    A look over the Ukrainian border

    July 13, 2020 in Romania ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    When we got up, it was sunny again. Sweet! First, we cycled to Baia Mare and enjoyed a coffee in the historic center of the town. Then we headed towards the Ukrainian border while struggling with some nasty headwinds. The road was quite busy, so cycling in general wasn't that much fun.
    The villages in Northern Romania are interesting. We expected old little Romanian style houses. Instead, most of the properties were huge, like mansions. The region in general was nice, some mountains, lots of forest and vineyards.
    We reached the river Theiß which forms the border between Romania and Ukraine. As Ukraine is still closed for tourists due to Corona, we won't be able to pass, but we could at least look over to the other side.
    Many people in this region offer there backyards for tourists to camp for a small amount of money. So that's where we are camping tonight.
