These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated: 1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:06,320 We cycled from Germany through 20 countries to Tajikistan and 2 00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:12,400 took you with us on our trip around the world in 20 videos, but this video shows the most incredible 3 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:18,080 and challenging stage of our journey. We are in Ghudara in one of the most 4 00:00:18,080 --> 00:00:25,200 remote places in the world you don't have to google it, it's here in the middle of nowhere, 5 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:32,200 it's four days of driving for us outside of civilization to the next village, but in an incredible 6 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:40,633 mountain backdrop, sometimes over 4000 m high, we're on the tour of our lives. 7 00:00:40,633 --> 00:00:49,200 Hans has had here, of all places, in the last few days 40° Fever and he’s not quite fit yet but we're trying our luck 8 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:55,344 So things are finally moving on, but I'm not sure if it's a good decision to continue driving today. 9 00:00:55,344 --> 00:01:03,320 I don't feel quite like it yet... it's kind of 50/50 Decision but at some point we to move on, 10 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:09,856 it's really a hard road. Franzy actually needs me 100% but today I need me 100%. 11 00:01:09,856 --> 00:01:18,600 I'm really excited about where we'll be tonight and the next nights and the next few days, 12 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:27,760 what's going to happen to us now . First mountain completed 1 km in 40 minutes. Apart from the fact 13 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:35,960 that being sick really sucks, I long for a challenge like this and it's 14 00:01:35,960 --> 00:01:43,360 not just stupid talk, I'm really serious about it, I believe in situations or for example today or 15 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:49,840 the next few days where you don't know how to manage it we can grow 16 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:55,160 We know that a bad decision in this area can be really dangerous because 17 00:01:55,160 --> 00:02:00,240 no one can help us here. That's why we wanted to decide on the way today whether we 18 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:14,760 should continue driving or turn back. The first piece was really challenging, but 19 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:19,240 now it's getting better and there are always such beautiful oases here. To be honest, I hate it 20 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:23,560 sometimes when Hans starts talking about 21 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:29,960 'finally it's a challenge that allows you to grow' and so on because I think for myself For me, every day is 22 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:34,040 a challenge and if it's challenging for him then of course it's 23 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:40,040 already way over the limit for me . He just said, 'hey Franzy, let's just stay positive, 24 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:45,840 just don't say anything bad anymore, don't think anything bad anymore' and yes, let's try that 25 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:51,800 now and I've been feeling much better since then and we'll manage it somehow! Let's see 26 00:02:51,800 --> 00:03:02,960 how long I can stay motivated like this. what a nice place for a lunch break. after 7 km. But we 27 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:09,800 also started late. yes, we started really late. 30km would be an optimal goal today because then... 28 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:17,680 no, we won't tell you. tomorrow - that's absolutely sick, let's see what's waiting for us tomorrow. 29 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:29,760 Look at those white glaciers everywhere. I'm telling you, there's so much energy this places give us 30 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:47,600 I think the place here is flooded every now and then, luckily it's 31 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:53,760 not really flooded today, but it's enough. can this still 32 00:03:53,760 --> 00:04:02,440 be called cycling? To be honest, I'm wondering if we missed a river crossing here or something 33 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:09,280 so we should have gone to the other side. I have no idea, did we 34 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:18,000 miss a river crossing? really because huh!? the Bartang Valley is feared for its many 35 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:29,720 and large river crossings but we are lucky the water level is currently very low 36 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:46,880 hey what is that? That looks like a huge mudslide that 37 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:53,480 came down from up there, right? but so much down to the river? That's so strange because the bushes are still growing everywhere here, 38 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:59,640 these little ones, but nothing grows there anymore, that means there's really been a huge avalanche, 39 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:07,920 in any case, our path is no longer passable, holy, 40 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,560 look at what came down there The water 41 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:18,120 is probably drinkable but we 42 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:22,189 still use a water filter, we'd rather be on the safe side, 43 00:05:22,189 --> 00:05:29,640 it looks kind of 44 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:36,680 like sea buckthorn. Well, of course I won't try it now, I don't feel like dying here in the 45 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:41,240 