We will be travelling through Germany for about a week through the Rhineland and Bavaria. We are really excited to join the Danube river in Ulm, which we will be following through Austria, Slovakia, Hungary and Romania (hopefully make navigation easier!). This route is the Eurovelo 6 and has been enjoyed by many cyclists.
