Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

As it appears that the first little metal plate signposting the way in Germany was only put up last month, I hope the guide book is more than excellent in detail.

A town planner said that the best way to get a bike from one town along the "trail" to another is to take it on the train.

Austria seems to have made more progress with the signing.

Further reading makes me think that most of the trail in Germany is over existing trails, so putting up a new sign on an old trail isn't very significant.

Funny how German-German sounds weird in English, but deutsch-deutsch is so familiar.

I think they joined two pre-existing trails together in Germany

I hope this works:

Go to that Google maps location - it's the Black Sea end. It's clearly been made from spliced photos. There are several torsos without legs, some legs on their own and someone's hair floating in space

I suspect McG that they are also using the already existing Danube cycle trail for some of the southern part.