middle of nowhere, if we had somehow internet we could google it. Because it 46 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:59,640 really looks like that or am I completely wrong? I only know the picture of the juice box. Me too! 47 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:25,240 one of the most beautiful places, if not the most beautiful place I've ever been, because it 48 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:29,760 also feels like you fought for it, you know? Yeah! Of course I have 49 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:35,760 flown to some places... e.g. Cambodia was really nice but coming here 50 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:41,280 where almost no one gets there, I'll say, I don't know, it just feels so cool, 51 00:06:41,280 --> 00:06:46,400 we're just not making any progress. So we stop, I don't know, for every 500 m 52 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:59,520 and have to take it in first. the jaw is constantly down. just jamming. 53 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,080 That's not going well, 54 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:29,520 no! Dude 55 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:56,760 , we're here at the shepherd's house. Someone 56 00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:01,880 told us that there is a wall here from the old shepherd's house and there is also 57 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:09,800 a small windbreak up there for stranded exotics like us, but I think we 58 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:21,820 are camping somewhere in the meadow here, that would only be if there is a real storm, which is what happens a lot here, 59 00:08:21,820 --> 00:08:30,338 so now there's another delicious soup. 60 00:08:30,338 --> 00:08:44,640 Our petrol stove is not working properly, it always turns off, so we already suspected that 61 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:48,200 at some point on the trip it wouldn't work anymore and it's really difficult to repair it, 62 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:55,240 but now is really a bad time because there are no grocery stores here. We have to 63 00:08:55,240 --> 00:09:00,440 cook for the next few days, we only have stuff left that needs to be cooked... it turns 64 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,200 off as soon as you pump or what? No, sometimes it just switches off and then I shake it a little 65 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:11,600 and then it comes on again. There seems to be a blockage somewhere. Oh damn, it really 66 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:18,440 couldn't be worse. Crap hey. I'll have to get to it tomorrow. We do 67 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:23,080 n't have internet either... I have operating instructions with me, but will I be 68 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:31,920 able to do it with them? Oh man, we can cook with wood. true. but from tomorrow we will be 69 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:41,640 at 4000 m there will be no more trees. it does not work anymore. but has already 70 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:52,360 cooked. Our tent is down there and here is this windshield 71 00:09:52,360 --> 00:10:00,160 , I call it a little shelter. really cool if we had known that sooner, I think we might even have 72 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:08,840 pitched the tent here, small fire pit, wooden roof and really cool, above all, you don't notice any breeze at all, 73 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:15,640 you hear it but you don't feel it. Down on the meadow is also nice. It was really 74 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:21,160 a successful and beautiful day. I actually didn't expect it, I was super 75 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:28,960 unmotivated the first 3 kilometers where it took us so long and it was so rocky. The 76 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:34,120 first 3 km were really damn hard and I wasn't feeling well even then, but it improved as 77 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:38,400 the day went on. Most of it really just comes down to what's going on in your head. 78 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:44,440 I notice this so much in myself. I'm often like, 'Oh, I'm not motivated and how am I supposed 79 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:49,880 to do that? and I can't do something like that' I often have these thoughts and 80 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:55,080 Hans somehow always tries to change my mind and sometimes he succeeds and 81 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:59,240 when he succeeds, it really doesn't matter how strenuous the day is, I laugh all day 82 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:09,400 and if I approach it with the attitude that everything sucks anyway, then nothing works. How you feel depends 90% 83 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:13,534 on your head. That's just really a weapon, but the tables can also turn. 84 00:11:13,680 --> 00:11:27,960 Good morning, it's cold as hell but incredibly beautiful here as the glaciers 85 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:37,960 are lit up. Today is day X today is gling to be really challenging 86 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:45,320 we have to push the bikes for about 5km up the mountain. We have huge respect. 87 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:53,880 so breakfast the 88 00:11:53,880 --> 00:12:01,400 last reserves of bread. This is rock-hard bread, I don't know why it was only baked yesterday 89 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:08,680 . I have no idea, it's around freezing point right now... Nutella and it's delicious 90 00:12:08,680 --> 00:12:29,291 I'm looking forward to it. Really great jam as a farewell present from Hamros (our host). 