How do the two fifty-somethings, Marianne Winter and Peter Wacker, manage to cycle 9,000 kilometers through Europe? Always along the former Iron Curtain. In their book "Iron Curtain Trail," they not only share their preparations for the journey but also their experiences along the way. Over the course of four and a half months, their route took them from the north of Europe, from the Barents Sea, to the Black Sea. Many memories of the overcome division and the seventeen countries they traveled through left a variety of impressions. In the second part of the book, the two cyclists provide tips and information about the Iron Curtain cycling route as well as cycling trips in general.
