GEISTERAUTOS im MOOR! - Mit dem Fahrrad nach Schweden #003 (Bikepacking

Hey guys, what's up and welcome to a new video on my channel. Today is part 3 of the bike tour and before we start I have a short announcement. My long-time partner Revolution Race has a really cool promotion at the start. And throughout November you can save a full 25% with the code AB25. So for everyone who is looking for new outdoor clothing for the fall and the coming winter, the perfect chance to save a little bit. I love these things and I'm wearing one of my favorite jackets right now, the Sherpa Fleece. Perfect all-rounder jacket for the fall, as I think. Hood is also with a start and that way it's always nice, cozy, warm and fluffy. At the bottom I wear the Field Pro Warm Outdoor Pants. Brand new in the Revolution Race range and a pair of pants that are also perfect for the colder season. You definitely notice it right away, especially when you're out and about, that the inner fleece makes sure that the heat is not lost. The pants are also treated with DWR, which means that it is also a bit protected against moisture. It is very robust, has many pockets. So, as I think, the perfect pants if you are looking for something nice and robust. Now especially for the colder season, which keeps you warm outside. Of course, there is also the right jacket, namely the Field Pro Outdoor Jacket. The pants and the jacket are suitable for about minus 10 degrees. So, especially in the set, I would say the perfect combination for the next winter adventure. Take a look at the page of Revolution Race yourself. I'll put all the information in the video description at the top, as always. And with the code ABI25, as already mentioned, you can save 25% on your order throughout November. If you feel like it, just check it out and I would say we continue with the third part of the bike tour. A few weeks ago I started my first multi-day solo bike tour. It should go about 1,000 kilometers from Hamburg to Stochholm in the next 7 to 10 days. But not only that I will be on this tour alone for the first time. By the way, I started a little self-experiment. During the time of the trip, I will completely give up my social contacts and any distractions for the first time. No cell phone, just for navigation and filming. No social media, no headphones, no music. Just the bike, my thoughts and me. Somehow it's a very special feeling to start now. I think a very special time will come to me in the next few days. In this fast-paced time, in which we can simply scroll our thoughts away and being alone and bored have become our biggest enemy, I'm curious what that will do to me. Do you know what it's called when you've understood that? Life! After my start in Hamburg, the way led me along the Baltic Sea to Fehmarn, where I took the ferry to Rødbyhorn in Denmark. Along beautiful alleys it went on, over dirt roads, country roads and countless bridges. I don't know what else to say. The day is getting better and better. Definitely about 25 kilometers to Copenhagen. As always, I'm just going straight ahead. I'm actually just driving one straight road. It's still a bit along the water. And then we're actually earlier than expected in Copenhagen. The third day ends for me in Helsingör, the city at the narrowest point of the Öresund. Sweden was close at hand. Day 4 starts in an accommodation right at the port of Helsingör. Not only the batteries of the camera urgently needed new juice, also a shower was so slowly bitterly necessary. With the ferry it went over a short time later to Helsingborg in Sweden. So, 20 minutes later, we're in Sweden. Hey, hey, from Sverige. Oh, and for those of you who are interested, the ferry leaves in half an hour, takes about 20 minutes and costs 7.50 euros by bike. I don't know if you could theoretically go back with that. But I think so. I think it's like the other ferry to Denmark. The first kilometers in Sweden took me quite quickly out of the city and away from the water, into the country. With its about 10 million inhabitants, Sweden is one of the thinnest-settled countries in Europe. Just 24 inhabitants make up one square kilometer. For comparison, in Germany there are 236. The streets became quieter and forests and meadows became my new companions. Oh, I love these streets. Nice gravel road, but still very easy to drive. Beautiful landscape, meadows, hills. Every now and then a little house here in the middle of the forest. And through it leads this peaceful, lonely gravel road. But you definitely notice, now here already in the first kilometers, well, a few are already, I don't know, 50, 60 or so, that I'm driving through Sweden, out of the city. It's definitely getting more and more unpopulated. You can see the roads here, wonderful. Of course, it's not the whole country that is like that. In between you have villages, but they are usually very, very small. From today we have to time a bit with the supermarkets, that you take good care of yourself and look early enough in the evening, where you can control