Documentation and impressions of the bike tour around the world from Germany to Asia. This episode is about bikepacking cycling in Albania. I started in Tirana together with @Roodada, riding the Euro Velo 8 bike route. We cycled through Golem and camped near the beach which was full of rubbish. We collected some of them and tried to clean up the beach a bit. Nevertheless, we visited the beautiful places and ate traditional food. In Fier we said goodbye and I tried to cycle through the mountains – the road was blocked so I cycled back to the coast. It was a great part of my trip.

Guter Mann
Tolle Sonnenuntergänge und viel Müll!
Der Dienst am Strand hat mir besonders gut gefallen. Viel Spaß mit der Balkankueche. Man riecht und schmeckt das Essen bloß vom Ansehen. Mmmh!
It's a shame that such a beautiful beach is littered! Thank you for cleaning up, even if it is only a drop in the bucket.
When you're back, you have to show me your cooking skills – cucumber with onion soup 😀
Sehr abenteuerlich!
