Book excerpt: Across Europe on two wheels. It's a dream - a breath of freedom. This indescribable feeling of being alive takes hold of you especially when you are at one with the elements of nature. Jorge Klapproth fulfils a long-cherished dream and tours Europe on his motorbike. The first leg of this journey leads from western Germany to the northernmost point of Europe, the North Cape in Norway. From there, the second leg leads to the southern tip of the continent, to Cape Tripiti on the small Greek island of Gavdos. The third stage then goes along the Adriatic Sea, over the Alps back home. A great tour that takes the author as a solo traveller over 13,000 kilometres and through 23 countries in Europe. He reports about countless encounters, experiences and valuable lessons learned in this exciting motorbike travelogue: from the idea to the planning to the implementation - in the midst of the worldwide pandemic.
