The Central European continental climate
consists of long, hot summers and
cold,
snowy
winters. The best time for cycling
tours is between April and October.
In the
summer months it can get quite hot.

the
mountain
tours at this time. May June and

are when most people go for their
holidays. Generally July and August are
the busiest

mention this with regard to seeing cultural monuments and
UNESCO
protected
areas with greater ease and with less people
around.
