WWF Austria, in cooperation with EuroNatur is working on the establishment of a transboundary bike trail, the so-called "Amazon of Europe" Bike Trail, which will be realised by building on and enhancing already existing routes in Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Hungary and Serbia. Supported by Revital Integrative Environmental Planning, who developed the concept for the bike trail, the 3rd International “Amazon of Europe” Bike Trail Stakeholder Workshop of took place in Sombor, Serbia.

On the first day of the workshop consisted of a busy schedule, which included the presentation of the first draft of the implementation concept, of which also a first print version was presented. Another mayor point was the discussion of the first draft of a possible Interreg Proposal, which included some group work. Aim of the group work was to discuss 3 work packages of the draft proposal and answer questions related to these. For this, the participants formed “country groups” groups, so the participants could tackle the questions in relation to their countries.

The second day of the workshop was spent on a field trip from Sombor to Kupusina, which gave the participants the opportunity to cycle a small part of the “Amazon of Europe” Bike trail, enjoying the perfect weather. Dragana Siljanovic and her team from Ciklo COOLtura organised the route, which was quite a challenge since the trails were flooded due to heavy rainfall in the week before. Also a delicious lunch was organised by Ciklo COOLtura and it is safe to say that the workshop, including the field trip was a huge success!
