Donauradweg: Klížska Nemá - Budapest
Klížska Nemá - Border Slovakia/Hungary - Esztergom - Szentendre - Budapest
The last 20 km in Slovakia on a deep gravel road were very exhausting to cycle, and at the end of Slovakia, the road was also closed without warning due to a construction site. I had to push my bike 1 km through a field and continue on the main road.
In Hungary, I continued on the road. The cathedral in Esztergom was definitely worth seeing. Unfortunately, several welds on my front carrier broke on Esztergom's cobblestone pavement, so I had to improvise.
Afterwards, I cycled over hills through a national park to Szentendre instead of continuing on the road next to the river. Unfortunately, there were again many cobblestones in Szentendre's old town, and my rear carrier's suspension also broke. The subsequent cycling path's surroundings along the river to Budapest were very nice, but I couldn't enjoy them because I had to cycle carefully and concentrate due to its many potholes and unevenness, making it better suited for mountain bikes.
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.
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): Cheplung - Namche Bazar
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.
