Distance and timing basis

The recorded total and the leg detail need reconciliation. Inspect the leg notes before using this record for timing or navigation. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.

Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.

Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.

Waypoint introductions and full write-ups

  1. 1. Vidin

    Vidin sits on the south bank of the Danube in the far north-west corner of Bulgaria, where the river forms the border with Romania and the plain stretches flat to the horizon. The city of fifty-odd thousand is quiet and a little worn, but its position on the river made it a significant stronghold for centuries, and the proof is Baba Vida, a squat medieval fortress with thick walls and round towers that stands right at the water's edge. It dates from the Middle Ages, was strengthened under Bulgarian tsars and Ottoman rulers, and is among the best-preserved castles in the country. Legend says it is named for a princess who defended it, though the story is surely tidier than the truth.
