Regensburg - Passau

In the morning, we had to buy new spare tubes before we could visit the Walhalla and then continue on a perfect cycle path to Passau. Unfortunately, it often runs along main roads or the motorway. As it rained quite heavily, we barely took any breaks except at the Walhalla.

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.