91 00:12:29,291 --> 00:12:32,400 Let's get ready to push! 92 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:59,120 And this with two bikes…. Oh dear... oh shit 93 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:20,240 it's all ok? I'm still alive. You are still alive? Really crazy, so I just 94 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:27,840 Pushed myself up while standing, but I have no idea if that was a good idea. I'm going to continue in the bend. 95 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:34,212 Is it also steep there? No, that's fine, but up there we have to push again 96 00:13:34,346 --> 00:13:45,840 Franzy like this: 'Look there! There's a red bird' I thought she was seeing a snow leopard because there 97 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:54,000 are still a few of them so it's one of the last reservoirs where they still exist and in the village where we were they 98 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:59,160 explained to us that they see one every now and then When they get old the animals 99 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:04,400 rather go down to the village and hunt donkeys. is easy prey, that's why they have so 100 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:09,652 many dogs there, because the dogs then attack the snow leopards. 101 00:14:09,652 --> 00:14:18,120 yes, press, press, press, yes, yes! 102 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:22,720 Wow, be careful. 103 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:33,025 And break. What? do you notice that I'm pushing? Yes , I felt dizzy all the time when I drive 104 00:14:52,140 --> 00:14:54,360 a short distance 105 00:14:54,360 --> 00:15:01,320 and I'm extremely hungry. Now we have to 106 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:06,000 take a little break and then we'll be able to do the last part, right Hans? 107 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:11,256 a few nuts, a bit of energy and then we move on. 108 00:15:17,260 --> 00:15:28,960 Hans must really love torturing himself when he drives up here, wow, 109 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,740 it's not that easy to drive at 3700m anymore 110 00:15:36,742 --> 00:15:49,880 Franzy, we've done it, now it's still slightly uphill. 111 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:54,890 Was that a sick thing? Yes 112 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:08,800 I'll briefly show you the street where we 113 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:22,760 are. It was a crazy thing. We really wanted to do it on our own at all costs and yes, I 114 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:27,360 wasn't sure that Franzy could manage it and now with my state of health 115 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:31,720 Fortunately, it has now been improved again. Now I stand up here. I could cry. 116 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:37,640 This is really the crown of the Pamir Highway that we have planned, 117 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,217 come here, come here. 118 00:16:40,217 --> 00:16:58,840 I can't quite believe we really did it. We are now 3800 m high, I wasn't even that high on foot. Dude, 119 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:06,920 since we've been on the road here in this Bartang Valley and some people have told us how hard this 120 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:12,800 climb is, I've always had my thoughts here and sometimes I was desperate 121 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:20,600 when even small sections have broken me down in some way. wow, it's really nice, really 122 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:25,960 motivating to be up here now and have really achieved that and now it feels 123 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:30,092 really free because this burden is lifted, that it will come at some point. 124 00:17:30,092 --> 00:17:37,440 you have quite a blank expression on your face. I'm exhausted. I'm also really tired, I 125 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,520 can't anymore, but now it's flat 126 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:48,040 until we get to the next stream and then we take a break to munch on something 127 00:17:48,040 --> 00:18:06,320 . Very nice there's a river down there, which means we can cook or at least have enough water for ourselves. That's where we're going now. these rare descents here are incredibly beautiful 128 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:14,520 wow what's going on here what's going on here 129 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:20,602 every little stream becomes more and more important to us the higher we go 130 00:18:20,602 --> 00:18:35,197 Drinking water is the most valuable thing we have and there aren't that many options for filling it up anymore, 131 00:18:35,197 --> 00:18:42,197 dude, what's that for? a straight campsite? Yes. I thought we'd take a lunch break, it's not quite as sheltered from the wind, but.. 132 00:18:42,197 --> 00:19:07,560 okay, let's stay here. Wind-protected lunch spot. goodnight 133 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:22,080 , well I'll tell you like it is, we're so happy to have this gravel road, it finally feels like a gravel road and not like a 134 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:30,928 brutal stone track. Oh, you can make quick progress here, we're flying, 135 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:53,760 wow, now we're here on this big high plateau we were 136 00:19:53,760 --> 00:20:04,421 surrounded by mountains for the last 10 days but now to have this foresight, wow and up ahead are the first 6000m peaks, 137 00:20:24,404 --> 00:20:32,243 what kind of surface is that? like asphalt. We haven't had that feeling for weeks, 138 00:20:45,253 --> 00:20:55,595 it's so incredibly fun here, one of the most beautiful paths ever, crazy, 139 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:10,440 we're still looking for a place to sleep, it's very windy as you can hear or see, 140 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:15,480 oh yes, the tailwind was really nice and we really 141 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:22,680 have to realize all of this the whole time I almost pinch myself that this is happening 142 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:34,720 crazy, it's so beautiful I could cry. It's quite a struggle to put up the tent, it's really quite a storm here 143 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:42,360 or gusts of wind. Let's hope that it will die down soon. At least the wind will die down at night. 