Spectrum: Just in time for the summer holidays in Bavaria, the Bavarian Ministry of Transport has launched the new app "Cycle Route Planner Bavaria". This replaces the previous app "Bayernnetz für Radler 2020" and offers razor-sharp details thanks to the latest map technology. Equipped with an intelligent search function, cyclists can access a network of cycle paths with more than 50.000 kilometers.
The new "Bavarian Cycle Route Planner" is designed to make everything easier. To make planning cycle routes easier for both leisure and everyday use, the ministry has thoroughly revised the existing offering. The result is a new app with many improvements. 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 leisure time or on everyday trips: with the Bavarian Cycle Route Planner, cyclists can reach their destination safely and reliably."
"Strengthening cycling is a key focus of Bavarian mobility policy. However, getting people to switch to cycling requires not only apps, but above all a modern and safe cycling infrastructure. Therefore, we are intensifying the construction of cycle paths under state responsibility and providing even better support to our municipalities. Together with the municipalities, we want to build further 1.500 km of new cycle paths," Bernreiter continued. The Free State of Bavaria invests 40 to 50 million euros annually in the construction of cycle paths along federal and state roads. It also supports municipalities in planning and construction through proven funding programs with high subsidies. Many measures, one goal: to promote cycling, especially in everyday life.
