I've sent off for the guidebook to the German section for the missus to give me as a birthday present next week. That's *next* year's summer hol sorted out! |

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: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@42.173378,27.858879,3a,75y,251.51h,96.02t/data=!3m5!1e1!3m3!1s5whsXsXaryUAAAQIt7b5_A!2e0!3e11?hl=en 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.
