Opština Vrbas

Not sure what lies ahead. I’m leaving the EU and am slowly approaching Serbia. Another milestone on my journey!

At the Serbian border, the customs officers greet me warmly. They’re amazed about my equipment and ask me about my travel plans. I promptly answer that I wanna cycle to Kyrgyzstan. While one of the officers is perplexed, the other one calls for support. So, now I have four officers staying all around me. We laugh together and have a basic conversation. In the end, one of the officers pats me on the shoulder and says: „Good luck my friend!“
Wow, what an experience! I already love Serbia and cannot stop smiling. Those small conversations with other people continue throughout the day.
Besides, I really enjoy the vast landscapes and endless roads!

Eventually, I get the chance to jump into a lake - the first bath after three days of cycling feels extremely good.

At the end of the day, I find a fairly good spot to pitch my tent behind a vacant church. Next to a graveyard though! 😳Read more
