Itinerary description
|
WE ARE DIRECTED TO GABROVO BY SECONDARY ROADS. NOTHING MORE TO COME OUT OF VELIKO TARNOVO WE BEGIN TO GO UP, ALTHOUGH THE SLOPES ARE NOT HARD, WE GO UP CONTINUOUSLY UNTIL TRJAVNA. FROM HERE WE HAVE A PORT IN WHICH WE WILL ARRIVE AT THE 1000MTS OF HEIGHT FOR AFTER LOWERING GABROVO. THE INITIAL IDEA WAS GOING TO KAZANLAK BY SECONDARY ROADS, BUT WHAT COMES IN THE MAPS AS A ROAD BECOMES A MOUNTAIN TRACK AND IN ADDITION WE LOSE. IN ANY WAY, THE AREA WHERE WE ARE LOST HAS SOME SPECTACULAR LANDSCAPES. AT THE END WE GET BACK TO GABROVO, AFTER A FEW THREE HOURS OF DURAS CLIMB, WHERE WE HAVE TO STILL LEAVE THE BIKE AND PUSH THROUGH MOUNTAIN TRACKS.

Es machte richtig Spass in der schönen Umgebung zu biken. Die "Zusatzrunde ins unwegsame Gebiet zum See, oberhalb Gabrovo liess ich weg und fuhr stattdessen über den Schipkapass und besuchte das grosse Monument, Andenken an den russisch - türkischen Krieg. Ich übernachtete nach dem Pass in Schipka. Dort besuchte ich die wunderbare Kirche. Es wurde gerade eine ortodoxe Zeremonie abgehalten. Es klingt sehr feierlich für meine Ohren.
