Germany calling
Fuelled by a desire to discover Germany and connect with history, this Summer trip to Lübeck promised more than just miles on the saddle. It was a quest for cultural immersion and historical connection.
Navigating Challenges
One of the most significant hurdles encountered during the trip was the route planning, how many times did I scrap and change it before I felt happy and even as we left I was unsure but optimistic. I wanted to ensure a balance between scenic beauty, historical landmarks and interesting terrain with manageable daily distances. With tips and tricks from friends and the internet, various websites and Komoot I thought I had it in the hat.
For the love of touring
This adventure is ideally suited for the avid tourist and bike packers of all ages and fitness . To those contemplating a similar journey, it's recommended to equip yourself with maps, Komoot and google maps are good starting points, a reliable GPS, we used my Garmin as well as google maps on our phones when things got confusing or needed quick tweeking , a flexible itinerary to accommodate unexpected detours, which there might be plenty of, after all it is an adventure.
