Watch: Balkan Express
A one way ticket from Munich to Thessaloniki – this trip started with a simple journey. The Return leg however would be far more complex.
In an adventure to cycle and ski Europe‘s wildest mountains, mountaineers Max Kroneck and Jochen Mesle explore the Balkans as they seek the most beautiful lines and get to know the local mountain communities along a 2500km journey across ten degrees of latitude.