the last supermarket. Of course, the further north you go, the more thinly populated the country is. We are now more in the south, to Stockholm, where everything is still possible. But you definitely notice it, you notice a difference. Not so many people who come your way here anymore. The next few hours mainly led me over small gravel roads, past abandoned farms, and I met more animals than people. So, other animals than humans. During a short break on a field, however, something strange occurred to me. Guys, I'm just peeing here, and over there you can hardly see sheep, and I'm very unsure right now, whether that won't come up back there. There are also these warning signs on such meadows, I know that in Germany, when sheep are lying on their backs, that you should somehow help them. So it looks to me as if it won't come up anymore, right? I'm going to go up to the farm up there and let them know. Hello? Somebody here? Oh, man. Shit, it's still there. Who knows how long it's been there. There is no one here. But I can't go over the horse meadow now. I have to do something. Okay, **** it. I'm going over the fence now. The farmer will understand that. Are sheep attacking? Actually not, right? If I go to the meadow now, one doesn't look so happy, he's looking at me. Yeah, I don't know what else to do now. There is no one here. I have to do something now. It definitely won't come up anymore. I probably just have to give it a push. I've never done anything like that before. But I know that some sheep can be greedy. I'll make a big arc here. They were all very loud here just now. There he is back there. He can't turn around 100% alone. Guys, I've never seen anything like this in real life. I only know all these warning signs that sometimes stand on pines so that the sheep can't turn around. Okay, now he's panicking because he sees me. He hears me. Now he's scared. Maybe he'll make it. I'll help you, colleague. All right, please don't. Yes, yes, yes, yes. I'll help you. Yes, great. Very good. Yes, colleague. I just helped you. Dude. Adrenaline. Boy, don't yell at me like that. I saved your life. Madness. Now he's standing there all confused. I don't even know how this happens that sheep sometimes can't turn around. Whether that's because they have too much wool or something. That they can't get up anymore. I don't know. No idea. One thing is for sure. You've seen it. A very small bump. It helps sometimes. And that's enough for the sheep to turn around again. If I hadn't stopped here at this hut to pee here, I would have heard that this sheep makes such strange noises. Then I looked there and saw that it was scrambling around. Who knows, then the thing would have been dead for a few hours. Hey, what an action. Take care, my friend. Maybe that was his way of saying thank you to yell at me like that. The fact that bred sheep are lying on their backs again and again and can no longer get up on their own may sound funny at first. But if you look closer, it's nothing more than that. The fact that animals are sometimes helpless has only to do with properties that people have bred them to or away. So we took the ability of the sheep, for example, the ability of his ancestors to change the fur completely normally. Especially in the hot summer months the skin itches under the weight of the fur. The animals throw themselves on their backs to scratch themselves and can no longer get up on their own in some cases. But not only the thick fur makes it difficult for some animals to get back to the horizontal. Many so-called meat breeds have a particularly wide cross and short legs that make it even more tedious to straighten up. Pregnant animals have it even harder. If no one rushes to help, the sheep now faces a painful death. In the panx, in the stomach of the sheep, digestive gases accumulate that suppress the animal from the inside and slowly suffocate it. With a small, careful shovel you can help the sheep to straighten up again. By the way, to sustainably do something against this suffering, you can simply give up animal products such as wool, milk or meat and choose alternatives. A little later, the supermarket is found and I present my purchase of I got a little more on purpose I think we'll get water somewhere on the way fill up here a few tomatoes I still have half a pack of spaghetti somewhere in there which will be available this evening together with the tomatoes and the vegan Greek cheese here banana and apple for in between here again a little something for a quick sugar shock can of baked beans that comes with the noodles and guys, that's it I love this bread absolute favorite bread the backpack has already paid off made it's really great so you can still eat a little now just for the less populated areas I prefer to have a little more food in my backpack Oh, and if you really need it I still have the Grail water filter with me then I can just go to the lake and prepare a little drinking water filter so water-wise I should be quite well equipped with the many lakes that are here we