A very long day on the road! In the beginning of the day I thought I had found the perfect route along a few lakes and through a forest into the next village. However, the next moment the road was blocked by a sign proclaiming that this was a military area forcing me to make a 25 km detour.
Back on the main road I was now in a bit of a pressure to reach Berlin before darkness. Also the last 5 days of cycling started to have some impact and progress was slower than normal.
A long day in the making. 105 km already done and still 37 km to Berlin.
Once I reached the outskirts of Berlin it took another two hours to navigate into downtown.
But what a great feeling it was to finally be passing all the famous landmarks such as Brandenburger Tor, Under den Linden, and Alexanderplatz on the way to the hostel.
At least the 25 km route was nice and quite 🙂
What do you use to keep your GPS and cycle computer powered? A dynamo?
The GPS will last for two and a half days worth of cycling. I don’t have a dynamo or a solar charger, so I just charge it from the power plugs once I get to a hotel room or a camp site.
