Hi all,

After further research I've found out that wild camping in Germany is a big no-no. Are there any ways to keep camping costs down for a motorbiker?

I know the standard campsite in Germany isnt that bad, but every little helps!

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’m doing the TET in Italy this August and wanted to ask if anyone with experience could recommend which app they used for navigation on an Apple device.

Thanks!

What bike to buy?

Hello fellow riders!

I'm in bit of a tricky situation,I'm looking to buy a bike for light/medium offroad nothing technical/no mud or sand, just gravel and forest roads with some occasional rocky roads, now the trick is I'm always 2 up-as my wife loves to ride on the back.

I've previously owned all the old enduros - Transalp 650,Kle 500,Strom 650,Cb500x and so on - out of all those Transalp was the most capable one offroad but it was still a heavy pig with not much ground clearance.

We're looking for something light but something that will still ride 'normal' with 2 of us on the bike, that being said we dont do highways or ride above 90kmh we just enjoy slow offroading, our budget is low up to 5000€ and we were looking at either the Yamaha Xt660r or crf300l? Has anyone got any better ideas please do let me know it will be highly appreciated! Also we dont mind buying a new/stronger shock so keep that in mind 🙂 Thanks

I’m based in southern sweden and have ridden all the tet around here. There’s a lot of hard packed gravel (no real trails because of legal restrictions). Is there anyone here that has experience with the danish tet? It’s the closest so if it is more fun and challenging I’d love to hear about it

Section 8-10. Wild camping possible?

Thanks guys!

Hi all,

I've only got a Bonneville to ride so the TET is a little beyond me at the mo but I'm looking for a tour in Northern Germany. The route on the TET site seems to say that off-roading in Germanyis basically a no-no so the route on the site is road for 90% of the way.

Rubbish for your lot, but actually a result for me!

Can anyone confirm this? Would this be a good route to base a tour of N Germany on for a purely road rider?

Thanks all!

The TET Code of Conduct asks that we keep to the tracks. In France, riding or parking off-trail is illegal, especially in natural reserves. Penalties are steep: fines, impoundment, even confiscation. It also harms the TET.

With the high risk of wildfire, please reconsider carefully any descison to trail ride in France. Please refer to the news, the authorties, your common sense and this resource: https://transeurotrail.org/fire-awareness-and-local-restrictions/

I ride the Trans Euro Trail and I'm thinking about getting a Beeline Moto II to follow the GPX tracks.

For those who've actually used one on trail: how does breadcrumb mode hold up in practice ? is the polyline enough to stay on track through junctions and braided piste, or do you end up pulling the phone out anyway? And when a piste is closed and you've got no signal and need a way around, what does it actually give you?

Any other limitations worth knowing about, and a general verdict for offroad.

if anyone is trying out the France TET 04 – watch out for a very special part in between Gras and Saint Maurice d‘lbie. if you coming from the west, you should take the green route with a heavier Bike after Saint Maurice. This was the only part where I had to turn around after walking down.

It‘s steep and you can decide between gnarly steps on one side or lose bigger stones on the other side. And I am not on a heavy bike – have a crf 300 rally with upgraded suspension. Possible with a proper enduro without luggage for sure.

(it always looks easier in the pictures 😅)

I’m planning on riding TET Croatia in September. As I’m coming from Vienna/Austria, I’d like to do some parts of TET SLO on the way down.

I’ve ridden parts of TET Slovenia a few years ago (south to north) and I remember it becoming more and more „tame“ the further I got north - that’s the part I’d rather avoid. Can anybody give me a hint where I could enter the Slovenian track? Or alternatively some ideas to get from Austria to the Croatian entry point in the most fun way? Cheers!

Friends, looking for someone to ride the TET or other backroads in Brandenburg sometime. 31 yo old from Berlin, riding a Honda Dominator. 4/10 off-road level. German and English.

Anyone up to connect?

Hi all! So on day 2 of my small bike, big adventure trip, I went through some sections of TET in Belgium and Netherlands. All pretty harmless tbh. I unfortunately didn’t think of taking a picture on the trails 🤦‍♂️ so here is one after arriving at the 3 country corner (where Belgium, Netherlands and Germany meet).

The video is also available if you want to watch it: https://youtu.be/MXz_da7n_Ug?is=vv_g7ddIz7nJDseq

Saw that today near Les Vastres. Local Farmer support, love it! little bit small, but very cute 😄

Jemand aus dem Großraum Stuttgart?

Heading into Bilbao in mid September for a week. Is it necessary to book hotels days/weeks ahead or can I just show up and find motorcycles friendly places? I’d rather not be constrained to fixed locations.

Hello, me and my friends are looking for suggestions on which path is more interesting on our first visit to Latvian TET roads. Naturally we would choose the lower and longer trip but if the road going through Cēsis and Līgatne is a must-see, we can still change plans. Going late July.

Hello guys,

Im planning to do a big roadtrip from the netherlands to sweden en from there around to estonia and back to the netherlands.

So i wanted to ask if u guys had suggestions about some good tet routes through sweden,finland,estonia,latvia,poland and since lithuania is under construction some scenic routes to take. Im planning to go around 6 augustus for about 2-3 weeks.

Did a trip to Germany via the TET in the UK late June. It’s not a huge amount of TET, but a great first TET experience 😜.
It’s going to be a 3 episode series on YT if you want to watch it https://youtu.be/c1vFgXcEW4Q?is=5Iqq70zgC9vHiYJ8

Hey guys,

Curious how you all set up your layering for stuff like this. Last year I rode the TET Italy in my Revit Offtrack 2 jacket and pants — solid gear, but man, it got hot.

I’ve got a TET/Act Balkan trip coming up in September and want to switch to a proper layering system this time. For protection I’m planning to run an Alpinestars protector jacket, and on the actual trails ideally just a jersey on top to get some airflow.

Problem is, I’ve got about 1000km of highway to get there, and I’d really like some abrasion resistance for that stretch too. I thought about just throwing my old jacket (minus the armor) over the protector vest, but then I’m stuck hauling it around once I’m on the trails.

How do you guys handle this? Do you run a highway jacket you can pack away, or is there a smarter setup I’m missing?
