Seven countries where you can fully enjoy the charm of passing beyond by overseas cycling

Is not it fun to get sweaty and rise, cut the wind down, cross the pass with a bicycle? It will be that many cyclists sweat on their foreheads and pass over the mountains this summer in various parts of Japan. Similarly, overseas cyclists are climbing the Alpine Mountains and the Andes Mountain Pass.

Hello,Takuya Sudo @ circle around the world bicycle @ Charridermanis. When I was around Japan it was my self-defeating Hakone, but I can not say so if I run abroad. Even if the range that was visible was torn down by an endless uphill slope, it does not end there and it went to the next stage. While complaining that it is "misbehaving" "irresolvable", I managed to do something like that, so this time I tried collecting overseas countries where pass is enjoyable. Whatever suffering uproar, if you do not even give up, you will arrive someday.

◆ Switzerland
A European person who is excited by the scenery of the Alps screams with the feeling of "Yore Lore Robi Ho Yohidudi Yaho Ho". Switzerland, which I traveled in July this year, was full of summer, with a fresh nature that you can understand so. In the southern part of Switzerland there are few traffic volumes and pass roads are moderate, and it is the best situation to run on a bicycle. The image of the animation "Alps girl Heidi" that I saw when I was young is overlapped.

A beautiful church with unexpected voice.


As I go up the slope ...


With an altitude of 2046 mOver Alpu Pass(Oberalp pass) reached.


A lake was spreading near the pass.


The other side of the pass is a basin surrounded by mountains. To the far end, we go to the nineteenth-turn of a pass that I have to climb one more.


Downhill, I lowered the altitude much.


The next pass is a friendly sign with 8 km up at 13 km.


While looking uphill, look back on the way I ran.


I will go up the river of the valley floor and raise the altitude.


In the best view.


And at an altitude of 2430 mFuruka Pass(Furka Pass) reached. This day beyond the two big passes in one day was the culmination of the trip so far.


Direction of downhill.


I will go down at the forebrain in 90 minutes. Another Fukuoku folding that is visible in the back is not your own path.


This is a national highway that passes through the central part of Switzerland.


I came down from the zigzag way on the back.


Another day, I go to see the Matterhorn on a day trip. If you think that you can communicate as a generic name even in a foreign country, unlike French it is called "Mont Selvin". Matterhorn is derived from German.


Walking through the trekking route, there is a panoramic view of the city of Zermatt at the foot.


Banzai in the Matterhorn.


◆ Indonesia
Even in Indonesia who became the third country, I was massaged by the mountain road. I entered from East Timor and went to Jakarta along the island, but there are mountains on every island and it is going to be somewhat disgusting. Flores island, how many pass was there. Bali and Lombok Island also have large mountains, so Hill Climb is possible depending on the route. Even in Java Island where the capital city Jakarta is located, I was surprised to see Indonesian tourist spots in the place I tried to cross one big pass.

Although I did not expect it, I found a big town while I capture the pass.


There was a lake in the town called Sarangan (Sarangan), and it crowded as an Indonesian resort.


Boat and lake.


Mount RauIt is a route that crosses the side of independent peak of 3265 m in altitude called.


It is the same stratovolcano as Mt. Fuji, so you can see the surrounding scenery as the altitude rises.


From the town of Sarangan to the top of the ridge on a steep slope, it still pushed forward.


Arrived at the top in the fog.


There was a mountain trail to Mount Rau.


This is Flores Island, which was a single road heading from east to west, but it crossed over many passages.


There is a mountain like Mt. Fuji also on this island.


◆ Laos
Laos entering from Thai non-kai, the mountain road from the capital Vientiane to Luang Prabang, green was dazzling and it felt good. There was also a story about bus robbing by armed forces, and there was a government person holding a gun in the middle of the road, but despite that a lot of bicycle travelers came and go.

Running in a pleasing green.


In retrospect, you can see that it was on the same line.


Enjoy refreshing nature.


The goat is taking a break at a pizza place.


It was healed by small children who said "Sabadi, Sabadi (Hello)".


