Description

We needed to skip this part due to an injury. It was quite difficult to figure out, how to get from Lovech to Gabrovo with the bikes. In the end, we took a taxi. That was about 70lv (=35EUR). I guess this was only possible because my travel companion for this trip is Bulgarian. There is a bus and also train, but nobody was able to tell us, if we can take the bikes or not.
