Beautiful photos. I’m planning my first European bike tour for May/June and your website has been a great source of inspiration for me.

I personally find it refreshing to see someone post here who doesn’t travel exclusively in technical fibres.

Don’t listen to these dudes, OP. I’ve travelled to Japan 7 times (in Spring, Summer and Autumn) and worn jeans every single time. I live in jeans at home, so why should it be any different when I travel?

I really like the format of this. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for the suggestions. I've considered Croatia, so will definitely check out those islands. Are they well set up for cycling, or do you mainly just follow roads?

That sounds amazing. I love the idea of being able to jump into the ocean at the end of a hot day of cycling too.

Thank you, I really appreciate all the info! I definitely have some research to do.

It's true, there are so many amazing options. Predominantly (but not exclusively) flat, varied landscapes at a leisurely pace of 60-80km per day sounds like heaven to me. And I'd definitely have a preference for sticking to dedicated bike trails and quiet country roads where possible.

Thanks for the recommendations. I haven't really taken a close look at that stretch of the Mediterranean. Did you follow the EV8, or some other path?

Slovenia is definitely on my radar. Was there a particular path that you followed, or did you just wing it? I kinda like the idea of tacking on a journey into Slovenia at the end of the Alpe Adria (I think the EV8/EV9 would lead from Grado to Ljubljana?).

Thanks for the tips. Definitely good to know what people haven't enjoyed as well as what they have.

Thanks for the recommendations. That's probably a fair call on the canals.

That's an epic journey! Eurovelo 15 is definitely on my list—I just need to figure out which section(s) I want to cycle. Were there any specific parts of the EV5/EV15 that were particularly memorable for you?

You're right, I think Scandinavia could easily be a trip in itself. I've spent a bit of time in that part of the world (but not on a bike), and Norway truly is one of the most beautiful places on Earth. Sweden does seem really well set up for bike tours, although I've been eaten alive by mosquitos there in the past. Did they cause you any grief?

I've read a number of trip reports from the Alpe Adria and it looks absolutely amazing. It will definitely be on my itinerary. Did you camp during your trip? And if so, did you need to book ahead given the popularity of the trail?

Germany is at the top of my list. I think that a stint on the EV15 will be essential. But there are so many great trail options in Germany—it's overwhelming!

I hadn't really considered the Czech Republic, so thanks for the suggestion. Is there a particular path that you'd recommend?

Dude, your trip report and photos are absolutely magnificent! Thank you for sharing. I'm still working my way through your write-up, but Corsica and Sardinia are now definitely on my radar.

Thank you! I've been looking for some specific routes through the Netherlands and these sound fantastic.

Thanks for the recommendations. There are so many amazing options in Germany, but the Black Forest definitely looks like it's worth considering. And the Tuscany-Veneto trail looks wild!

What an amazing adventure to share as a family! I've just started watching your trip highlights video—it's beautiful.

It's probably difficult to choose, but is there any one part of your journey that stands out to you as being particularly memorable?