leave the next bigger place Hesleholm and I set myself a small goal on the map looks quite exciting could be a pretty cool place to sleep however, there are still a few kilometers until then and I hope that we will reach it in the light that would be really cool I'm really looking forward to it turbo banana is at the start so nothing can go wrong looks like I could make it the sun is just disappearing on the horizon a really nice sunset and there are still 5 kilometers to the place that I have chosen and I hope that's something it's getting chilly oh guys I don't even know where to start I'm completely out of myself I made it I'm at the place I really wanted to go it was worth it I don't even know what to tell you I put on my jacket because it's really chilly especially when you're sweating it's so wonderful we're in the middle of the forest now I could cry I don't need to say anything really that's why I wanted to go to Sweden on my bike do you hear that? me neither a nice table and another table and a nice shelter it's a small fire place and that's my shelter for the night I'll put my tent back in there like I did last time someone even left a tarp here it's really nice oh you can close it probably when it's raining I don't know here's a folding spade probably for going to the toilet I don't know and what's that? someone forgot his cutlery or is it for the public? well on the board are some information how to behave in Sweden everyone has the right that means nature is accessible to everyone and as long as you respect nature and respect others you can sleep outside there are even huts with firewood I know how to run my business in the forest here's the folding spade so you don't leave your trash you know and so on and this shows how modern this place is probably because there are a lot of canoeers in the summer I've never seen a firewood you can download an app and buy firewood I've got my phone I'm on social media detox and I've downloaded all the apps and messages I'll download the app and see if there's firewood 40 Swedish crown and let's see what happens no way that's not possible that cost 3,60 Euro Sweden I love you and that's not all I have to run again the fire is burning meanwhile it's completely dark there's the moon in the water beautiful the first stars appear that's a goosebumps moment the fire is burning enough firewood and my camp for the night cozy, isn't it? and what makes it even better? the pasta that's a goosebumps moment with the stars the fire I think I've arrived I've been here all the time it's been fun but this is my favorite evening if you can say that I don't want to say much the day was awesome I sweated a lot the fire dried everything the night should be fresher but I've found a nice place to sleep I'll eat and then I'll go to bed and then it's time to say good night the road is cold sun on our skin sleeping under stars when it's cold I was just calling to see if you're free to run away with me to run away with me the baked beans are sizzling some bread some hummus and breakfast in bed with this view what else do you want? I don't know what it was maybe the mystic forests around me the silence or the foggy lake maybe the experiences of the last days probably a mix of everything but this morning I had the feeling that the fog in me was dissolving what could be more beautiful than these beautiful Swedish mystic forests covered with moss these forests have something special something fairy-tale look at the rocks covered with moss the sun shining through a beautiful forest a few birches leaves, firs I don't know how often I've said it on this tour that it's so beautiful but seriously the world and nature is beautiful it doesn't matter where you are the most beautiful is in every little grassland in every stone in every tree it's so beautiful you get into a different mood in the morning nature is a miracle if you think about it look at this how did this happen? how could this happen? something breathtaking it all works because it's an eternal cycle an ever-repeating cycle in which every little thing every little plant fulfills a purpose and now you can see it like this it just happened the other planets and in the end nature is just nature it doesn't want to be beautiful it doesn't want to be liked look at this this little overgrown bridge I can't believe it nature doesn't want to be liked it doesn't want to be beautiful it doesn't want to be admired it's just there and in the middle of it we humans one of many animal species on this planet with the special feature that we can perceive it that we, this big whole which is actually just a habitat for animals a huge cycle of life and death and always the same hunt, eat, collect then something dies and feeds the next it's just a show place but we humans somehow developed the ability to perceive it this view of things I don't think that somewhere a fox stands in the forest and says look at this wonder of nature no, this is a habitat and I or we we can stand here and look at it and maybe the wonder is exactly in