From Rezovo to Hof

In the meantime, I have set off on the second major leg of my project "Ironcurtain2Greenbelt." From Rezovo on the Turkish-Bulgarian border—the southeasternmost point of the European Union—I will be heading along the former Iron Curtain back to Germany. The red line on the map shows what I accomplished last year, and the blue line shows my rough route for the coming weeks. I had my bike shipped to Burgas, so I cycled from there along the Black Sea coast to my starting point. Over the next few weeks, you can read exciting stories on my blog about the former Iron Curtain and secluded border areas in Southeastern Europe. Keep your fingers crossed that everything goes smoothly!
