EuroVelo 15 routes, follows the Rhine River and covers the Netherlands, Germany, France & Switzerland. This was my first multiday long distance cycling adventure. Stayed at small hotels along the Rhine and occasioanlly took less frequented trails through farmland and small towns. The cycling is relatively easy and most amenities can be found along the way. There are many lovely towns to be explored. Best of all cyclist are welcomed all over. Cycling is one of the best ways to experience europe. While, I did not splurge, the same trip could have been done at half the cost through better planning, mostly through camping and minimizing eating at restaurants. There is plenty of guides and videos about Cycling in Europe and especially on the EuroVelo routes. Highly recommended.

Hi Mirza, lets ride and vlogg together 🙂
Very inspiring ride ! Thank you
I REALLY enjoyed that! Very informative, great pictures and video, super comments.
I've watched a dozen, or more, vlogs of people cycling along the Rhine in either direction because I hope to do the same soon, and then on along the Danube to Istanbul.
As Filipe Texeira says – very inspiring! Thank you (his comment appears below as I write this: no doubt that will change)
It is good to see the beauty, the cities and the cycle paths, including where it didn't work out. I doubt that I could afford €65pn though! Hostels and cheap accommodation for me, I think!
Hi Mirza, I did the same route in 2019, I went from the UK to Athens in Greece, it took over 85 days to cover the 3,800 miles (a few ferries included) I got lost a few times too, I got very wet, sunburned but learned so much about myself. Well done for your achievements, keep cycling if you can! 🙂
@Steve Evans. Steve. Thanks for viewing the post. Due to Covid19, plans for 2020 cycling got disrupted. I regret having not discovered long distance cycling early on when physical health was better. Hopefully another adventure in Spring / Summer of 2021. UK to Athens sounds exciting. Lets see
Mirza thank you!!!! Have a happy New Year 2021. I was to do this trip in 2020 but Covid got in the way. Just your first 2 seconds of your video is the most worthwhile part of any travel video. It is priceless. It gives all the information one needs. I will rent a bike from "Your City Bike" In Amsterdam and then take the train to Lucerne. I will ride back downhill and do it much slower as I plan to stop of 2-3 days in several small cities and towns. Thanks again for your great information. If you have advice please send it to me at louroussinos@gmail.com Thanks

Wow renting a bike, that's a good way to avoid the hassle of bike shipping.
