Hello everyone,
I'm planning my first trip and I need some help because I'm feeling kind of overwhelmed by all the routes and information there is. I'm planning a 3 week trip with starting point Nancy, France (Or Strasbourg France). I think I can put up to 50 km on average a day, with 1 day of rest every 4 days. My ideal goal is to reach Italy through the Alps, focusing on Natural places as lakes, mountain views and forests (I know, pretty popular kind of bikepacking trip haha).
I found this trip on Kmoot that looks nice, but I don't know if it's really hard to achieve (because of the steep climb in the Alps):

So I have the following questions:
- When planning a route, what are the key steps you take for choosing a destination?
- I'm in good shape but I'm not the expert cycling guy with all the gear and the big calves, is this achievable?
- Any suggestions for natural destinations near Grand-East France or Germany?
- How to find already good planned routes?
Thanks a lot!
