Donauradweg: Bregovo - Mizia
Bregovo - Vidin - Mizia
This morning, I was awakened by a farmer who cultivated his field. Unfortunately, the day started off rough, likely due to yesterday's meat croissants, which left me with severe flatulence and diarrhea. My stomach was bloated, and I could only ride in discomfort for the first part of the journey, having to make frequent stops to use the toilet. Despite these setbacks, I met two more cyclists along the way.
By evening, I was completely drained and decided to spend the night in Bulgaria, postponing my ferry crossing until the next day. I set up camp in a meadow. That night, under the full moon, I had the pleasure of watching fireflies again, just like I had at the Iron Gate reservoir. During my journey I couldn't get into meaningful conversations with Bulgarians. I just met kids asking for money.
Donauradweg: Machland - Wien
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.
Transalp 2013
Diese Etappe führt von Trafoi aus auf einer Passstraße mit unzähligen Spitzkehren hinauf auf das 1000 Meter höher gelegene Stilfser Joch.
Von dort geht es über den Umbrailpass weiter auf den Bocchetta di Forcola, dem mit 2768m, höchsten Punkt unserer Tour. Die Abfahrt vom Bocchetta di Pendolo mündet von einem wunderschönen, sich in das Tal schlängelnden, Trail in einen Schotterabhang mit recht grobem Schotter, bis man letztendlich in Bormiò ankommt.
Das Etappenziel Santa Caterina Valfurva erreichten wir am Spätnachmittag und somit hatten wir die am Vortag verloren gegangene Zeit wieder aufgeholt.
