Biking South Baltic

Vereint in einem radtouristischen Produkt wird im Projekt ‚Biking South Baltic!‘ eine verbesserte Bewerbung, Verbindung und Koordinierung von natürlichen und kulturellen Ressourcen im südlichen Ostseeraum realisiert werden. Auf Basis der EuroVelo Route 10 (Ostseeküsten Route) wird dabei ein besonderer Fokus auf den Abschnitt zwischen Kopenhagen und Danzig gelegt. Projektpartner aus Polen, Deutschland und Dänemark werden in dem Projekt die Sichtbarkeit des südlichen Ostseeraumes als Radreisedestination erhöhen, den Zugang zu relevanten Informationen erleichtern und neue, innovative und umweltfreundliche Ansätze entwickeln und testen.

Das Projekt ist im Januar 2017 gestartet und fand mit dem Kick Off Meeting in Danzig mit allen Partnern statt. In gemeinsamen Kooperationen wird der Ostseeküstenradweges – EuroVelo 10 – neu analysiert und Befragungen zum Radreiseverhalten durchgeführt. Anhand dieser Datenerhebung sollen die schwächeren Regionen gestärkt und die Attraktivität des Radfernweges gestärkt werden.
