Like my last years 3 days – 3 passes – 3 countries tour, I made a similar one last weekend. I started in Buchs SG and went via Klosters, Davos and Flüelapass (2383m asl) to Susch. I camped there and had have to hear a lot of story’s about the brown bear in the Flüela area.

After a breakfest in the Hotel Rezia Posta, which is owned by a Saxon, I went on to Livigno, ITA. Livigno enjoys a particular tax status as duty-free area. This explains the mass tourism there. Never mind! I went on via the Forcola di Livigno (2315m asl), Berninapass (2330m asl) and Albulapass (2315m asl) to Tiefencastel. Where I took the train home.

Altogether a great, but too short, weekend.

I started into my cycling season like every year in the end of march. But this time I’m much better in shape than the last years, so two of my trips made it into the top 10 of my longest trips. I want to give you the list of the longest day trips i made by bike, including the google earth files for the last two:

And I’m positive that more will follow this year. Maybe in late summer ;)

Jan Ulrich won the Tour de Suisse. I visited the arrival on the 2nd stage from Bremgarten to Einsiedeln and shoot some nice pictures (e.g. Jan Ullrich, world champion Tom Boonen and the stage winner Daniele Contrini). But unfortunality I have some problems with my gallery and will publish them later.

Good luck for the Tour de France Jan, i’ll be there to support you again.

I was on the road again with my bycicle. I started in Buchs (SUI) on Thursday and wanted to reach Bormio (ITA) on Saturday to visit the Giro d’Italia. But the Passo dello Stelvio was still closed and will open again on 1st June. So I didnt reached the Giro. But the tour was absolutely great. My stages looked like this:

Thursday – Arlberg Pass:

• Buchs (SUI)
• Feldkirch (AUT)
• Bludenz
• Arlberg Pass (1793m asl)
• St. Anton
• Landeck

Friday – Resia Pass:

• Landeck
• Prutz
• Pfunds
• Zollamt Martina
• Norbertshöhe
• Resia Pass (1504m asl)
• Resia (ITA)
• Burgosio
• Laudes
• Glorenza
• Prato allo Stelvio

Saturday – Fuorn Pass:

• Prato allo Stelvio

• Müstair (SUI)
• Fuorn Pass (2150m asl)
• Zernez

• St. Luzisteig
• Balzers (FL)
• Buchs (SUI)

I’ve meet a Dutch on the Arlberg Pass and one day later again on the Resia Pass. He was on the way from Amsterdam to Rome. If the netherlands play football as they cycle, they will beat germany in the quarter final of the FIFA world cup 2006. But i dont hope so.
Photos of this tour can be found in my brand new gallery.

Der dieses Jahr offiziell eröffnete Radweg entlang der weißen Elster führt durch die Tschechei, Sachsen, Thüringen und Sachsen-Anhalt, wo er nach 257km in die Saale mündet. Auf weiten Teilen ist dieser Radweg jedoch nicht fertig gestellt. Auf seinen letzten Kilometern (bei Döllnitz) wurde jetzt auf dem rechten Damm (flussabwärts) ein circa 2m breiter Asphaltstreifen gezogen, wie ich letztens sehen konnte. Somit wird mich nächstes Jahr eine meiner ersten Radtouren von der Mündung der weißen Elster in Richtung Leipzig führen. Werde dann natürlich berichten wie weit der Ausbau vorangeschritten ist und eine ausführliche Beschreibung des Streckenabschnittes beifügen.
