EuroVelo is the European network of long-distance cycle routes that cross and connect the whole continent. The development of EuroVelo will lead to safe, direct, coherent and connected cycling infrastructure and cycle route networks that will benefit all categories of cyclists. The network is developed and coordinated by the European Cyclists’ Federation (ECF), as one of its core brands and activities, in cooperation with a network of National EuroVelo Coordination Centres and Coordinators.
Lithuania does not have a National EuroVelo Coordination Centre at the moment but the Lithuanian Cyclists' Community is a national contact point in the meantime.
Our vision for EuroVelo is for a fully developed and high-quality European cycle route network, which is well-connected to national, regional and local cycle route networks and other sustainable modes of transport, driving further increases in everyday cycling and cycling tourism, in line with ECF’s vision to improve and increase cycling across the whole of Europe.
Our mission is to promote the further development of a sustainable, strong and well-connected European cycle route network, which:
- Acts as an accelerator to increase cycling;
- Drives change in European and national policies and practice;
- Benefits all categories of cyclists, including everyday cyclists, cycling tourists and leisure cyclists;
- Fosters sustainable tourism.
In the next decade, the main focus of EuroVelo network development will be on quality improvement, not on increasing the length of the network. We have tried to show on the interactive maps the current conditions that you are likely to experience when out and about.
