| Publisher Description: Cycling to Odessa is a journey from the heart of Europe to the Black Sea. En route you marvel at the many mountain ranges of Slovakia. You travel across the endless Great Hungarian Plain. You cross the Carpathian Mountains twice-the first time in eastern Moravia and western Slovakia, and the second time in northern Transylvania and Bukovina of central Romania. Upon crossing Bukovina, you descend into the rolling vastness of Moldavia. Once across the Prut River, you enter the historical region of Bessarabia. Past the Dniester River, you enter Ukraine and its flat Black Sea hinterland. In Moldova, Transnistria and Ukraine, you cycle through the territory of the former Soviet Union. Photographed and written by an author of many bicycle touring adventures, the photographic coverage of the journey is an 24-stage pictorial of an amazing passage across Eastern Europe. With 80 photographs, informative and entertaining captions, details of stages and distances, a list of accommodations, and the journey-related GPX tracks you can download, the book promises to entice any intrepid or armchair traveler. |
