After years of this lurking here I did my first proper cross country solo trip and it was the best decision I made in a long time.
Slowenia was a blast and I will definitely come back for more exploring there. Croatia was super challengig.
I tried my best to find quiet roads inland but got into a lot of traffic and shit situations. Going hard back country was another option, but it was incredibly hard to ride, slow progress and no infrastructure or proper roads in +10km around.
Thanks to all the route tips and more which I got here!
