On to the final act!

After a restful night in a small holiday apartment in Valtura, I first follow the Eurovelo 8 to Labin. Today's route is entirely on roads. The main road in particular is a challenge with its high volume of traffic. Under the scorching sun, every climb is difficult for me. This increases

The destination of my journey is getting closer and closer. Today, after a nice descent, I went up a steep climb from Klostar. The problem: I left the Eurovelo 8 and found myself on blocked mountain bike trails. In many places today, only hike & bike helped. On the road, it was too stressful for me because

Let's go to Croatia!

In the morning I start my journey from my campsite in Isola to the Croatian border. I'm an alien in this very touristy region. Most of my things are completely dirty or sweaty, and I'm covered in small cuts, stings and other injuries. Somehow I don't feel particularly comfortable

Short trip from Slovenia to Italy and back again. On this day of travel, there were again a few meters of elevation on the agenda. However, the change in the landscape from hilly mountain panorama to Mediterranean ambience inspired me, so that the kilometers simply flew by. In Slovenia, we went through

I'm starting to need a second wind. I still have to get used to the heat somehow.

In the morning, it was still a relaxed ride. Towards Kranj and Ljubljana. After I had passed the Slovenian capital, I drove onto a plain. Fields dominated the landscape, there was no shade. That was very demanding. Which

The day started off rather badly today. The front wheel was flat, so I quickly changed the tire and then the front brake started dragging. Well, that was quickly solved with help from the friendly mechanic around the corner. Then I made a short stop in Travisio in Italy under the burning sun before turning

Today, just take it easy. The route leads from Lassach along the Möll to where it flows into the Drau. From there, it is also a relaxed ride via Spittal an der Drau to Villach. This is a hotspot for Alpe Adria travelers. The campsites in the area are bustling. Tomorrow, we will continue on to Slovenia.

Crusher! The alarm went off at 4 a.m. because the weather conditions were ideal for taking the Großglocker High Alpine Road.

I knew that I would be faced with a 24 km climb and 1700 meters of elevation on the first, extremely long ramp.



I wanted to take on that.

I cursed, cheered, cried briefly, got really

After a rest day on Sunday (on which it only rained and I could hardly leave the tent), we continued towards the Alps. In the morning the sky was grey, all my things were wet and I was not motivated either.



That changed suddenly when I saw the Berchtesgaden Alps in front of me.

First I scurried along

New on the list of things that make my life difficult: heat.



It was already clear in the morning that today would be incredibly warm. Compared to the previous days, summer seemed to want to show that it was here again this year.



First stop in Braunau am Inn. Beautiful little town, but it has also produced