144 00:21:42,360 --> 00:21:49,120 We've now secured the tent here with the cord. Pegs are thundering in everywhere and 145 00:21:49,120 --> 00:21:58,560 stones have been placed on it. It has to hold Hopefully and again I have no idea whether that will help 146 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:07,819 building a stone wall. but Franzy, how is it in the tent? great! Really? Yes. I'm really proud of myself 147 00:22:07,819 --> 00:22:18,960 tent seems to be holding up. The wind usually decreases in the evening. but what a day, what 148 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:28,520 a day. exhausting, beautiful and hungry. Oh yeah. I'm so hungry, I only have oatmeal. 149 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:35,520 It's too windy to cook. and you would have to repair the stove first… that 150 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:43,280 's right, oh dear. Yes, and oats would fly away outside, that's why we eat in the tent 151 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:55,290 Now it's not an all-inclusive Türkiye vacation. but the view, the view a 5 star view. 152 00:22:55,290 --> 00:23:03,760 Good morning. We slept for 11 hours, it's amazing, so we 153 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:09,360 slept like a log, I don't know if it was because of the altitude. yes, maybe it was 154 00:23:09,360 --> 00:23:16,040 a tiring day, but yes the tent is being lit up really nicely. The sun is 155 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:21,410 already coming out and I thought it was actually getting colder, but it was pretty cozy, 156 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:51,200 We’re moving on again, we've just had a discovery, we've been 157 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:58,000 offline for about two weeks now and had no internet reception, nothing at all and we're just noticing how 158 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:04,280 we're really slowing down, so Instagram, Facebook, YouTube videos we like to do that 159 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:09,840 , but it only took us two weeks not to 160 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:13,960 hear about it. I really notice how I have found my peace of mind again 161 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:20,440 and that now even if I start again I have to try to somehow find a better balance 162 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:25,720 , but right now I'm looking forward to making another nice post, 163 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:31,232 to make nice videos, to google something again to be able to do what interests you. You have to 164 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:39,639 say that, I don't know if we've ever both been as happy as we are right now when we see this. 165 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,747 We now leave the 6000m peaks on the right and continue along this little stream 166 00:25:20,747 --> 00:25:31,380 and we finally have water again. Where are we going? to Lake Karakul at 4000m 167 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:31,900 I think we'll reach it tomorrow and that's also the end of the Bartang Valley, 168 00:25:31,900 --> 00:25:43,960 how cool I just saw a marmot running around here. They look a little different than ours, they're 169 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:51,000 yellow-orange and the tail is totally black but it was definitely a really cool marmot, 170 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:52,823 hopefully we'll see some more. 171 00:25:52,823 --> 00:25:58,998 I always find it not that easy to coordinate with the water to get by 172 00:25:58,998 --> 00:26:03,772 because sometimes there are really no streams for 50 km and 173 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:07,960 50 km sometimes means 1-2 days. We'll have to look a bit 174 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:16,529 , so I would say that building a lot of stalls as a child is paying off. 175 00:26:16,529 --> 00:26:26,840 We're currently running out of energy and we're exhausted because we've 176 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:31,720 only eaten oatmeal and a bit of bread for the last few days and now we have to see if the 177 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:38,480 Stove works but if it doesn't... well we just have pasta and onions that would be 178 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:47,160 completely sufficient. do you find something? I just have no idea how to unscrew the whole thing and 179 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:53,560 screw it back together again. So far so good, at least there's a fire, please work! 180 00:26:53,560 --> 00:27:03,760 and I have no idea why the stove is working again but the main thing is that we can cook. It's 181 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:09,591 interesting to see how priorities change when you really depend on it. 182 00:27:14,595 --> 00:27:20,600 Okay, it's working now. has to last another 12 minutes. 