Without breakfast, we set off for Lucerne. There, we actually waited about five minutes (it felt like half an hour) to take a photo with the Chapel Bridge, which wasn't really worth it. After catching up on breakfast and buying more sunscreen, we continued on toward Entlebuch. Unfortunately, it wasn

After breakfast, we pedaled lightly to Sargans, our first stop. We soon realized that we had left beautiful Graubünden (and its dialect) behind us and were now in the canton of St. Gallen. We followed the water toward Netstal and continued up to Lake Klöntal for a well-deserved lunch.
Refreshed, we tackled

Moritz and I set off in Austria this morning in perfect weather. We rolled along quiet gravel roads through beautiful forests – unfortunately, not for very long. After about 30 kilometers, my rear tire was completely worn out. Unfortunately, there were no replacement tires in the region that were the

And we're done! We took it easy this morning and set off late. The road led us directly from the guesthouse into the uninhabited expanse of the Highlands. Following the same and only road, we drove into nowhere and were suddenly able to fortify ourselves with an espresso and a toastie. Somewhere along

Today we would have preferred to stay in bed, so we left a little later. The traffic on the A9, which was the main route we were dealing with today, was immense, so we quickly changed our plans at the breakfast stop. The route took us through Swiss countryside and finally, by ferry, to the oil industry

Today we covered fewer kilometers, but some of them felt three times as difficult due to the strong headwind. With music in our ears, we battled onward and over the loose ground. The espresso stop at the end of Loch Lochy was much needed and helpful. So we flew along Loch Oich and only stopped again

With full stomachs, we set off cycling past the impressive Loch Awe and its surrounding hills. After an espresso break and a short path, we followed a section of the main road that was closed shortly after us due to a serious accident... The rest of our route along the Caledonian Way became somewhat

Once again, we got up early and scared the bunnies away in the small park to catch the first ferry to Arran. The small island seems to be a popular Saturday destination—and rightly so! After the climb in the already blazing sun, we relaxed with a Dram of Arran and then, unfortunately without a sandwich

We've completed the longest stretch of the tour. We set off very early without a big breakfast and flew towards Scotland with a crosswind to a tailwind. We had a brief break due to the many broken glass, but a worm quickly patched Stephan's tire. We reached Scotland unnoticed and were greeted by bright

The original plan, for Moritz to only accompany me to Lausanne due to time constraints, and for me to finish the tour on Wednesday alone, felt wrong after the past three days. So, before dinner, I suggested to Moritz that we could ride directly to the border stone in one day. Maybe it was the wine, but
