Cycling makes happy, at least that is what I thought.

It’s time for the journey back to Germany. But that doesn’t mean the adventure is over.
A serious accident, constant rain, a broken chain and desperation while cooking accompany me.
But somehow I’m still happy.

DISCLAIMER: Wild camping in Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium is illegal and may lead to fines.
All the campsites shown are either explicitly designated or on private land and have been agreed with the owners in advance.
In Belgium there are a handful of places where wild camping is officially allowed: https://www.bivakzone.be/
I can recommend the following platforms for free overnight stays on cycle tours:
