2026 Southeast Europe – Bienie on tour

Italy/Germany (258.2 + 23 km) 🇮🇹🇩🇪

Back 2 weeks already and preparing for the next trip, I guess it’s time to wrap up the last one: I hated it 😉 While with some distance, it sounds funny and not so bad anymore, I really hated this trip. Nothing life-threatening happened but there were some factors that made this trip not a …

But before I talk further, this might be the first message you receive about a new post of me in 2 years and it’s already …
