Months have passed but I still remember how we climbed over our first mountain range, the Velebit in Croatia. We, of course, took the lowest pass we could, cycling inland till Gračas and so after all it wasn’t much climbing: from 450 m. we cycled up to 770 m., but after that, we rolled down […]
We left Zagreb that we enjoyed a lot to move on towards Plitvice lakes, a very famous spot to visit in Croatia. Indeed it was a nice beautiful nature spot, but experiences on the way were equally interesting for us. As we are not moving fast, with loads of luggage and not being cyclists, we […]
When we arrived to Zagreb we didn’t know much about it and the first thing we have felt was the Medditeranian culture. It was so somehow nearby. The weather seemed to be warmer, people more communicative and chatting, more going out. There were plenty of cafes and they were somewhat full. It felt like kind […]
Since I have met with Turkey, I fell in love with börek: the very thin pastry rolled with something inside. I also knew there is something like that in Croatia. So not knowing much about the country, I already liked it because of the börek and that is what I have been waiting for since […]
By bicycle we crossed Hungary or indeed Transdanubia as we have already shared our impressions about and we didn’t have a clear plan where do we go in advance nor had we an idea how everything is going to go. We just entered it, withdrawn some cash from the ATM at the first village and […]
In search for a fast way to reach Zagreb from nearby Balaton From a small touristic village Zalakaros in Hungary, somewhat 180 km away from Zagreb, we, in short with time, running to meet friends and stay with them before they leave for the weekend, we searched the fastest possible way to get there. Unluckily […]
Blogging is harder than I have thought when on the road. It just simply doesn’t work for me as I have expected. It could be because the evenings are still so short and the nights so cold in winter – spring in Europe, the time we are on the road. And during the days we spend […]
It was February 12, the Sunday when we on Eurovelo route, along the Danube, cycled into Hungary, not even really noticing that. We grasped just a small part of it in a week of travelling: the Transdanubian regions where we visited Gyor, Veszprem, Tapolca down to Balaton and along its coastline right into thermal waters […]
It was the first time ever we started cycling so late, just after the noon, and therefore we had to cycle the last couple of hours in the total darkness. At least there was a bicycle path and it was good and well marked. We reached Bratislava a bit in a floating state: happy and […]
With the train we came to Vienna through the snowy fields of Czechia. Just near the border the black ground was sometimes breaking from the snow cover. We were happy to see that. It was already February, the 3rd, already hard to follow up. Indeed it was just one more day. Vienna met us with […]
