Routes Help! Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, Ukraine, Poland and Czech Republic

Hello Again,

It's time for us to plan the second stage of our trip and we're hoping to be traveling through Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, Ukraine, Poland and Czech Republic.

On and off road routes would be great.

Last time I posted route help on here I had a great response so hope you don't mind me asking again and as promised stage 1 was filmed and is currently being made into episodes for you all to watch (See Here: Aim For The Horizon). Plan to do the same with this stage as well.

Thanks in advance.

Rob

We must spent a mo th doing a route like yours a d we loved Romania. However be careful of scam in Transnitsia. You think you are in Moldova but you are not! It is about the size of Kent a d the want money to enter, fair enough it is about £3, but the bentCustoms guys try it again as you leave about 1 hour later to get into Moldova proper

I wish you would give UA a big fat miss
people are great
Police thugs
Take Odeca
I never felt more in danger there, than any other place than Moscow
There are no rules in Ua, and if you hit a shiny new Merc, you are at fault, full stop
Ro, Bg, gee roads are very dangerous and you are at risk wild camping, but hey I did it, albeit is a Disco

sorry should help and not be so neg
Krym is beautiful Sebastopol, where the Ru fleet has a base, Semferopl
You would be safe camping on the coast
Beware thieves in Odeca
So you have to enter via Hungary or Pl
Expect huge wait in Pl
Drive to the very front of the Queue eh and just act like you own the place
Russians hate weakness(70% of Ua is Ru)
At the head of the queue you may get some pimp front up and ask for some bucks to get you through faster, 20 dollars could save a day

Bulgaria:

- Troyan Pass
- From Lake Batak to Sarnitsa (843)
- Dospat to Kardzali (take the side roads....)
- From Troyan to Teteven (only place I've seen Mule trains)
- And if you really have to; the Shipka Pass with a trip to Buzludzha.

Lots to see.....

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
