Donauradweg: Belgrad - Kubin
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.
Donauradweg: Tuttlingen - Ulm
Mühlheim an der Donau (Tuttlingen) - Kloster Beuron - Sigmaringen - Blaubeuren - Altmühltal - Ulm
A beautiful scenic gravel road to Sigmaringen. Before reaching Ulm, we cycled over the Blautopf and the Altmühltal.
Transalp 2013
Der Aufstieg durch die Val d'Uina Schlucht verläuft auf einem schönen in den Fels geschlagenen Weg mit mehreren Tunnel. Von diesem aus hat man einen herrlichen Ausblick auf die Schlucht. Vom Schlinigpass geht es auf Schotterwegen hinunter ins Tal.
Auf dem weiteren Weg wurden wir von mehreren kurzen, aber heftigen Regenschauern unterbrochen, welche am Spätnachmittag in einem Gewitter endeten. Daher konnten wir Trafoi nicht mehr erreichen und mussten die Nacht im Biwak bei Regen verbringen.
Everest Basecamp Trek (EBC): Tengboche - Pangboche
The trek from Tengboche to Pangboche was a delightful journey through picturesque landscapes.
Upon reaching Pangboche, we visited the ancient monastery, which is one of the oldest in the region.
