Opting for the long Euroroute 6, which winds a long curve north and then south again, we see some spectacular views of the Danube. From its widest point of approximately 5 km to it's narrowest, a few hundred metres across, with breath taking cliffs on both sides. Of course this means a bit of hill climbing, but nothing too severe and the views make it all worth while. There is little traffic on the
these roads, which make it more enjoyable and safer. We have seen only three other bike tourers in Hungary and Serbia... eastern Serbia is really beautiful and I recommend it to everyone.
We wild camp with the hydroelectric dam spanning the Danube in the background. It proves to be quite windy by the river and sleep it's difficult.
We are greeted in the morning by residents of the village bearing gifts; fruit, sweets and offering to refill our water bottles. Instead of being sceptical of their new residents, they are curious about our journey and try to help us along our way.
Nice blog and the details about it really interesting.
