Danube Delta - Constanța

By the time I set off in the morning, I had already left behind the most picturesque sections of the Danube Delta. Only a few remaining birds (storks, great crested grebes, and pelicans) were and a turtle were visible. The route to Constanța was long and hilly once again. As I approached the harbor and industrial zones leading into Constanța, I was met with a fierce headwind, which slowed my progress. I finally reached my destination, the beach at the Black Sea, later in the evening.

Return options

• Train: Only folding bikes are allowed onboard.
• Bus:
  • Flixbus: No guarantee of space for bikes.
  • Atlassib: Allows up to 70kg of luggage, with a max of 20kg per item. I had to remove the front wheel and wrap the bike in box using 80 meters of plastic wrap.

My favorite dishes on the tour:

• Warm gorgonzola cheese on bread.
• Spaghetti with tomato paste and anchovies or tuna.
• Spaghetti with pesto and olives.

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.

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.

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.
