Not a ride report, yet!
We set off on Friday for a 3 week jaunt. Hopefully over to Bosnia & Montenegro.

Basic route below. Anti-clockwise,

Rotterdam > Vosges > Alpen Straße > Grossglockner > Anzio fro a couple of days > Bari ferry to Dubrovnik then amble on back via Bosnia > Croatia and as far East as we can get in the time.

You're passing close to Coldiz.....worth a look?
It's cheap and clean in the attached youth hostel. Then in the morning you could do the 2 hour tour.
Great route you've planned!

Nice tour sir! If more than a couple of cruise ships are in Dubrovnik then avoid until the early evening when they have buggered off to sea again. Same with Mostar they bus them up to the old bridge to watch the divers but by late afternoon its a bit more civilised. The D8 coast road is worth doing a bit more of then cut inland over the mountains, I have a gravel trail over if you feel the need which takes you not far from Plitvice and the lakes but that may be a bit off course for you. I am jealous. :mrgreen:
