After three nights in our wooden house on the mountain with a great view, we pack everything in the cars and drive the many curves down toward Wolfberg before driving up and down Weineofen Mountain again to get to our tree bike parked next to the bakery on the little square in Deutschlandberg. The beginning of another special day. We give another tree bike to the bakery where we have a cup of coffee and ride up to the beginning of the mountain. From there we do a “tow” up, well “tow,” it’s a big tow, twenty kilometers long from Deutschlandberg, at an altitude of 370 meters, to the summit of the Weineofen at 1,650 meters. Nearly thirteen hundred meters of ascent. It’s too steep to bike, maybe it could be done but then we’d be busy all day and we’d be too far ahead of our schedule. And it’s another good test for the Alps. After an hour and a half we are at the top, in Weineofen, on the border of Styria and Carinthia. It went very well, only the passing motorcycles were super-irritating, at least most of them, and also quite dangerous. Way too loud and a lot of noise. But there is little to do about it. When we get to the top we unhitch and Daan and Richard pick up the trailer. I wait for them to return, it is ten degrees colder than in the valley, where it is thirty degrees. Then it’s down the mountain. And frankly, that is less enjoyable than going up. Even though the views are spectacular, you constantly hang in the brakes and hope it goes well. More pain in your hands than in your legs. Fortunately it goes well, but the e-bikes we have are not really suited for this kind of descent, and the tree bike doesn’t like it either. We are glad when we are safely down. And then after about twenty kilometers of lovely false flat a bit downhill we arrive via Wolfsberg in Sankt Andrä, where the twin towers of the church are a recognizable sight. We are on time today, it is five o’clock and we have covered sixty kilometers and are back on schedule. At the place where we have a drink we still have to book an overnight stay, it is not easy on Whit Saturday and Sanne has already spent a lot of time on it. In the end it succeeds with the help of Richard, our experienced booking man. Half an hour from Sankt Andrä, in the direction we cycle tomorrow, towards the Slovenian border, for two nights. Top. We park the tree bike and trailer and drive to our new accommodation. It is still nice and warm, and it is beautifully situated overlooking the mountain belt that separates Austria from Slovenia, which we must cross after tomorrow to reach Slovenia. We have dinner outside. What a nice place. It worked again, we crossed a 1,650-meter mountain and we are back on schedule. Every day is a wait and see but the tree bike just did it today, and so did we.