183 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:30,600 really cold here. We have now made ourselves sun protection here, but we are now freezing because of the wind. As soon as the sun is gone, it's cold. 184 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:35,120 totally cold. In any case, we just put the noodles in and the package says 185 00:27:35,120 --> 00:27:40,480 they need 12 minutes but I really notice that the water just 186 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:45,080 isn't getting as hot as it should normally because we're so high up so we're going to leave them 187 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,880 in there a little longer let. I think they need 15 to 18 minutes to cook. 188 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:55,880 Be careful, they will foam over immediately. Yes, the noodles don't look that appetizing. a nasty soup, 189 00:27:55,880 --> 00:28:08,200 why exactly? We are at almost 4000 m and the pasta water doesn't get really warm anymore and then 190 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,512 it becomes a really disgusting broth. I think that 191 00:28:11,512 --> 00:28:23,516 the quality of the noodles is also really crappy. So it falls into the edible category. That's a good thing. 192 00:28:23,516 --> 00:28:28,680 when I see the bikes like this. I don't know, I love looking at them. After half a year, I still think 193 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:36,400 the bamboo is really nice and I mean we've been 194 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:43,080 on gravel and extremely rocky roads for over a month now and 195 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:48,200 you can actually say that bamboo is a suitable frame material because 196 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:58,040 I don't think there's a best test ride than how we do it 197 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:28,040 no why is it so deep 198 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:39,560 wet feet number 20 oh no. There are really nice big marmots again or are they 199 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:46,840 marmots? They have such a big bushy tail. whether they can be filmed close up? 200 00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:51,880 I would like to show you, I'll give it a try. The marmots are extremely shy and as soon as they 201 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:58,200 see us from a distance they scream and everyone is gone, but one of them probably didn't see me coming. 202 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:03,440 I set up the camera here in front of their holes in the ground and wait 20 minutes. We're back there and 203 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:13,600 lo and behold, that's it someone gets out of his cave. Hans is somewhere 5 km behind me because he really 204 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:14,100 wants to capture the marmots with the camera, with the GoPro, that's not that easy, 205 00:30:14,100 --> 00:30:27,960 okay, so we actually wanted to drive over this very safe bridge. Dude, what a… 206 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:32,320 what is that? all the nails sticking out... but we take 207 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:37,320 a little detour because we saw two houses in the distance. We heard that 208 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:43,200 a shepherd family lives here somewhere and 209 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:48,120 we are very fascinated by people who live in such incredibly remote places. we really want to visit her. So let's see where 210 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:57,920 we are now, here is a little house. from the other smok comes out and there is the yurt house. 211 00:31:02,276 --> 00:31:02,776 Stay overnight? Yes. Sleep? Yes. Thanks! 212 00:31:02,776 --> 00:31:09,615 It's really crazy here, totally cool with his beautiful hat. Franzy we are at 4000m 213 00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:28,080 and sleeping in the yurt tonight, that's so cool. Here comes mom, maybe 214 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:35,040 we just saw the older woman doing laundry. I would like to get to know them all. 215 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:46,120 Here I believe that this is from Marco Polo sheep. We have heard 216 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:50,520 that you can see them here but the animals are extremely rare. what 217 00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:57,840 a horn. It's crazy, I imagined them to be much smaller to be honest. 218 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:06,480 they can't burn firewood here because there are no trees, that's why 219 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:15,280 all the flatbreads are lined up here to be burned and that's what it smells like when 220 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:15,780 it comes out of the chimney, so let's show you what it looks like inside. 221 00:32:15,780 --> 00:32:25,360 Flexible wooden poles are used for the frame of the yurt, the walls and 222 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:30,400 roof are traditionally made from materials such as linen, felt or animal skins, 223 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:35,320 and the skins of sheep and goats are best suited because of their insulating properties. 224 00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:45,457 How cool is that? Cool something is being woven here, a carpet? 225 00:32:50,461 --> 00:33:00,400 wow that's quaint. Oh, I'm just happy to be here. Wow, 226 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:08,200 that sheepskin on top. and the holes everywhere are cool too. God that this lasts. 