Dunkirk to Croatia; Advice
 

Hi Guys I was hoping I could get some advice regarding my upcoming trip this summer. I will be cycling to my Dad's wedding in Croatia with a friend. I have some experience but my friend has none and if possible I would like as much of the route to be away from busy roads as possible. This is my plan, if anybody can suggest alternatives, detours, must see places along the way or whatever I would be immensely grateful!!

Maybe this online bikemap service (Belgium) may be somewhat of a guide to you:
Fietsnet: de Fietsrouteplanner voor de Knooppunten

E.g. search location ‘De Panne’ and start your journey from point no. 39

2700 km in 31 days, with a deadline? That seems rather ambitious. Weather delays, breakdowns, even a flat can throw off your schedule. Be sure to have a 'fall back' plan. For example, From Ljubiana heading straight into Croatia, and keep a link to the train schedules of all the countries you're going through
