Cycling the Heart of Europe Part 2 - The Upper Danube

Beginning in Donauschingen, Julianna and I follow the Danube Cycle Path, here also known as Eurovelo 6, across the fairy tale landscape of the Black Forest, biking through Tuttlingen, Reidlingen, and the Upper Danube Nature Park to Sigmaringen. It turns out this section of the Swabian Alps is a hidden gem along the Danube, ideal for bike touring. If you've ever wondered whether bicycle touring in Europe is for you, take a look.

Hello Julianna and Roland, I have noticed you with the video of your journey along the Upper Danube. I have cycled there last month on my own and recognized the chapel on 8.31 and the arch on 10.56 and, off course, all the other things. A beautiful but also heavy trip. I think on 10.30 it was rather 20% than 15% 😅😊. I ride also a conventional bike, not an electric. So, sometimes it was hard work. I had also cloudy weather. So many memories came back. I have also visited Riedlingen (part 3 in your playlist). I have seen the Eisbackerei where I have eaten an icecream. Very nice to see it all again.
Now, I am gonna follow your trip across America. I had no image of the state of Washington, but with your videos I can see how awesome it is there.
Thank you very much for posting these episodes. You did a very good job!
Best wishes from a 55-years old one from Belgium (the land where cycling is a religion, thanks to the Tour of Flanders, Eddy Merckx and a big number of other cyclists) 😊.

Just got back from cycling Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Second time biking the Danube river in two years. Such a beautiful and peaceful river to bike. We only rode 25-30 miles a day this time but it took us all day because there was so many things to see along the way. Great food with amazing people made for a great trip! My buddies and I will be back again ( God willing) in 2025.

Nice video. I have to say you two are the most pristine cycle tourists I've ever seen. A refreshing change. Seeing the world in style :)

Well made video! "This is what we live for" (at 8:44) well said.

I like they way you showed it from the cyclist perspective as opposed to the heave use of drones. Eurovelo 6 has been on my list for a while, but the world is a big place. I managed to do a Northern European tour where I followed the North Sea Route for a while after landing in Denmark from a ferry from Iceland where I spent a month. From Norway back thru Denmark, Germany, Luxembourg, Belgium, Netherlands and Scotland, England and Wales. I feel sad that I couldn't squeeze Ireland onto that tour. One thing I loved about cycling Northern Europe was the food.

Makes for very pleasant viewing. Doing some cycling in Europe is very much on our bucket list...at least, after some more walking of pilgrim trails anyway.

Nice video….you travel like I do…..heading to Switzerland and cycling to Amsterdam in September 2022.
