"The beautiful end of America"

Highway 1 | California | USA | 2008

One of the greatest streets of the world. Its well-known reputation has good reasons: You see beautiful beaches, wonderful State Parks, lots of different animals (like sea elephants) and steep cliffs. But only when the typical californian fog is away.

"Cycling the Highway 1 - Part 3"

San Francisco | California | USA | 1995

After my 3-weeks trip from Seattle to San Francisco I spent some days in this californian city. It was my first but not last visit. I explored the city with my bicycle. And I met a couple from Stanford, which I learned to know 2 weeks before in Oregon. I spent the last 2 days with them in their house. It was a perfect end of a perfect holiday.

"Cycling the Highway 1 - Part 2"

Astoria - San Francisco | Oregon | California | USA | 1995

The Oregon Coast is famous for its beautiful views and landscapes. With the bicycle I saw a lot of them. And it was great to get to know a lot of cyclists who did the same route. Finally the crossing of the Golden Gate Bridge after a ride of 2.000km (1.250 mls) was one of my big 5 private moments.

"Cycling the Highway 1 - Part 1"

 Seattle - Astoria | Washington | USA | 1995

After finishing my University I wanted to fulfill myself a wish. I decided to cycle the Highway 1 from Seattle to San Francisco. I flew, my bike as luggage, to Seattle and started there. After a short break on Vancouver Island in Victoria I drove through the Olympic Nationalpark and along the Coast of Washington. In Astoria I crossed the big Astoria-Megler-Bridge to Oregon.
