This is my planned bike trip that I would like to do this summer between the 4 and the 28th of August.
I wanted to ask if you have any reccomandations-improvements for this bike trip because I am not really sure that I could handle more than 3 weeks of touring while also being super excited to do this.
My previous trips were just 3-5 days lenght so I am not experienced in back-to-back bad weather, getting a rest day for cleaning stuff and enjoy the cities etc.

2000kms with 18000m climb in 24 days! Unless you’re very fit I’d consider it to be a very hard ride. Somewhere along the way you will need to factor in some rest days and possible bad weather, which will increase your average daily distance.
I’d suggest that you plan for some hop-off points where you can shorten the route, either by catching a train for some of the way, or just taking a different route. By doing this, you can start out with your intended Plan A, and if you find it is a bit too ambitious, you can do Plan B to still do as much as possible of your plan given the circumstances.
Have a great trip and enjoy the scenery. It will be magnificent!
