We have had a number of occasions on using and reporting about the mini-caravan for the bike, in other words for the BTurtle, had some opportunities throughout Europe for testing and trying, each time with increasing enthusiasm.

The Alpe Adria Cycle Path, also known as the Ciclovia Alpe Adria Cycle Path or the Italian Ciclovia Alpe Adria, is one of the best known, about 410 km long distance cycle path from the Austrian Salzburg (or if that does not suffice, already coming from Augsburg) across the Alps to the Italian Grado on the Adriatic coast.

After exploring the Longdendale Trail in sections along the reservoirs and at the Woodhead tunnels by e-bike, we were drawn to the high plains of this part of the Pennines, also known as the backbone of England.

Now we had covered a first section of the Longdendale Trail, we had reached the Woodhead Tunnel via EBike between the gentle slopes of the Shelf Moors and the reservoirs.

After our friend Paul's visit, we drove to Glossop campsite and had our equipment ready to spend the afternoon on the Longdendale Trail.

A trade fair visit should always lead to new discoveries in the areas of interest of the respective users, so what does the valued bike fan expect during the EURO Bike in Friedrichshafen?

Not just long trips for many days or in distant regions, a short trip with the B-Turtle is really funny, too. So if there is only an extended weekend, you can visit interesting destinations in the combination of transport, even in neighboring countries.

After heavy rain showers of the last days there was something like blue sky and sunshine once again and thus weather conditions for a bicycle tour given.

After our days in Venice and on Lake Garda, the next stop for several days was the ancient Roman city of Aquileia and its surroundings in the Italian province of Udine as a starting point.

The vast area outside the city of Xanten, which we pass on our bikes after leaving the city gate, testifies the Roman past, especially the Xanten Archaeological Park (APX) and the Birten Amphitheater.

The Danube Cycle Path, which has been heavily frequented for several years, mostly runs on both sides of the Danube, sometimes only on one side, so that the Danube has to be crossed several times during the cycle tour.

Left and right along the dikes of the Elbe river or Buten or Binnen ... as people usually say in Northern Germany if you enjoy a perfect bike ride with BTurtle for a long weekend within the dyke lines (directly at the riverside) or outside of them.

Benjamin had been working in the camping equipment branch for some time, so we had met him as a distribution partner for folded caravans during a large outdoor festival.

Tinkerers and hobbyists are numerous - sometimes you do it off with a tired smile, then again you are amazed about the basic idea and then there are those who really implement their creative ideas into reality and .... use them too.

It has only been a year since we had reported about the mini-caravan or B-Turtle of the company GentleTent from Vienna as part of our trade fair tours during the Caravan Salon Düsseldorf, which at the time was very well presented in the media on a large scale, which had led to huge interest by the visitors.

During last year's Caravan Salon in Dusseldorf and the CMT in Stuttgart countless inquiries were meeting with the air tent manufacturer GentleTent, when asking if renting the mini-caravan or better the B TURTLE will be possible in the future.

In our report about the cycling routes in the Lednice region we had already announced another report on the used recumbent bike of AZUB, whose manager had made this test trip possible for us.
