On the road
| morgenhausen am 20. Mai 14 

"Jetzt geht's lohos, jetzt geht's lohos..." Well actually it started
allready as I've started cycling yesterday. But today arrived in aachen, wich is the first border city of my trip. So I'm starting my journey following the borders in some minutes... there had been loads of problems in the last few days of organisation as for example some parts of my equipment hasn't arrived in time. But I decided to start cycling as planed and my boyfriend will send the missing bits and peaces to me when they arrive.

First impressions

Andere Deutschlandumrunder
| morgenhausen am 10. Mai 14 

Heute habe ich mal wieder eine Google-Suche gestartet um Leute zu finden, die auch schon einmal mit dem Rad Deutschland umrundet haben. Erstaunt stellte ich fest, dass im Vergleich zu noch vor zwei Jahren sich vieles getan hat. Damals fand ich nur zwei Deutschlandum-runder (Eckhard Sandrock und Peter Matulla). Dieses mal sind es deutlich mehr. Hier meine Suchergebnisse:

Jetzt werde ich versuchen die Leute anzuschreiben. Ich bin gespannt was sie mir für Tipps geben können... und ob sich evetuell Etappenbegleiter ergeben. Spannend!

Once around GE - summer 2014
| morgenhausen am 07. Mai 14 

The idea for this trip is two years old. In my second year at university I got the idea for it. I guess it was because of the lessons we had in the room at uni, which is decorated with those great big maps of Germany.

  • So first my motivation:
    I've been in Ireland for half a year and I have seen lots of different parts of that land. Back in Germany I realized that I know only very little parts of Germany. Mostly Lower-Saxony, where I come from.
  • Second the idea:
    Therefore I had the idea to cycle once around Germany following the borders.
In the next years I planed the route more or less as well as I started to get the equipment for the trip.

the route

I'm going to start the trip in Aachen as it is the closest border city from cologne. - Actually I want to start in cologne, but thats not a border city. - From Aachen I will cycle south since I want to travel the borders counterclockwise. I hope this will bless me with nice weather on each stage. The headed are the following:

bicycle route distance legs
3-Länder-Route from Aachen to Konz/Trier 3 Etappen, 230 km
Saar/Saarland from Konz to Saargemünd 2 Etappen, 94 km
from Saarbrücken to Karlsruhe 2 Etappen, 178 km
Rhein from Karlsruhe to Bodensee 6 Etappen, 400 km
Bodensee 1 Etappe, 65 km
Bodensee-Königssee from Bodensee to Königssee 6 Etappen, 470 km
from Königssee to Passau 2 Etappen, 165 km
Grünes Band from Passau to Zittau 10 Etappen, 600 km
Oder-Neiße from Zittau to Anklam 8 Etappen, 411 km
Ostseeküste 10 Etappen, 1015 km
Ost-Nordsee 1 Etappe, 130 km
Nordseeküste from Niebüll to Bunde 9 Etappen, 906 km
from Nordsee to Aachen 6 Etappen, 640 km
66 Etappen, 5304 km
