Belgrad - Kubin

Unfortunately, I could not exchange my remaining forints in Serbia and had to withdraw money. Only Euros, US dollars and sometimes Swiss francs are accepted at the exchange offices.

I started in the morning over the fort and visited the city until noon. Outside Belgrade the air was very bad due to oil refineries and at some point the road stopped and ended at a highway exit. In order not to end up as a ghost driver and to get out of the industrial area I then had to take the highway access on the other side and make my first highway kilometer until the next exit.

The road that followed was an uneven gravel road, which lead through a beautiful nature park. So I drove carefully and a little slower, because I was exhausted from the day before anyway. Today I met the first other bicycle tourists since Budapest. During the day it was very hot and dry and there were only few possibilities to fill up my water supplies. Towards evening I could observe, how the shepherds rounded up their cattle. I stayed overnight for the first time without tarp after I was of course well bitten by mosquitos again.

Today I had to clean my bike bottle more exactly, because I noticed that it starts to mold from the inside. As I get further and further east the sunset appears constantly 5-10 minutes earlier night.

Machland - Stift Melk - Tulln - Wien

For the first time, a complete day almost without rain that my shoes could dry!

I started in the Machland. From there I cycled via Melk through some wine-growing areas to Wien, where I also had one rest day to explore the city.

Langer aber gut zu fahrender Anstieg zum Passo San Jorio (Teer, Schotter).
Danach wird der Trail schmaler und bietet entlang dem Grenzgebiet von Schweiz und Italien schöne Aussichten in die umgebende Landschaft.
