ANGELIKA WILKE
On two wheels alone to the North Cape and around the Baltic Sea
Stranded in Lapland, at four degrees all alone under dripping trees and with only a lukewarm shower - how do you stay in a good mood? Author Angelika Wilke tells of this and other adventures on her 5400-kilometer bike tour with exciting pictures and texts from her book Trotzdem aufbrechen.
The three children are grown up - if not now, then when to take the big break! Single-handedly, the cycling nomad travels through a total of nine countries to Europe's northern tip and back.
Mountain passes, huge forests, fjords, tunnels and islands accompany the long-distance cyclist on her way. Beyond the age of 50, she embarks on an undertaking that she originally didn't think she could handle - and in the process learns a lot of new things about herself - and also about her fellow human beings.
