The Donauradweg, a 190 km stretch of the Euroveloroute 6 (which runs from the Atlantic Ocean to the Black Sea) is one of Germany’s most popular and allegedly most beautiful bike paths. And now the Baden-Württemberg Tourism and Marketing Group has installed a unique bicycle tracking system, which registers how many cyclists are using the path, 24 hours a day.

The data—which includes not only the number of bicycles, but also the portion of the path in use and the direction of the cyclist—is collected on computers and evaluated to improve management and investment decisions. In the system’s first 11 days, data from 3560 cyclists was recorded.
