Aus Zagreb wieder rauszufahren war bedeutend einfacher und entspannter als der Weg in die Stadt im gestrigen Stossverkehr. Zuerst durch das Labyrinth der Wohnviertel, dann etwas, das mit seinen Glashäusern und diversen Gewerbebauten an Simmering erinnert und dann auf einem vorbildlichen Radweg ins Umland. Ab hier ist es vorbei mit der radfahrerischen Anarchie, es kehrt wieder geordnetes Landleben ein. Gemütlich schlängelt sich der Weg durch die von der Save geformte Ebene und nachdem die keine Siedlungsformen vorgibt, finden sich die Häuser einfach irgendwo, d.h. meistens entlang der […]
If you are in or around #Zagreb, come and listen to my talks at #dorscluc
The first one will be about bringing our fun back in our work lives by contributing to #foss projects like #Thunderbird Project with some #heavymetal inspiration.
The second will be for #OpenStreetMap on how to start as an absolute beginner and why to do so. I'll cover tools, ideas and show lots of examples.

#CrossBorderRail challenge: not sure what's going on on the Balkan re in Greece, but I am having troubles to find any connections from #Athens (or take Thessaloniki directly) to Rijeka (or again just take #Zagreb). Would love to do that journey over 3 days after Easter to see a bit of the countries, if needed even with a short stretch by bus if there's no train. The common sites provide no help (rome2rio, rail.cc, googlemaps), are all #trains gone? Quite annoying... cc @jon
