I have meanwhile returned from my trip, after cycling 2515 km in 3 weeks, safe and sound on Sunday the 28th. September (and back at work on the 29th.). Tight bit of planning. Not a holiday I would plan again that late in the season: too wet, sunset around 19:00 hrs., cold nights, wet grass and empty campsites. Also a lot of B&B and hotels were already closed for the season at those moments I could do with a dry place to spend the night. Weather improved somewhat when I entered Czechoslovakia but roads and cycle paths got worse. Had to change plan and cancel destination Prague. Simply not enough days available to do the return from Pilzen to Prague so went from Pilzen directly to Regensburg. Glad to left that country after a couple of days again and back to Germany to complete the last part of the trip And then the rain started again. Interesting trip, but would have preferred better weather conditions and couple of days extra to enjoy the ride more and even visit a museum or two.
