With the Simson-Moped to Croatia: A dream comes true!

A group of five men from northern Saxony embarked on an impressive journey: With their Simson-Mopeds, they make their way from Oschatz in Germany to Cape Kamenjak, which is located south of Pula in Croatia. Their goal is to drive over 1000 kilometers away from motor drivers and highways - an adventure that not only requires physical fitness, but also a good dose of determination. Frank Lange, one of the participants, fulfills a long -cherished dream from his youth: to drive with the moped to the Adriatic href = "https://www.lvz.de/lokales/nordsachsen/torgau/mit-der-simson-nordsachsen-nach-kroatien-moped-der- Reise-lebens-lebens-nmgoa2l5ozcphm7bh5qpadny.html reported.

on Sunday, in the pouring rain, they started their journey. The first twelve hours were shaped by bad weather conditions, which also stopped on the second day. The route led her through the Czech Republic, over the Austrian border to Lake Wörthersee. On the way there was a photo stop with a stone carved VW Golf GTI. Despite the adverse circumstances, the moped drivers mastered steep passports and tight serpentines at a maximum speed of 60 km/h.

The challenges of the route

The group has not broken up unprepared. Tools and spare parts for repairs were taken, but they needed several repairs on the spokes of their mopeds while driving. They had a replacement ignition in their luggage for the emergency. Despite the slow drive, often in the first course and only 5 km/h, the team was determined to continue their journey and master the challenges.

The tour leads you to the third stage through Slovenia to Trieste in Italy and on to Croatia. However, the change in the weather brought relief: it changed from rain to sunny weather, which led to some of them sailing on their noses after intensive sun rays. The last stage comprises around 100 kilometers to the finish, with the plan, "off to the water - also with the wheels".

experiences and friendship

Since 2006, the group has been exploring the beauties and cultures of Europe with its Simson Mopeds. In addition to this current trip, you have achieved goals in France, Scotland, Croatia and Portugal in recent years. Their mission is to experience the cultures, customs and customs of other countries and to promote encounters with helpful people who often offer their support despite language barriers - that's how it describes thethreefunnyfour.com .

highlights of the past tours were not only the exploration of new countries, but also the unforgettable moments with reliable friends who make the "Simson Road Trip" a special experience. After a break due to family obligations and the Corona pandemic, they are already planning new adventures, including a return to Zinnowitz, one of their first goals.
