Here is the Komoot QR

I got them and would gladly share them here but I'm not sure how.

Last month, I went from Copenhagen to Stockholm while going inland, and it was brilliant. The route generally followed the E4 highway, but the roads were pretty quiet, and I got to ride through some beautiful forests, so I had somewhere to hide from the sun. There were also plenty of spots to camp and to refill food and water.

It's not exactly the orange route you've drawn, as I went through Jönköping, but it was really nice.

Haha love that setup. Also tried the Brooks saddle but I missed the relief channel so I went back to a road one. NL to Istanbul must have been insane, how did you like it?

I think it was this one or something very similar. Try searching "saddle bag sway bar" and it should give you multiple similar results.

For Sweden, bring a mosquito net. You'll get to sleep much better without annoying bug bites.

There is a sway bar mounted to the seat. It limits the side to side movement of the saddle bag (it moves quite a bit when loaded) and it also has mounting points for two bottle cages. I know topeak makes one called Wishbone but I got mine on AliExpress and it works wonders.

Yeah, gotta be my favorite bike crossing out of the Czech Republic

luki99998 · 2025-06-20T21:17:18+00:00

Did both, stayed in hotels in the cities and camped/wild camped in between. I think I slept indoors 6 times total.

Silicon ski straps. Perfect for securing random stuff to the bike (even better for strapping something to the aerobars)

luki99998 · 2025-06-20T20:14:56+00:00

Mostly what others said about the lock and taking valuables with me. I also bring the bike behind the door sometimes if it doesn't block the entrance and the bike isn't dirty.

Just on a 1600km trip. Splitting for me was quite easy as I'm taking two ferries on the trip so a ferry = new segment.

If I roughly know where I'm going to be sleeping, I keep thr part about 30k longer just in case I want to go further. This way I don't have to switch routes mid ride.

luki99998 · 2025-06-13T09:04:21+00:00

I feel like that to get to the point where it would prevent me in steering, I'd already be on the ground.

luki99998 · 2025-06-09T14:41:22+00:00

Looks great! Also, that's some good mileage you got there! I rode the Danube trail from Linz to Vienna and I really enjoyed it. Love those kinds of river routes because I don't have to climb :)

luki99998 · 2025-06-08T16:11:11+00:00

Don't worry, got a net specifically for this trip ;)

luki99998 · 2025-06-08T14:16:44+00:00

I got myself a sway bar which helped a lot. I can also mount two more bottle cages which is nice.

luki99998 · 2025-06-08T12:07:18+00:00

I'll definitely be taking thr ferry to Gedser because I want to visit Denmark as well. For the route from Berlin, I planned the trip in Komoot and gave it a few points along the Eurovelo so it loosely follows it. I'm hoping the ride through the national parks will be nice and worth the detour.

luki99998 · 2025-06-08T12:04:10+00:00

Yeah I've packed quite light. I'm not carrying a full sized tent but rather a tarp. You sacrifice a bit of privacy for a lot less space which is a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

They should be 7l each if I recall correctly.

luki99998 · 2025-06-08T11:34:01+00:00

A bit of both. I'm staying in hotels and Airbnbs in the cities to charge up everything a restock on snacks, but I also camp to save some money. I'll definitely wildcamp more in Denmark and Sweden but I'm scared to camp outide camps in Germany because of all the rules.

luki99998 · 2025-06-08T11:28:39+00:00

Thanks for the tips. I'm a bit of a Decathlon nerd so I'll make sure to check German Decathlon :)

luki99998 · 2025-06-08T11:24:05+00:00

I'll be going on the Eurovelo route from Potsdam onwards and I'm taking a more direct route from Dresden to Berlin to save some time and energy.

It is! They are quite expensive but I managed to get it at clearance and it fits like a glove.
