It is no competition but an event for people who prefer healthy sport and the community spirit with fellow cyclists.
Every evening an open-air concert with disco takes place on the local fairground, mostly with well-known international bands.
The cyclists stay overnight in sports halls on mattresses that were borrowed from the police or army.
The tour is supported by the "Allgemeiner Deutscher Fahrrad-Club" (ADFC), a German association of hobby cyclists.
"Adelholzener Alpenquellen", a supplier of mineral water, sponsors the drinks for the cyclists.
