„Ich bin dann mal weg“ planlos-reisen

The day today has once again done everything to make saying goodbye to this tour difficult for me. Started this morning in Kulmbach. Driven on beautiful country roads, through...

Daniela cleared her guest room while I had half dried my tent and packed up my things. She had moved into a room to get her tent dry and then pack it up dry as well. After...

Yesterday there was another boat trip. Since 1910, only electrically powered ships have been operating on Lake Königssee. Every 15 minutes, one of these steamers sets off and...

Today just a short tour. The destination was the Königsee, about 90 km away from Obertauern. I started after a good breakfast (thank God the company mentioned yesterday was...

Once again, just like in Istanbul, you only realize the beauty of a city when you venture off the beaten path. When you're on foot, you're usually limited and focused on tourist...

Today just a very short tour of 140 km. It rained buckets all night. It's quite loud in a tent. Around 05:00 am, the rain eased a bit, but then 2 roosters started a crowing...

After a good breakfast, I didn't start so early today. Today it shouldn't get so warm, and it wasn't. The temperatures ranged between 22 and 26 degrees, ideal for motorcycling....

The Sava

I'm actually not much of an early riser. But the thought of riding a motorcycle without sweating was just too tempting. It was quite foggy at the start, in our region that's...

Today, besides taking a walk, I did absolutely nothing, just enjoyed the air conditioning, so there's nothing to report 🤷🏻 'And then one must also have time to sit around...

Yes, what can I say, today I crossed another border😀, this time to Serbia. But let's start from the beginning. Started this morning. At first, a nice winding mountain road, the...

Last night it actually rained a little, I should have taken off my seat bench sheepskin better😬. But luckily, the motorcycle pants are waterproof, so no problem. On today's...

I started very early again. I was on the bike shortly after 6 o'clock. At 18 degrees, I was a bit cold, especially since I had swapped my motorcycle pants for my motorcycle...

The obligatory coffee break

The last kilometers through Romania were again characterized by flat landscape and huge fields. There was still one city on the way to the border. Galati, I didn't make it to...

Started off promising this morning. After a few kilometers, my navigation system told me to turn onto the dirt road, which I did. At first, it was a well-maintained gravel road...

Well, the day started off so well. I cycled almost 60 kilometers through the Bulgarian forest from the start. Only one village in 60 Km. The road started off quite bumpy but got...

This morning I left very early, got up at 05:00 local time and was ready to leave at 07:00. It was going to be another very hot day, that's why I left so early. I decided to...

Well, today it was time to say goodbye to Istanbul. Checked out of the hotel room, packed up the motorcycle, and off I went into the 'horrible traffic'. But it wasn't so bad...

Today morning I made my way to Asia. But first I stopped by the hostel where I had gotten excellent coffee yesterday. The landlady had recommended the apple tea to me, which I...

Fourth day in Istanbul and still overwhelmed by this city. Today I took the day easy. I first went to a café, right in the neighborhood of my hotel. There was a traditional...

Hustle and bustle

First day in Istanbul. Crazy this 15 million city. Today I walked along the Bosphorus to the ferry docks. Once I arrived there, I booked a 90-minute boat tour. It's just...

Oh man, today was a chaotic day. I left the campsite early to take advantage of the morning freshness. My navigation system predicted a long traffic jam at the Bulgarian/Turkish...

Today was a pretty relaxed day, although the stage took over 330 km. And with the road conditions here, that's a lot. I accidentally hit two big potholes. The tires and rims are...

Coffee break in Sofia

Man, slept so badly. Next to my room was the kitchen's exhaust fan. The cook apparently forgot to turn it off yesterday. It was turned off this morning. Too late 😖 Slept...

Man, what was I angry 😡 yesterday and even this morning! For a €9 room you have to put up with a lot. Except for a bed, there was no other furniture. Or the mirror in the...

Today a short tour. After starting, I quickly realized that motorcycling is not my thing today, although the routes were great again. I also had to wash laundry and it still...

Starting in Pluzine, we immediately went up a very narrow road with hairpin turns and tunnels. It climbed from about 600 m to almost 2000 m in altitude. When we reached the top,...