◆ Kyrgyzstan
Kyrgyzstan in Central Asia is also a mountainous country, located at an altitude of 1,600 mIshik Kul LakeI felt it was well going around, going around 3000 m class pass and two. If it is greedy, it will be 5000 m above the elevation of Tajikistan in the neighboring countryPamir PlateauI wanted to run, but as winter was near, I abandoned it. This area is crossing the Eurasian Continent and has become a popular area where the charriders running from Europe gather.

Homepage.


A large hairpin curve.


I will gradually raise the altitude from the valley.


The powerful scenery spreads.


A lot going up, the last stage.


If you climb up to this point, fewer mountains will be higher than yourself.


And near the summit.


Here go down the tunnel and downhill. It rose to the altitude of about 3100 m on the road which passed from the capital Bishkek to the southern Osh district.


◆ Armenia
Armenia in the Caucasian mountains entered from Iran has four passages to the capital Yerevan. From there there are two passages to Georgia and remembrance that crossed many passages. At the pass before Yerevan, a mountain like two large and small Mt. Fuji jumped in, and it got overwhelmed. It is said that Noah's Ark reached, stratovolcanoAraratoThe main peak of 5165 m, the small Ararat mountain 3914 m south of the south, the scenery with two gigantes lined up. I was in a hurry before dark at night, so regretting that I did not take pictures is regret. It was good not to snow in the first half, but the second half aimed at Georgia, it was hard to snow blow. Even if I go camping on the snowy field, the bike can not move and the night I went back to the town. For anything at all difficult, it has become a memorable country.

I worked hard and climbed the pass.


The way to go up the valley.



To the summit a little more.


In order to go to a town that can be seen far away, it is necessary to get off the valley once and then go up again. It is already troublesome when I understood this.


Uphill like F1 circuit.


Proceed along a winding road with a crowd.


And, planned city that I reached ·GorisTown.


From Goris, I had to go further. Anyway, as we cross over the pass, keep rowing even after the sun has fallen, and keep pushing if it becomes a strong headwind, then the red moon rises as it burns and loses the word to the mysterious sight. After all, I can not reach the top of the pass ... ....


It was a stay in midwinter, so when we escaped from Yerevan, a lot of snow was piled up.


A silver world that can not see anything even if it goes up the pass.


Reaching the summit.


When you step into a pure white snowy field, your shoes will fill up so far.


This guard rail also exists.


◆ Montenegro
Montenegro, which formerly former Yugoslavia of the Balkans, was the mountainous area from which the country name "Monte (mountain) + Negro (black)" originated. The boy who climbed up to the plateau in a city surrounded by snow, in cold weather, in spite of April. The road was tiring, but the scenery spread after it rose was exceptional.

The way along the river located at the bottom of the valley ......


Gradually raise the altitude ......


I am going up to such a high place.


Highland area where weather was bad and I felt lonely.


The boy playing in the city is also firmly wearing it.


Even in April it will be snowy areas.


Because it is such a scenery when it is fine, it is not just a painful thing.


It was a magnificent landscape.


◆ Peru
Since there is an Andes mountain range in South America, Pass can be enjoyed in any country, but Peru with the gradual slope of the road was the most. On the contrary neighboring Ecuador is steeply demon. With Peru, you can make use of many folds of folding folds, and the road is also easy to run so you can feel comfortable to rise as you realize the difference in elevation. There is also an Andean mountain range, and it is also attractive that a 4000 m high altitude comes out as a rugged rope.

From the Nazca in the coastal part, on the way to the Cuzco in the mountainous part.


The night when I was looking at the falling starry sky.


Alpacas like rice grains.


I came up from the city spreading under my eyes.


Hilarious to approach the blue sky.


When going from Cusco to Machu Picchu, you must cross the pass of about 4300 m.


If only this fold of folds overlapped, traveling was also fun.


Final stage. Beyond this point it was quick to the summit.


In addition to Tibet, also known as the roof of the world, Ladakh of India, Hunza of Pakistan, there are places where long as a charrider admire. It is similar in Japan, and when it is around Japan, I crossed the Mikuni Pass in Hokkaido, Shibu Pass in Nagano Prefecture, Makino Pass in Oita Prefecture, but there are many places I would like to go yet.

Pass that attracts cyclists and stops. Somewhere in the world today, it is likely that someone is out of breath.
