REBECCA SALENTIN - Iron Woman - 10.000 Kilometer mit dem Rad am Eisernen Vorhang

In the organizer's words:

Although her expertise ends with unscrewing a valve flap, Rebecca is taking on one of the greatest challenges of the European cycle path network: she wants to conquer the almost 10,000-kilometre Iron Curtain Trail, which leads from the Bulgarian-Turkish border right across Europe to the far north, always along the former Iron Curtain. In front of her are seemingly impassable mountains, lonely forests, numerous border crossings, picturesque villages with their mosques, Orthodox churches and magnificent imperial baths - not forgetting the sea time and again. But also Soviet secret cities, restricted military zones and relics from the Cold War era. Along the way, she is not only able to talk to a wide variety of people whose lives have been shaped by the dividing line and its disappearance, she also revisits her own family history. A cycle tour full of funny and touching anecdotes.

In the end, Rebecca is the first woman to conquer the Iron Curtain Trail in one piece.

Rebecca Maria Salentin is an author, journalist and presenter. She has published two novels, two non-fiction books and numerous essays, short stories and reports, including the Spiegel bestsellers "Klub Drushba" and "Iron Woman". As an absolute newcomer, she has won all German-language competitions for travel lectures. Thanks to many years of stage experience, she is a master of storytelling and can speak eloquently and pointedly about her experiences. She spins her humorous travel descriptions so skillfully with emotional anecdotes and cultural-historical backgrounds that the audience is swept away by a whole range of emotions.
