Medjugorje 2019

After 1692 km by bike, 140 km by train, 1800 km by car (return journey), wonderful and gracious experiences along the way, we have arrived home safe and sound. A big thank you...

On the first day of the return journey, we made a stop in Split: the old town, the Diocletian's Palace, we were the only tourists (😂), prices for coffee or ice cream that you...

Today's program: after attending the German Mass, we climbed the Apparition Hill together, went swimming at the Kravica Waterfalls (even though the water wasn't that warm), and...

Our pick-up team (Alfons and Martin) arrived last night. This morning we climbed Kreuzberg. After enjoying very warm summer weather in the past weeks, a heavy thunderstorm...

This is not intended to be a showcase of achievements, but rather to provide interested parties with guidance for possible plans: Total distance by bike: 1692km In addition:...

The internet offers a lot of information about Medjugorje at www.medjugorje.hr (also in German). Medjugorje is different: the apparitions of the Virgin Mary are still ongoing...

Done! After 1692km of biking (+approx. 140km by train), we have arrived in Medjugorje - thank God! The last day had it all: breathtaking nature, a road to nowhere (for the first...

The last day on the Adriatic! So enjoy it to the fullest - in Brela with a beautiful beach and lots of trees. On the way to Makarska, Vepric appears, a Croatian pilgrimage site...

Today's day led us back to the Adriatic Sea through the hills. There was also a pass of the highest category, meaning: 1st gear, just before the urge to stop and felt like it...

As announced, today we visited Krka National Park and took the opportunity to rest. After the heat and exertion of the past days, this was quite helpful. The exhaustion can be...

Where are you going? Medjugorje? Where is that? Okay, our reputation is probably, let's say, special when it comes to 'the religious'. So why Medjugorje? We were there for the...

Ok, Skradin is not directly on the way; we make a detour to the highly advertised Krka National Park (http://www.npkrka.hr/), which prepares us for about 35km detour and 300...

We have never experienced a worse campsite than the one last night. Sv. Duh (That's the name of the place where the campsite is located) welcomed us with a drunken man in the...

No, not the Golan Heights in Israel, but the Sv. Duh campsite in Kolan on the island of Pag is the destination of today's stage. And what a place: pure purism - right by the...

After we stumbled upon a good and affordable vacation apartment last night, there was only one option: we're spending our day off here. It consisted of cheating, strolling,...

Der Vortrag im Gebetshaus, den wir am 20. 6. in Augsburg besucht haben, ist nunmehr auf YouTube verfügbar: https://youtu.be/sOiAIHQSjgw Der Vortrag beginnt ca. ab 1:05:00 - wie...

How much does a car consume per hundred kilometers? 6-8 liters? Ok, fits ... also for cyclists. Because of the heat, we started today at about 7 o'clock - towards the border to...

The highlight of the heatwave? Comparisons? Maybe 100 hairdryers blowing in your face during descents. Or the feeling of being a perforated water heater: pour something in from...

Keine Sorge - gemeint ist natürlich ein rechnerischer Überschlag; wir haben incl. heute noch 9 Fahrtage geplant und noch ca. 600km vor uns - hört sich nach ein- bis zwei...

It's only downhill, but the previous days have noticeably taken a toll on us. The beautiful high alpine landscape of Triglav National Park is expanding, we are leaving the Alps...

Done, the Alps are behind us (but plenty of other mountains ahead ...). The last pass was called Wurzenpass, it was so steep (up to 18%) that we had to push for almost 2 hours....

We have arrived on the southern side of the Alps! The ascent from the Salzachtal to Böckstein near Bad Gastein (it feels like Emperor FRANZ and Sissi will come around the...

After a night of rain and thunder, we pack up the tent in the rain in the morning, it's cold. The first stretch: uphill in the rain, we are frozen on the descent and eat a hot...

We have already crossed a language barrier in the Palatinate, and today we have also left a national border (namely to Austria 😁) behind us and at the same time dived into the...

Lochhofen doesn't sound like a cosmopolitan place, and it isn't; but it does have an immaculate accommodation (Burgmayr) where we sought refuge from the rain. And in the...

On this day, we were able to experience guidance and help multiple times: both during the Corpus Christi Mass and during the lecture by Dr. Johannes Hartl at the Prayer House in...
