I’m planning to bike the length of the Danube – from the Black Forest to the Black Sea – in the summer of 2012. It’s approximately 1700 miles, so figuring 3.5 to 4 weeks for a pace of about a century a day with a rest day every so often and allowing for a little sightseeing. I did Vienna to Budapest in 2.5 days in 2001 (yes, I am older and very out of shape now…hence the two year lead time). Then, I used a German-language guide for the trip; it is now available in English:
• Danube Bike Trail 1: From Donaueschingen to Passau [978-3-85000-249-3]
• Danube Bike Trail 2: From Passau to Vienna [978-3-85000-160-1]
• Danube Bike Trail 3: From Vienna to Budapest [978-3-85000-212-7]
• Danube Bike Trail 4: From Budapest to the Black Sea [978-3-85000-250-9]
Just trying to find a source in the US that has all four volumes…have written the publisher in Austria to find out if they have a distributor.
[UPDATE:Esterbauer, the publishers, wrote back promptly and directed me to their US distributor, MapLink, and they should have all four in my hands next week!]
I told Anne that I wanted to do this, and she said to pick a date and do it…and I do what my wife says! 😉
Care to join me? The more, the merrier!
