Slovinsko - Rakousko 2011

This route is only an overall view of the guided path. The individual stages have been processed separately. There are a total of 9 stages.

It starts in the Slovenian village of Kršič and ends in the German town of Passau at the Austrian-German border. Transportation to the starting point is by car, which accompanied us throughout the journey. Meetings with the accompanying car were always at previously agreed points marked in the individual stages (a sign with a red wrench). The roads are normally passable - it’s not any stunt driving. Nights are spent in camps under tents. I must, among other things, praise both Slovenian and Austrian drivers. They are absolutely considerate of cyclists, regardless of what car they own. We even encountered instances where they were able to follow us for several hundred meters to pass us safely. No honking, no gestures. We tied our bikes together in the camps, but I dare say that even if they were left out in the open, no one would take them. But you never know. And for what type of bike is this journey intended? I intentionally write for mountain including trekking bikes. A road bike could cover quite a bit of distance, but there are passages where you would feel sorry to use that road bike.
