German Cycling Network

The German Cycling Network (German: Radnetz Deutschland) is the national cycling route network of Germany. There are currently 12 such long-distance cycling routes, called D-Routes (the "D" stands for "Deutschland’" i.e. Germany) criss-crossing the German nation and these were established mainly to promote bicycle tourism.

Signposting for D-Routes 7 and 8, near Cologne.

Part of the German Nationaler Radverkehrsplan (National Cycling Plan), the project to establish the German Cycling Network ran over a 10 year period, from 2002 to 2012.

Future expansion

In the summer of 2012, in the Nationale Radverkehrsplan 2020 (National Cycling Plan 2020), it was decided that the German sections of the Iron Curtain Trail (which is also cycling route, known as EuroVelo 13) would be included as part of the German Cycling Network. Other than this there are currently no further plans for expansion.

gollark: It sounds halting problem equivalent.
gollark: How?
gollark: It can only occur in unsafe blocks. You could add those (or some pragma or something) to your borrow checker, although based on my limited C observation, hard to check constructs are much more common in it.
gollark: C also has weaker types and requires you to pass (pointer, size) to lots of things, which is also hard to check although *maybe* doable.
gollark: You could detect it, you couldn't verify correctness.
