The north of Poland

A heatwave struck in the summer of 2016, so I made my holiday truly nordic: first, a trip to Norway across the polar circle and then cycling to a place where you can meet much fewer Czechs on vacation: the northeast of Poland.

Excluding business visits, I’ve never been to Brno, the second largest Czech city. Is it boring there? I set to find out – and on that occasion to look around Morava.
“Bohemian Switzerland”

A couple of pictures from a trip to the so-called Bohemian Switzerland: a ride under the legendary Říp hill, via the Terezín fortress, Litoměřice and cycle trails around the Elbe river to Hřensko, a hike among the rocks there (including the obligatory tourists target the Pravčice Gate) and back through Česká Lípa and round the Máchovo lake.

During the 2014 holidays I circled around Switzerland. The route was as follows: a night train to Basel, from there over the Jura ridges, around Lake Neuchâtel, second time over the Jura to France, just under the Fort de Joux border fortress, back to Switzerland around Lake Joux. From there downhill and towards Fribourg, around the lakes of Interlaken, over the Brünig Pass and through valleys of several successive lakes, including the Vierwaldstättersee and the Zurich see, then around Rhine to the Bodensee. And then just via Memmingen, Augsburg, Regensburg and Domažlice straight home.
Following the Inn river

My first bikepacking trip started from the Austrian Innsbruck and followed the Alpine valley of Inn. Then, when the Alps were gone all of the sudden and immediatelly replaced by the flat lowland, I continued around the lakes of Simssee and Chiemsee, via Burghausen with its monumental castle, or Braunau, the birthplace of one famous guy the locals would rather want to forget, all the way to the point where Inn dissolves into Donau in Passau.
