Does Bicycle Touring Get More Beautiful Than This?
This episode takes us through several days as we bicycle through the last of The Romantic Road. Some of the gloom and damp give way to sunnier weather, but still chilly. The landscapes are straight out of Tolkein, as we leave Rothenburg for Dinkelsbühl and Nördlingen, the three crown jewels of the Romantic Road. But the weeks of inclement weather have left Julianna with a bad cold, and as we reach the Danube, we need to take some days to let her heal. With the climb over the Alps just over the horizon, we find a spot in Donauworth to stop and chill for a few days before next episode’s grand adventure.

Sad for you 😢
Nice video 😊
you gave me a happy feeling to start the weekend. 🌻
Have you run across many other bike tourists?
Lovely, it's now on my short bucket list. There is something about the wooden stairs of old hotels, the squeak, that brings back pleasant tour memories. Thanks much for sharing.
Thank you very much for all of your videos! I love dicovering 'my' country trough the eyes of another culture and next time on my bike trough the Eifel by rain I will try to find it beautyful too😂.
Good luck e Bonn
Great video (again) Roland and Juliana. Please confirm you rode in the Fall?
That was beautiful scenery!
Thanks to you two for your sharing!
thank you for all your videos! Looking forward to the next one!!! ❤
I love your videos. Hope it gets warmer for you
Roland and Julianna, as ever…good choice of Music👍
Being sick away from home is no fun.
Ah Doners… did you not know about them? Perfect ride food, really tasty, and one of those universal names. I love them on my long distance rides. I managed to get one in each nation I toured through last year!
Love how you change plans when needed. Gorgeous scenery and villages. Happy you are taking care of yourselves and hopping the train! 💜
Another fantastic video, especially loved the forest shots. Hoping to do this route September 2026, war permitting.
Thank you for posting this wonderful video. Wishing Julianna improved health & warmer weather for the both of you.
Could only go better now! 😊
Hi enjoying your videos. If you have a moment please can you tell me the make and model of Julianna's bike. Thank you 😊
Please give us some brief information about the gearing on your bicycles… Thanks!
Congratulations to you both! Not for just getting married but also for all the hard pedalling. This trip really has turned into an epic bike tour, really enjoying it.
Get well soon Julianna!
A little technical tip: Your videos were recorded at 30 fps and edited at 24 fps. This leads to clearly visible jerking, as every fifth frame is skipped during video editing. I've heard from other YouTubers that you absolutely have to edit at 24 fps for YouTube. This is complete nonsense. It is best to edit at the frame rate at which the recordings were made. Youtube accepts all common frame rates.
