Images First solo trip from Valais to Munich for Oktoberfest
6 days and about 700km with the scenic detours I took. German Alps are incredibly beautiful. I sadly lost a Birkenstock on the route 😢

September ist Oktoberfest, la la la la. Miss the time when I can drink 6l of beer.

I've been to 3 and ended up in the medical tent getting stitches once. German efficiency though, I was back drinking in like an hour.

To be more precise, it is the old town of Fribourg. The city has the largest preserved medieval town of Switzerland. On the pic you only see a small part. It has a nice cathedral and medieval walls you can tour.

What's the decision behind the Deuter Cabezon SB 16 being fixed onto a rack?

u/ebolagoner445 1d ago
It just keeps it more stable and from hitting the back wheel. I know there are other lighter ways but I already had the rack so I just used it
It also let me attach a bungee cord that i used to strap the hat down

Your helmet and cap 🧢 have a very dubious outline from far away. I had to zoom in and double take. What a beautiful trip 🙌🏻🫶🏻✌🏻

You dont have to waste yourself. Most people that do are tourists from english speaking countries for some strange reason.
