For all the pedal pushers out there that love long distance cycling. There are no gear requirements and no 'minimum distances' here.

Have you ridden for a cheeky overnighter or a 3 year global trek? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

Have you got panniers, bikepacking bags or just a backpack with the essentials? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

Have you got the latest in carbon engineering or your dads old 10 speed from the 70's? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

[?] Tips for a trip from Germany to Romania, then to Croatia (discuss.tchncs.de)

Do you folk have any tips about bicycle routes in central Europe ? Are there remarkable things you dearly remember or places/routes you wish you didn't go though ?

My gf and I are planning our summer trip, we are going from Rheinland Pfalz in Germany to Transylvania in Romania and then in Dalmatia in Croatia and back home via a boat then through Italy. It's our first very long trip, we only did a 3 weeks long route last summer, but this time we have 4 months.

Don't underestimate the temperatures you will encounter in Dalmatia in summer. Over 35C is normal, 40C is fairly common.

Yeah, we are a bit afraid of that. I hope it cools down a bit in the night, especially in camping sites outside of cities.

I know people who cycled to Romania from CZ. In CZ I can get you general tips and few routes I did and regions I am more familiar.

But as I am on tour I won't be seeing them for at least 5 months.

Would also be interested in any feedback about this! As you must know, you can basically follow the Danube for the whole of that trajectory. Have a great time.
