Tandem-/Fahrradtour Europa

Petra: It's been a whole week now and we're here in Friedrichroda at the mountain hotel for some rest and now we can write the final lines about the tour. On Saturday we took...

Petra: Today was the last day of cycling, there won't be much tomorrow and the day after. After sorting out our bones this morning, we started in drizzling rain. We were lucky...

Uwe: Today, the route took us further through the Frisian countryside with widely scattered villages and small farms. We rode on smaller country roads and well-developed bike...

Petra: In my opinion, there are three plagues for the cyclist: heat, strong wind with gusts (of course from the front), and rain. We didn't have heat today. Well, we're nearing...

Uwe: Our route today took us through Groningen and through the Frisian countryside. From Groningen we followed the Ems Canal for a stretch and then followed the 'Slochterdiep',...

Uwe: Today 'I' am allowed to write something. We have already left the North Sea Cycle Route, which was opened as EuroVelo 12 in May 2001. Now we are once again riding our own...

Uwe: Rest day in Franeker. 06/25/2017 Total statistics: Total distance traveled: 3,101.91 km Total riding time: 207:41:43 h Average speed: 14.9 km/h Total elevation gain:...

Petra: This morning we had breakfast delivered with a picnic basket and then started in full rain gear. We had about 4km to the final dike between the Wadden Sea and the...

Petra: After a restful night (it had cooled down), and a lovingly prepared breakfast, we started again and fortunately had mostly tailwind, which was quite strong. At the...

Petra: After a hearty breakfast on a very sunny balcony, we rode through many forested areas today. So we had plenty of shade. In the late afternoon, we treated ourselves to a...

Petra: Now we are at the North Sea and what you see the most are dunes and dunes and sometimes water. So the 'program' wasn't very varied today. This morning we were still at...

Petra: Today was quite eventful, both in terms of the route and the weather. It was warm again, but also cloudy with some wind. First, we cycled through a rural area and then...

Petra: The word that best describes today is: Too hot! Holland is definitely a beautiful country, a paradise for cyclists, but unfortunately there are not many trees along the...

Petra: Today was a particularly nice rest day. It would have been a perfect 10 if Uwe hadn't forgotten to turn off the alarm. We could have slept in. After a leisurely breakfast...

Uwe: The first 30 km we were moving on the Eurocycle Route 15, which follows a Rhine arm. But it doesn't always run directly along the river. So we also went through meadows...

Petra: Today we were tested by whoever. If there was a scale from 0-10, with 10 being wonderful and 0 being shitty, I would give today a 1-2, it could have rained after all. We...

Petra: Today we had breakfast at the bakery and then we started. The humid heat was bothersome and the relieving thunderstorm passed us in the afternoon. Today, I liked the many...

Petra: Today something very, very sad happened, my very first and beloved MP3 player has left me. Actually, I separated from him, but not because he was already 10 years old and...

Petra: Quick addition to yesterday: The night wasn't as bad as expected. The hormonally overactive teenagers eventually quieted down and we fell asleep with the help of an...

Petra: Day of the wind: Actually, wind is not bad, especially when it's warm, but headwind is annoying. Today was our first day back on the Rhine. Everything is a bit bigger...

Uwe: Rest day in Koblenz. We visited the 'Deutsches Eck', took the cable car across the Rhine to Ehrenbreitstein Fortress, and rested for a bit. 11-06-2017 Total statistics: ...

Petra: Today we have been on the road very frequently, but I am still fascinated by the delightful landscape, the mountains, planted with wine of course, and the river winding...

Petra: After a wonderful breakfast, we started a day with a negative weather forecast. It didn't turn out to be that bad, we got showered twice, but we were also able to take...

Petra: Today was simply a beautiful day: beautiful route, good weather, delicious food and a cute accommodation. However, it could have been even better if we had gotten the...

Petra: Quote of the day: Showering without getting wet; put on rain gear, take off rain gear. Uwe didn't participate much, meaning he only put on and took off the rain gear...

Petra: Today, the weather god took a wellness day off and assigned the apprentice to take care of the weather. Well, he thought, let's take everything I have in terms of...

The Meurthe in Nancy

Petra: Just like yesterday, today we were in the city with Steffi and Matthias. In the morning, the men took care of the construction and modification of the vehicles and then...

Petra: "I'll be back" At least I'm currently with Uwe, still on low medication, but feeling sufficiently healthy. More now from Uwe. Uwe: The day started today, since it's the...

Since thunderstorms were forecasted for this afternoon, I left as early as possible and took as few longer breaks as possible. Once again, I neglected the check-in time. The...
