Leben atmen - Marrakesch 4.1.0

The 2012 Cultural Cycling Journey from Obergriesbach to Marrakesh offers a compelling account of a remarkable travel endeavor. The narrators, Simone and Anton Ochsenkühn, undertake an approximately 3,500-kilometer journey beginning in the Wittelsbacher Land within Aichach-Friedberg district, traversing through Switzerland alongside Lake Constance, crossing the St. Gotthard Pass into Italy. Their route then proceeds along the French Riviera and through Camargue, aiming finally to reach Barcelona, Spain.

Plans include taking a ferry to Mallorca to explore this popular holiday destination for Germans, followed by a vessel trip to Ibiza. From there, they return via the mainland to Valencia and continue southward to Gibraltar. Upon arrival in Gibraltar, they transition to a ferry crossing into Tanger, Morocco, continuing their cycle towards Fes and approaching the Atlas Mountains en route to their ultimate destination in Marrakesh.

The journey commences on June 23, 2012, coinciding with the couple's eleventh wedding anniversary, and is expected to conclude approximately six to seven weeks later upon reaching Marrakesh.
