A few facts about the trip

Why?

“Because I love cycling! Because I believe in the good in people. And because nature gives me strength,” writes Julius on his blog. He wants to leave a positive footprint with his life – and inspire others to become active themselves.

When?

Start: Summer 2025 – stage finish: West Africa by Christmas 2025. After that, the journey continues openly and without a time limit.

Experience?

Already cycled over 12,000 km and collected €15,000 in donations – on four major tours through Europe.

The route - stage 1:

At least 8 countries, approx. 10,000 kilometers, 30,000 meters of altitude, mountains, a strait and: crossing the Sahara.

Collecting donations for nature conservation

Diese Reise ist nicht nur eine sportliche Herausforderung, sondern auch ein echtes Herzensprojekt: Julius sammelt auf seiner Tour Spenden für den Naturschutz. Gemeinsam mit dem NABU begleitet er die Migrationsroute der Störche – eine faszinierende Reise, die er mit dem Rad nachzeichnet. He regularly reports on his experiences on his blog and social media to raise awareness of stork conservation.

Julius’ motivation is clear: “Because I love cycling! Weil ich an das Gute im Menschen glaube. And because nature gives me strength.” His goal: to leave a positive footprint with his own life – and to inspire others to become active themselves.

The starting shot will be fired in summer 2025, the first stage will take him over around 10,000 kilometers, through at least eight countries, over 30,000 meters of altitude, through mountains, across a strait – and even across the Sahara. And all of this by Christmas – after that, it’s onwards, with no time limit.

Julius has a wealth of experience: He has covered over 12,000 km on previous tours and has already raised 15,000 euros in donations. This world tour builds on this – with the power of nature, a lot of passion and a clear message.
