Cycling is one of the best ways to explore a region: slower than a car, faster than walking, and close enough to the landscape to really enjoy every village, river, canal, forest path and greenway along the way.

Across Europe, many cycling networks help riders travel more safely and more comfortably: EuroVelo routes, RAVeL paths, node-point networks, signposted cycling routes and local cycling itineraries.

The good news is simple: these cycling networks can be displayed directly in the SityTrail app. Whether you are preparing a relaxed weekend ride, a family outing, a sporty route or a multi-day cycling trip, SityTrail helps you see where the cycling networks are and how they connect.

With SityTrail, your map becomes a practical planning tool: you can zoom out to understand the main European cycling routes, then zoom in to discover local connections, signposted routes and useful cycling paths around you.

From European routes to local cycling networks

Some cycling routes cross regions and countries. Others are more local and help you create your own route, junction by junction. This is especially useful in areas where node-point networks are widely developed, such as Flanders and the Netherlands.

By displaying cycling layers in SityTrail, you can quickly understand how major routes connect with local networks, where signposted routes are available, and how to build a ride that matches your own pace and interests.

When you can see the cycling networks directly on the map, it becomes easier to compare options, avoid improvising too much, and choose a route that feels more natural. You can identify long-distance routes, local connections, greenways, RAVeL paths and node-point networks more easily.

This is useful for beginners who want a simple and reassuring way to ride, but also for experienced cyclists who like to prepare longer routes with a clear view of the terrain and the available networks.