it that in the end everything is just as it is but it that is how we see it not that we see a tree or a stream but how we see it nature invites you to dream and now the leaves are falling in the autumn wind my god what did we humans do that we lost the view for all of this that we stare at screens it's not bad that we do that but that we do it so often that this becomes our new world that we only lose ourselves in hectic and in everyday life that it's only about so many externalities what kind of house do I have what kind of car do I drive it's all there we just forgot to see it or I think we didn't even forget we just forgot that it's there because so much other wants our attention all day because it screams here and here in our head and we distract ourselves here always distract always be somewhere else mainly not here because being here and now sometimes means pain because sometimes thinking means reflecting because it could suddenly be that you don't see things as you assumed how they are and we try to avoid that our brain tries to avoid that and that's why it loves routine and equality but our heart wants something else of course the head is important but the head can also put barricades in the way and I think that's crazy in the end two people can experience the same day from morning to evening and one says man that was a shitty day everything was ---- and the other says today was the most beautiful day of my life well guys maybe you should say that every morning let's make today the most beautiful day of our life you make today the most beautiful day of your life yeah around me feels so heavy but depleted but I find this the place to test myself cause it's here where I lay in my blanket of despair where I'm weak but I'm strong and black smoke fills the air where I'm burned and broken battered, bruised, I'm blind but I'm seeing I'm lost and found and almost drowned I'm so far from believing oh the streets just belong to me I've been driving for an hour maybe a little longer this street here and we are exactly three cars passed me you can just drive in the middle of the street nobody comes here I spent the rest of the day alone on the endless roads of Sweden good that I had some extra food for the last shopping through the colorful autumn landscape through tiny villages forests and past beautiful lakes oh so Sweden can cycle paths or just streets but this is a typical cycle path I have to say it's a very varied tour from Hamburg to the Baltic Sea by ferry through Denmark to the Baltic Sea this beautiful section before and after Copenhagen and now these dense forests everywhere colorful leaves colored by autumn huge lakes asphalt roads you can drive gravel passages through the forest up and down everything at the start what a ride and by the way we are going there it's a village in about 10 kilometers there is a special place on the map where we will stop when we are there look so we arrived not completely at the end of the trip but at the special place near Ryd this place has a story you will see more we are in a swamp and here lived a man who collected cars he died and the cars were forgotten they are still here in the forest slowly rotting all the way everywhere there are cars I think they were pulled out from the bog and put here so they don't sink and now it's like a museum with scrap cars or what is left here is a small workshop and there is a story I think the man who lived here was called Ake or Orke I don't know how to pronounce it but I will show you some information it's crazy no matter where you look everywhere car wrecks are pulling the way beetles eaten by the rust car doors in the trees a mystical place deep in the forests of southern sweden there is a place where time has stopped between moss, trees and rusty metal hundreds of cars are lurking which are slowly taken in and swallowed by the bog rusty wrecks from the 1930s to the 1970s Orke Danielsson a former peasant bought the forest at the end of the 1940s the business with the peasant became unprofitable so Orke concentrated on collecting cars at first he used the cars as spare parts later he just left the bodies because he couldn't dispose of them around 1990 he stopped the business because he moved to a nursing home in 2000 Orke died and his car collection is a testimony of the past and an impressive example how nature regains its habitat I think it's crazy when you are in places where you have been with a car it's been 3 or 4 years since I was here we spent the night with the car and the next day we looked at it and now I'm here with my bike I didn't expect that and on we go back to the country road that was our little visit here in the car cemetery Ritt or near Ritt I will drive down the road to the village there I will look if I can buy something and if I can pass somewhere where I can get food and then we will see where the wind will lead us to the swedish roads it should even if it doesn't look like it the next days will be really windy and rain let's see I hope the wind stays on our side so let's go
