Cycling
The Trossachs & Breadalbane is famed for its mountain scenery
which provides unsurpassed opportunities for cyclists, most
especially the fittest of mountain bikers and racers, since
the mountains of Breadalbane are amongst the highest in Scotland.
The cycle track circumnavigating Loch Katrine offers glorious
scenic beauty while the Queen Elizabeth Forest Park has Britain's
largest network of off-road cycle tracks. The relatively safe,
quiet roads off the main routes also offer more leisurely family
cycling. This is particularly true around the quieter country
lanes around the Trossachs, along the shores of Loch Voil and
on the Callander to Strathyre cycle way.
