Danube Delta - Constanța

By the time I set off in the morning, I had already left behind the most picturesque sections of the Danube Delta. Only a few remaining birds (storks, great crested grebes, and pelicans) were and a turtle were visible. The route to Constanța was long and hilly once again. As I approached the harbor and industrial zones leading into Constanța, I was met with a fierce headwind, which slowed my progress. I finally reached my destination, the beach at the Black Sea, later in the evening.

Return options

• Train: Only folding bikes are allowed onboard.
• Bus:
  • Flixbus: No guarantee of space for bikes.
  • Atlassib: Allows up to 70kg of luggage, with a max of 20kg per item. I had to remove the front wheel and wrap the bike in box using 80 meters of plastic wrap.

My favorite dishes on the tour:

• Warm gorgonzola cheese on bread.
• Spaghetti with tomato paste and anchovies or tuna.
• Spaghetti with pesto and olives.

Ciocănești - Viziru

I might have overdone it with breakfast and lunch today—0.5kg of muesli, 0.5 liters of milk, and two bananas left me feeling quite bloated. After that, I could barely bend over due to my swollen stomach!

The landscape became increasingly picturesque after passing Călărași, with more horses appearing along the roadside, adding to the charm of the journey. In the evening, I got lucky when a rain front could not reach me. To top it off, I met some very hospitable Romanians who kindly invited me into their home. Although they only spoke Romanian, we managed to communicate using the iTranslate app.

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.

The trek to Namche Bazar featured numerous suspension bridges and a strenuous climb at the end. Upon reaching our destination, we took a well-deserved acclimatization day to adjust to the altitude and prepare for the journey ahead.
