About the initiative:

Tour de Tripoint is a unique cycling tour that, on May 10, will take riders through three countries – Poland, the Czech Republic, and Germany – offering an unforgettable route full of scenic landscapes and cultural experiences.

This year’s ride starts in Bogatynia and leads through Zittau (Germany) and Hrádek nad Nisou (Czech Republic). The route crosses a variety of terrains – from green valleys and forest paths to small towns rich in history and the influence of three neighboring nations.
We believe that cycling is, first and foremost, about joy, which is why Tour de Tripoint is open to everyone. Participants can choose between two distances: 50 km or 80 km. The routes are designed for both amateur and experienced cyclists. Along the way, refreshment zones with local snacks will offer the perfect moment to rest and discover regional cuisine.

Young cyclists eager for competition can enjoy a children’s race at the stadium in Bogatynia – a friendly and safe environment for some sporty fun.

Participants will receive starter packs with event gadgets, a professionally prepared route, and full organizational support – everything to ensure comfort and safety throughout the ride.

Tour de Tripoint is more than just a sporting event – it’s a journey through three unique cultures coming together on one path. Dozens of kilometers filled with impressions, local flavors, and inspiring encounters. The initiative promotes European unity, cross-border cooperation, and encourages exploration of the region on two wheels.

Full regulations and more details are available at the official website and on Tour de Tripoint’s social media.
