Recumbent bike ride Benelux,
French Vosges and Germany.
On my recumbent I've followed the
bicycle route described in the guidebook
'cycling unlimited from Amsterdam
to Rome' by Paul Benjaminse. After reaching
the Southern Vosges mountains I headed north via
the famous Alsace whine route towards Strassbourg.
Crossing the hills of the Northern Vosges and
Hunsrück I picked up the popular bicycle route
along the Mosel river to Koblenz. I've
finished the trip along the Rhine river near the
famous Lorelei rock.
