I’m planning to bike the length of the Danube \u2013 from the Black Forest to the Black Sea \u2013 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:<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
[UPDATE:Esterbauer<\/a>, the publishers, wrote back promptly and directed me to their US distributor, MapLink<\/a>, and they should have all four in my hands next week!]<\/p>\n 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! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n Care to join me?
