Impact Show Case: Transnationaler Fernradweg

and also to open up economic prospects for the structurally weak border regions along these rivers. This extraordinary long-distance bike trail project connects 15 project partners from the five countries Austria, Slovenia, Hungary, Croatia and Serbia within the framework of the INTERREG Danube Transnational Programme (DTP). On the initiative of the Trail Angels, who as official project partner have assumed responsibility in this project from the very beginning, the Amazon of Europe Bike Trail was set up as a sustainable, transnational business model beyond the construction of the bike routes. In addition to product development, this also includes the establishment and training of a transnational information and booking centre in the region and the integration of a nature conservation programme by the project partner WWF.
 
We, the Trail Angels, have decided to take responsibility for this INTERREG project (Danube Transnational Programme) as an official project partner and Work Package Leader. Also in order to contribute our expertise to the design of a long-term and sustainable business model, in addition to a product development for individual, international bike travellers. Thus, in the region and in close coordination with our partners, our own official Amazon of Europe Bike Trail Booking Centre was set up. Under our management with the Amazon of Europe Academy, its employees and involved regional service providers, were prepared for future booking management. This has created the conditions for the Amazon of Europe Bike Trail to be managed independently, sustainably and professionally in the long term and to trigger a noticeable impulse in the regions.
