European Peace Ride

The initiators of the European Peace Ride have set themselves the goal of working together with many partners in Poland and the Czech Republic to develop a project with European relevance that connects people, creates encounters, reflects the history of the border regions and at the same time provides forward-looking impetus. The European Peace Ride is part of the main programme of the European Capital of Culture Chemnitz 2025.
