    4. Tourist attractions in Central European. Countries Předmět: The Tourist Attractions in the Czech Republic and in the World Geography of Switzerland The beautiful, mountainous country of Switzerland is landlocked in south-central Europe, and remains one of the most popular travel destinations on the planet. Mountains cover 60% of Switzerland's land area, with ranges of the Alps in the south and the Jura Mountains to the north. Switzerland's highest point is Dufourspitze (Monte Rosa), in the Pennine Alps, which rises to (4,634 m). Also located within the Pennine Alps is the infamous Matterhorn whose summit is (4,478 m) high. Moving north, the Rhine River makes up much of Switzerland's border with Germany, as well as part of Lake Constance. Switzerland's two largest lakes are Lake Geneva (shared with France) and Lake Neuchatel - which is the largest lake entirely within the country's borders. The main tourist attractions in Switzerland The Matterhorn, Switzerland's iconic pointed peak is one of the highest mountains in the Alps. On the border with Italy, this legendary peak rises to 4,478 meters, and its four steep faces lie in the direction of the compass points. The first summiting in 1865 ended tragically when four climbers fell to their death during the descent. Today, thousands of experienced climbers come here each summer. One of the most popular experiences in the beautiful Bernese Oberland is the train journey to Jungfraujoch, the "Top of Europe," with an observation terrace and scientific observatory perched at 3,454 meters. The longest glacier in Europe, the Great Aletsch Glacier begins at Jungfraujoch, and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

    European Cycle Tourism: a Tool for Sustainable Regional Rural Development

    Applied Studies in Agribusiness and Commerce – APSTRACT 115 Agroinform Publishing House, Budapest SCIENTIFIC PAPERS EUROPEAN CYCLE TOURISM: A TOOL FOR SUSTAINABLE REGIONAL RURAL DEVELOPMENT Pieter Piket1*, Eke Eijgelaar1 & Paul Peeters1 1NHTV Breda University of Applied Sciences, Centre for Sustainable Tourism and Transport, Netherlands e-mails: [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected] *corresponding author Abstract: We present an economic impacts model based on direct expenditures for European cycle routes, originally designed in 2009 as part of a study commissioned by the European Parliament. At its request, the study was updated in 2012, including a refined version of our model which takes some limitations of the former model into account. Our main findings are that cycle tourists’ daily spending is comparable to that of other tourists, and that cycle tourism can contribute significantly in particular to rural economies that have not previously enjoyed mainstream tourism development. (European) cycle tourism thus proves to be useful as an (additional) tool for regional rural development. We arrived at a total estimated direct expenditures in Europe of almost €44 billion (€35 billion from day trips and €8.94 billion from overnight trips). We applied the model to the routes of EuroVelo, the European cycle route network which is currently being developed, showing their considerable economic potential of over €7 billion in direct expenditures. Furthermore, cycle tourism has a far lower negative impact on the environment (in terms of carbon dioxide emissions) than other forms of tourism. Cycle tourism is therefore a good example of a low carbon tourism product which could be developed as a major slow travel opportunity across (rural) Europe.

It can be used by long-distance cycle tourists, as well as by local people making daily journeys. More information can be found on the offical EuroVelo websites: www.eurovelo.org (for professionals working on developing the routes) and www.eurovelo.com (for people interested in cycling the routes). Signing of EuroVelo cycle routes The effective promotion of cycling tourism in Europe requires routes to be signed in a manner that can be understood by international and national users, in order to ensure the safe conduct of cyclists in traffic. It is thus essential that the signing of cycle routes is consistent and clearly recognizable. The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) in cooperation with the ECF has therefore produced a recommendation for the signing of EuroVelo routes.
