Accelerating the Speed in Energy Transition through Innovative Wheels
The "Energiewende erFAHREN 2025" bike tour is set to take place from August 31 to September 6, 2025, traversing Germany from the Münsterland region to Berlin. Organized by the Landesverband Erneuerbare Energien NRW (LEE NRW), this nationally recognized action aims to promote the acceleration of the energy transition ("Energiewende") while showcasing innovative renewable energy projects[1][3].
The tour will start in Heek, western Münsterland, with NRW's Minister of Transport, Oliver Krischer, giving the official starting signal. Over 100 participants are expected to join this year's tour[1]. As the cyclists make their way eastwards towards Berlin, they will pass through Lower Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, and Brandenburg, stopping at various locations for events and discussions[1][3].
The "Golden Book of the Energy Transition" is a significant part of the tour. This symbolic book serves as a record of the tour's experiences and aspirations, containing impressions, ideas, and political demands from visited locations[1]. The book will be filled during the bike tour, and at the end, it will be presented to parliamentarians in Berlin[1].
The "Golden Book of the Energy Transition" is a tradition of the bike tour, reflecting its focus on innovation and engagement. Participants will engage with operators, political decision-makers, and citizens, learning about and promoting renewable energy and climate action[1].
For more regional context, nearby renewable energy events like the "10th Energiewoche on Pellworm" (August 25–29, just before the bike tour) highlight grassroots energy transition initiatives, reflecting the broader national momentum the bike tour is part of[2].
While the exact route and day-by-day itinerary are not yet fully disclosed, the tour is known to move from Münsterland heading eastwards towards Berlin, making stops for events and discussions along the way[1][3]. For more specific route details or stopovers, the organizing groups' official pages or local press releases would be the next best sources closer to or during the event dates.
