Frank and Daphne continue their Sea to Sea cycle, now leaving EV 15 and following EV 6 as it crosses the Rhine/Danube watershed to join Europe's second longest river. We follow the Danube through the beautiful Donautal Gorge to Sigmaringen and eventually on to the city of Ulm and its notable cathedral. We have some interesting experiences finding campgrounds and hotels!
This episode covers Cycle Days 25 -29.

Music from YouTube Audio Library and Epidemic Sound.

Useful Resources:
For EV 6 we used "EuroVelo 6 (Basel - Budapest) 7 maps 1:100 000 (English, French and German Edition)", a set of very useful maps that show points of interest and campgrounds. Available online Amazon and other book stores.

We also had the Cicerone Guide "The Danube Cycleway Volume 1" by Mike Wells (Kindle version) which, just like the Rhine Guide, gives lots of interesting information about what you see along the way, together with detailed maps.

The official EuroVelo website is another handy resource of course, and for those using GPS navigation, it provides gpx files for the various routes. [ Ссылка ]

For navigation, we did not use any high-tech GPS systems, relying instead on route signage, the maps and book mentioned above, and sometimes the Maps.Me phone app.
We did not have local phone sim cards so our use of Google maps and other online resources was limited to when we had wifi access at campgrounds, grocery shops and restaurants.
