The bus ride from Milan to Frankfurt took a total of eleven hours. We crossed Switzerland, with additional stops in Freiburg and Mannheim, among others. I didn't get much sleep...
In the early afternoon, I took the train from Genoa to Milan, which lasted just under two hours. Since my Flixbus didn't depart until ten o'clock in the evening, I still had...
My cycling journey was finally coming to an end. Starting from the campsite in Bogliasco, I rode along the coast for 15-20 kilometers to Genoa. The traffic became heavier a few...
At the start of today's stage, I was faced with a climb of over 600 meters over 10 kilometers. With the best weather and beautiful views, the effort was bearable, and there were...
The first 40 kilometers of today's stage took me along the coastal road. My main challenge was to avoid tourists who were getting in my way on the bike path and to watch out for...
My bike journey was slowly coming to an end. Due to my stay in Rimini, I only had a few days left for cycling and wanted to use them for a small tour through Tuscany....
To go to the hilly San Marino, I made it a bit easier for myself. Most of my equipment stayed at the campsite in Rimini, and I only rode to the mini-state with light luggage in...
To make the most of my overpriced family resort, the next morning I packed my things and pushed my bike to the private beach. It was more about the principle for me, being able...
After my short stay in beautiful Verona, I had to get to Rimini within two days to annoy my future brother-in-law and his girlfriend during their vacation. That was very...
With the scorching heat, I continued on in the morning and wanted to arrive in Verona by tonight. After 35 kilometers, I arrived in Brescia and took the time to stroll through...
Today I wanted to test the capabilities of my new rear wheel. After Como, I went directly along a steep gravel path. Later, I mostly rode on relatively busy mountain roads. ...
A new plan had to be made. I didn't want to stay another night in Splügen just on a whim, who knows if the small bike shop would even have had a suitable rear wheel? And if...
Today, I would have loved to ride over the Splügen Pass. But of course, things turned out differently. After breakfast, I started early to tackle the alpine stage. At Bonaduz, I...
The next morning, the sky had cleared again and I set off towards Vaduz. I had already been here in 2017 as part of the Rheinradtour, and admittedly, apart from the Prince's...
After saying goodbye to Laura, I slowly but surely headed towards the Alps. I had to finally throw away my cycling sandals, but they had served me well overall. It was already...
There were only 60 kilometers left to drive to Allensbach on Lake Constance, where Laura was supposed to arrive by train in the afternoon. Our campsite for the next four days...
Once again on the Rhine Cycle Path, I cycled upstream towards Lake Constance. Laura spontaneously wanted to visit me there the following day. With a few meters of altitude (but...
After a small breakfast, we quickly continued on our way to avoid being discovered by any farmers. Besides, Colmar, one of the most famous cities in Alsace, was not far away....
There were still about 40 kilometers to Strasbourg. The city is always beautiful, but I've been there a few times already, so I saved myself from doing major sightseeing tours...
With fast tires, I headed towards Alsace. The navigation was unnecessary again, I could simply continue following the Rhine Cycle Path upstream. Since I spent the morning in...
On July 20th, I continued my bike trip with lighter luggage. A few winter clothes could stay at home, and the bulky winter sleeping bag was replaced by my thin summer sleeping...
Today's stage was my last in Asia for an indefinite period of time. Thanks to the good preparation the day before, it was only about 80 kilometers to the Kyrgyz capital. There...
It was more difficult than expected to organize an affordable day tour in Almaty. That's why on June 10th I headed towards Bishkek to try my luck there. It should be my longest...
On our preliminary last day together, Aman and I went to the main road and separated there in a very clichéd way, one going north, the other going south. For me, the route was...
Of course, Ruslan had to go to work the next day as well. He would have liked to keep both of us longer, but we were a bit annoyed by the wasted day and saw no prospect of...
Aman and I had decided the night before to visit the Altyn Emel National Park together. We had read on the internet that a permit is required to enter and that there are two...
I didn't leave Almaty to my host until the evening because he still had to work and it was only 30 kilometers. I was looking forward to seeing Aman again! The family also...
The next morning, I headed to the nearest gas station on the highway in search of Wi-Fi. And luckily, I was in luck! Although my phone's display had a blackout at that exact...
The next day started just like the previous one ended. It kept raining and I struggled to push my bike through the muddy field. At times, it almost got stuck like in Greece, but...
