden as part of the city cycling, in which atmospheric and funny pictures of cyclists can be stored. The winner receives a 100 euro voucher, which certainly stimulates creative competition. Here it is important not only to do sports, but also to capture the beauty of everyday life from the bicycle view.

summarized: Cycling not only promotes health, it brings people together, combines the communities and sets a strong sign for climate protection. City cycles are an excellent example of how you can take small steps for a sustainable future in everyday life. So swing on the saddles and take part!
