Donauradweg: Wien - Klížska Nemá
Wien - Border Austria/Slovakia - Bratislava - Klížska Nemá
Until Bratislava, the cycle path was still perfectly developed and only alternated with a gravel path that was easy to ride on.
After a break in Bratislava to see the city, I cycled further towards the Hungarian border.
Here, only a few farms could be found. That's why I stayed by the Danube River in the evening.
Donauradweg: Baja - Novo Selo
Baja - Border Hungary/Serbia - Novo Selo
I started in Hungary in the morning. At the EU's outer border soldiers were stationed every 100m to protect it. Unfortunately, I had to realize on my tour that my air pump, which I hadn't used for years, no longer fits tightly enough on the valve and at gas stations like 4 bar are rarely available. Therefore, I used the small traffic jam at the border post to borrow an air pump from Team Nankang-Dynatek, who were waiting behind me and had come home from a competition. I inflated my bike to be able to ride more easily again (front wheel: 9 bar, back wheel: 5 bar). After passing the border, they also offered me a drink from their service vehicle. But unfortunately, I declined because I still had enough.
Shortly after that, another welding seam of my front carrier broke and one bottle was damaged by it and got a leak. So, I had to cook lunch quickly to save as much water as possible. There, I also met a 60-year-old man who also goes on larger bicycle tours sometimes.
All in all, from Serbia onwards the streets were like rag rugs. However, the landscape was very beautiful and the people were also very nice and interested. In the evening while setting up my tent, I was bitten by lots of mosquitoes, whose aggressiveness increases from
Serbia onwards.
Passo San Jorio
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.
Everest Basecamp Trek (EBC): Ama Dablam Base Camp
Our acclimatization hike brought us to Ama Dablam Base Camp, where we began to feel the effects of the thin, dry air, resulting in a scratchy throat reminiscent of a cold.
Ama Dablam is one of the most picturesque mountains in the area, its stunning peak standing majestically against the sky and captivating all who visit.
