 Was ist "BaltiCCycle"?

Naturtourismus – Wer die Seele der Länder erkennen will, der muss aufs Land fahren.

 

Mittelalterliches Tallinn? Hauptstadt des Jugendstil Riga? Gipfel des Barocks Vilnius? – Vergessen Sie's einfach!

 

Die wahre Entdeckung der Baltischen Staaten ist das Hinterland. Das Geld wird in den Städten verdient, aber das Herz liegt auf dem Lande: In Holzhaus-Dörfern und alten Städtchen, in den weiten Wäldern, in grün blauen Flüssen und Seen. Sie sind von Legenden umwoben, in Liedern besungen oder einfach: schön.

Die meisten Einheimischen haben die Sommer ihrer Kindheit auf dem Land verbracht, wissen noch wie von eigener Hand gemolkene Milch schmeckt. Aber auch für Ausländer wird es immer einfacher, dieser Ursprünglichkeit zu begegnen, gemütlich durch die Landschaft zu fahren, auf Bauernhöfen und in Dorfschänken einzukehren. Und nicht nur schöne Fassaden zu sehen, sondern tief in die Baltische Seele zu blicken.

 

Was ist das Baltikum?

Natur – mit über 2000 Kilometern Ostseeküste, über 15.000 Flüssen und Flüsschen, über 7000 Seen, ganz genau 1521 Inseln in Estland, mit ausgedehnten Waldgebieten, und der höchste Berg hat gerade mal 318 Meter. Trotzdem ein hügeliges Land voller natürlicher Entdeckungen.

Geschichte – mit Spuren untergegangener Völker und der Dänen, Schweden, Deutschen, Franzosen (unter Napoleon), Polen, Russen und anderer Völker, von denen Sie noch nie gehört im Leben gehört haben. Und immer wieder die Betonklötze der Sowjetzeit.

Architektur – mit mittelalterlichen Städten und Burgen, Gutshöfen, prächtigen Klosteranlagen, Jugendstil in Riga und seiner Kopien, Holzhausdörfern.

Zukunft – mit boomenden Metropolen in denen die Hochhäuser in den Himmel schießen und die eine Menge Optimismus verkünden.

 

Unterschiede & Warnung

Trotzdem: Es bleiben drei Länder mit eigener Tradition, eigener Sprache und auch mit unterschiedlichem Lebensgefühl. Von den kühlen "kleinen Finnen" in Estland und den "Italienern des Baltikum" in Litauen tun sich ganze Welten auf. ACHTUNG! Bei der Größe der Länder verschätzt man sich gerne: Das kleinste der drei – Estland – ist etwa so groß wie die Niederlande oder Dänemark (und das reicht den meisten für den Urlaub völlig).

Warum ins Baltikum?

Das Baltikum per Fahrrad? 

Diese Frage bejahen wir seit vielen Jahren. Deshalb gibt es seit 2001 das Fahrradprojekt BaltiCCycle. Wir sind die einzige Plattform zur Förderung des Radfahrens in Litauen, Lettland, Estlands und drumherum . 

Und hier ein kleiner Text, der einen Eindruck darüber geben soll, wieso Sie das Baltikum mal per Rad probieren sollten:

Enjoy history and nature of the Baltic States on a bicycle!

Why the Baltics?

The Baltic States by bicycle?

Yes, why not? Since 2001 the Cyclists' project BaltiCCycle is the only platform on supporting cyling in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia,

And here is a small text, which shall give you an impression why to cycle in the Baltic States. Or like I use to say: We have everything – without mountains …

 

Between Sibiria, Scandinavia and Adria
The Baltic States wait to be discovered by bicycle

Amazing wild nature. The coast seems to be endless and maid of white sand. And it's not the Mediterranean. The forests are deep and full of sounds. And it's not "The Lord of the Rings". Here are storks and cranes, elks and beavers. Nothing special – in the Baltic States. We admit: There are often no other tourists with you, there are often no special bicycle paths. And in the big cities A LOT of traffic. And sometimes bad gravel roads you couldn't image. But mostly you'll recognize the asphalt in these green deep forests or through these fields scattered with small wooden houses or lakes – a blue painted sky with white clouds and a road that leads up to the sky. So, this is the invitation to an adventure, to a discovery of three still unknown countries who seem to fit perfectly for cycling: Soft hills and in general good roads make them easy to cycle but not boring.

 

Another view on history

I know, for the most they seem to be "Russia". Long time part of the Soviet Union, somehow like Siberia. Regarding to the wildness it often does not really seem different, but Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia are entering the European Union in 2004. And as in all over the Eastern part of Europe shopping malls and private business spread. No, there are not the same as "the West" and they hopefully will never be. You will rarely see the red star of the Soviet Union, but hear about the fight of the people against the "invaders" and first of all the knights of the German order in the middle ages. You will see their castles and hear about the fate of the defenders. You will see, how the noblemen governed the land in the 17th-19th century. Feel the happiness of independence and the tragedy of war and the new times. Maybe it will change your view – but certainly you will enjoy the way the people celebrate their traditions.

 

3 or 1 or …?

It is common to talk about "the Baltic States" as one. But despite the fact that the three countries where for a long time part of the Russian empire and the Soviet Union, they have few in common. Estonia is close to Finland: By language, by landscape and by ferry – it takes you only some hours from Helsinki to Tallinn. Lithuania has a long common history with Poland and shares a lot of culture, religion and heritage. But not the language which is similar to Latvian. But Latvian culture is somehow different . Well, you see the problem. And I didn't even tell you about the region of Kaliningrad which belongs as an external territory to Russia and lies between Poland and Lithuania. Or the regional differences withIN the countries.

Meanwhile there are pretty a lot of interpretations, what the "BaltiCCycle" is. 

 

 

 

Time and space for some explanations

 

 

 

In der Zwischenzeit kursiert ein Haufen von Interpretationen darüber, was BaltiCCycle ist und was es macht.

 

 

 

Also wird es wohl Zeit für ein paar Erklärungen

 

 

 

• BaltiCCycle non commercial bicycle bicycle tours and mass events;
• BaltiCCycle as cooperation of NGOs for the promotion of cycling;
• BaltiCCycle as publisher and distributor of cycle maps and descriptions;
• BaltiCCycle as (international) bicycle rental;
• BaltiCCycle as private (commercial) company;
• BaltiCCycle as travel operator;
• BaltiCCycle as (international) project partner;
• BaltiCCycle as information (exchange) platform;
• BaltiCCycle as … fun of cycling;
• BaltiCCycle as international bicycle routes;
• BaltiCCycle as Frank "Frankas" Wurft

 

 

 

 

 

   Do you have your own interpretation? Don't hesitate to send it!  

 

 … And wait for the answer in winter 2010/2011 …
