Loděnice (CZ) – Krippen (DE)

Day 25 Journey

Time for Germany! Currywurst. Kebab. Nice views!.

Day started great. Got up from my cabin. After 10km or so I met group of 4 from Netherlands in local cafeteria. They left pretty much when I came there, but they forgot some stuff there.. I wonder what to with the items, like helmet.. Waited for an hour if they would come back, but they didn't.

Decided to take items with me, and hopefully will reach them, because I knew we were going to same direction. After around 30km I saw their bicycles in front of a restaurant, and went there to bring their belongings. I should have recorded the meeting.

I: “Did you guys forgo something” Them: “HOW DID YOU FIND US?”

They were again able to ride safely :) Offered me dinner and few drinks. Great people, safe travels!

So later on the evening I managed to get to German side. I didn't even notice I got to germany before realizing that the signs are in different language. So smooth to change countries in this Schengen area. Great stuff!

Day 24 Journey

Easy riding. Went to some camping are in Loděnice. Price for the cabin was same as for the night in my own tent, so decided to take that just in case and try it out. Was definetely worth it, got elecricity, and even fridge. Didn't need to worry about the weather either.

Took it easy, had one hour live stream in Twitch at the evening. Cooked some great food. More pictures below.

At the end of the trip there were huge problems with my Command Center. It lead to me to wrong place, and I had to do some 7km in a forest to get to correct spot. Huge alot of downhill, alot of different obstacles, later noticed it was meant for 2Mountain bikes”, not for.. carrying alot of extra stuff on you. See below.

Day 17 Journey

Day was great. Woke up in the post apocalyptic camping site around 5 AM. Did some breakfast, waited for tent etc to dry.

After that it was pretty much a travel day. After I noticed I have lost my USB-chargers I stopped in a great place for few beers and charge my powerbanks and mobile phone etc. After these “few beers” finished just 10 km or so and ended up in nice farm for a sleep. Survived.

Here are some views frrom my camp, and the camp itself next to the farm in Korce, or rather near Korce.

Litomyšl (CZ) – Holice (CZ)

First time on a trip I had setup my bikemap to go in the middle of forest. Realized that after 8km of driving wrong direction. There were no mobile phone signal in the area so took a while to navigate myself back to the correct route. Well, I learned that the offline maps might get handy during the trip, so downloaded some.

Day 16 Journey

I came to the retro camping site for the night. Google reviews were spot on. It seems that time has paused in here. Probably not many things has changed in decades. Some images below. But first the morning view after waking up!

Good Morning
