Kuh Muh Nacht

Bad weather, good mood

The last week surprises us with unstable weather, but compensates us with many wonderful people and a lot of good humor from the north :-)

Good old times

Tak and Smorrebrod

A typical Danish week.

Zelt und Sonnenaufgang am See

Nej Tak, hej da!

"Hej hej! Talar du engelska?" - "Nej Tak - Hej da!"

Der Himmel brennt

Autumn is coming...

What is the connection between the Swedish church and public toilets? And how can you tell it's fall? Swedish or German?

Boot im Hafen

One week of fika

"Fika is a social institution in Sweden. It means interrupting an activity to have coffee or, less commonly, another drink with family, friends, or colleagues."

Höga Kusten Bron

Swedish coast

Along the Swedish coast we enjoy the nature on the final sprint to Uppsala.

Willkommen in Schweden

Direction South

From now on it goes only south. And through our beloved Sweden, which welcomes us with a really sunny autumn!

Weg vom Ende

At the end of the world

At the end of the world - a milestone of our journey that brings us closer and closer to our limits. Norway shows us its two faces.

The East Germans are the toughest.

This week was tough! A Viennese we met put it this way: "The Ossis?! They are the toughest". And tough you have to be if you want to get through the north!

Rentier

These Finns are crazy!

Sometimes nothing happens and sometimes many crazy things happen at once! We would not have imagined Finland to be so crazy!

Do you want sauna?

A typical Finnish week: sauna, lakes, mosquitoes.

Luxury tours

While beeing on a bike trip you often have to relinquish to so many things, but this week we felt like we were simply overwhelmed with luxury!

Crazy weather

The Baltic States are always ready for a surprise. From small lakes, nice people, interesting roads and changeable weather

Tiny Finland

Who hid all those lakes? Lithuania turns out to be an unknown paradise for everyone!

Offroad Poland

It's raining tacos

Tacos, summer, sunshine - a Polish summer fairy tale

Through the high Tatras

Off we go through Slovakia and the Tatras - our last mountains till northern Finland!

Hill after hill

How we (almost) drove Hungary in one day and what is going on in the hills of Romania.

What is Romania

Honestly, we don't know what Romania is all about. But we can take you to a small extract of this country!

Oh dear Balkans

The Balkans has a lot to offer: Dogs, good food, sunshine, rain, fields, forests and hills.

More than just tea!

Do you want tea?

We went through Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the rest is tea.

Vacation as it is (not) written in the book

What happens on a normal bike ride? Right...hiking, waterfalls and daring cycling

1,2,3

Hail, Hounds, Hrvatska

Croatia is diverse in many ways. Rain - sun, mountains - sea, dogs - no dogs (or better yet cats).

Up and down through Slovenia

A week in Slovenia - a week between wonderful nature - wonderful encounters and a highlight at the end!

Sunshine and beautiful cities

For once, a week that we spent more on our feet than in the saddle.

Tilman und Ida auf der Mass

A lot

Just a lot happend, ok?

perfect sunshine and sheeps in the garden

Bohemian Paradise

From rain to sunshine, from Germany to the Czech Republic - a week full of unexpected twists and turns.

Here we go again! Once again a bit through Germany and through rain.

Sunset

All good things come in threes

With blessing in disguise, we ended up experiencing the good things in bad situations.

5-Sterne Zelten

Portugal - in all its facets

We didn't know if we should call this "Fucking Portugal" or "It got better from day to day", so we decided for ...

Cathedral by day

Buen camino

From the rainy Galicia to the rainy Portugal, one greeting followed us all along the way: Buen camino!

Noch mehr Meer

Forced break

It's beautiful everywhere!

Au revoir Bretagne!

Along the canal from Brest to Nantes, we enjoyed the southern Bretagne and visited the origin planetarium of our favourite planetarium-database.

Sometimes things don't go as planned... but we have more plans than problems!

Endless Circles

From cheese and windmills to beer and planets. We cross the Dutch-Belgian border more than once!

Planetarium mit Hühnern

About chickens and dolphins

We finally leave Germany. And the Netherlands with its beautiful bike infrastructure has a few planetary surprises for us.

Pozole

A message from behind

After Tilman got a very clear message from behind, we decided to spend some time with a baby, and its newly baked parents.

Geteilter Himmel
