Kubin - Border Serbia/Romania - Cozla

Today it was very windy so I made only slow progress. After the border in Romania I had first to climb a hill, where I first ate a muesli on top to avoid dehydration until the next supermarket, because I had lost my water bottle on the way. Here I also met the next two cycling tourists.

The route continued along the banks of the Danube River, which transformed from a swampy landscape into the breathtaking Iron Gate Reservoir. As I navigated this scenic area, the mosquitoes that had plagued me earlier disappeared. However, finding a suitable spot to sleep proved difficult, as fishermen occupied most of the area and the escarpment offered limited options. Therefore, I chose to camp directly on the water's edge again, where I was treated to an enchanting display of flashing glowworms in the darkness.

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.

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.