227 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:17,320 We were already in a yurt camp in Kyrgyzstan and the yurts were really beautifully made, I would 228 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:24,640 say, but this is just so great, so authentic. original. I also think it's really original and 229 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:32,120 the top is open and there are holes everywhere but it's nice and warm here. 230 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:39,160 fits wonderfully. It doesn't get any better than that. I'm so grateful right now and somehow ca 231 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:45,800 n't quite believe that I cycled here to Tajikistan and am now 232 00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:57,720 sleeping in the yurt at 4000 m, which is just so beautiful and so authentic and wow. 233 00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:07,760 So there's food so I wouldn't have expected pasta here but they 234 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:15,120 somehow look like whole grain? I have no idea 235 00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:25,600 and just yogurt and guess that's butter for bread and tea. really cool, they manage 236 00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:31,520 to cook noodles better than we do at altitude, they are so delicious 237 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:39,040 with such broth and they are also spicy, a poem. Well, we have a really 238 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:45,640 hard time with yoghurt, it's extremely tricky, I don't think that's a problem. What does tricky mean? 239 00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:51,720 carbonated, right? Yes. We're always not sure if it's healthy. 240 00:34:51,720 --> 00:34:57,960 I think it's just fermented. I think it's just because of fermentation 241 00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:05,880 , but it's incredibly carbonated like Cola, it's really awesome. well we still have butter, I 242 00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:14,480 think yak butter and bread. This looks funny you and the teapot. It's nice and warm, it's warming me up right now, it 243 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:22,160 's really quite cold, so in winter it gets -50-60°, we were told, it's hard 244 00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:29,280 to imagine, so it's one of the coldest places here. Father Frost is a bit generous. 245 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:38,795 We're going to bed now, we're really tired. was a great day again. I'm excited to see what awaits us tomorrow. 246 00:35:50,771 --> 00:35:57,840 On the top of the mountain he was just showing us with his binoculars. We 247 00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:01,520 saw Marco Polo sheep, which is probably extremely rare and he was 248 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:06,880 also a bit excited. He came in and so 'come quickly' and 249 00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:11,840 was really lucky that we saw them. really cool, I thought a 250 00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:19,920 Snow leopard that would have been cool. That would have been awesome too. yes it is cold. we are waiting 251 00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:25,680 for the tea. I don't know, maybe we're just a bit effeminate, I don't 252 00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:31,440 know, it's a few degrees below zero here, it's so cold, what will they think of us when they see us like that? 253 00:36:34,439 --> 00:36:55,022 This is probably the toilet here, I imagined a bit more to be honest, very simple. 254 00:36:55,022 --> 00:37:00,560 This evening frost accumulated again on our bikes, it was 255 00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:07,520 pretty cold again and as you can hear there is ice in there. But it really felt like that too, so 256 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:13,840 we even really froze in the yurt, well, 'froze' it was okay, but it was really cold. I 257 00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:19,508 was happy about the second blanket that we were able to put over it, which they brought us 258 00:37:19,508 --> 00:37:24,600 yesterday. What a great experience to have been here. certainly one of the highlights of our 259 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:30,720 trip. Now we're off to hunt marmots again. We really want to 260 00:37:30,720 --> 00:37:38,456 get one really close on camera. This time we even set up two GoPros and this is the result: 261 00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:07,712 we are currently on the marmot hunt. 262 00:38:08,713 --> 00:38:12,416 this is a Martian landscape. It's unbelievable 263 00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:47,800 that it's so much more pleasant to drive here on the stone track or sand track than 264 00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:53,880 on this mogul road and it's really cool to drive. You just have to avoid these bushes 265 00:38:53,880 --> 00:39:02,080 , the water is definitely crystal clear and you can always 266 00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:09,600 see so many different colors of stone everywhere in the water green, red, blue… Tajikistan is 267 00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:10,100 also a mineral country and we have already seen so many crystals. 268 00:39:10,100 --> 00:39:22,920 In any case, you can see the lake there. no, that's a mirage okay I bet that's the 269 00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:29,400 lake I bet it's a mirage what do you bet? I bet €5. 5€? OK. 270 00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:38,640 I have no idea whether we're still in the right place here. All we know is that it's roughly heading in that direction, towards the mountains 271 00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:48,800 or the lake, but yes the road is becoming less and less roady here. getting smaller and smaller and just getting 272 00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:57,600 a little muddier. hopefully it continues. What are you looking for? the glasses 273 00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:02,560 as you can see the nerves are on edge because we can see the lake is getting closer and closer and that 274 00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:08,240 means Franzy is 5 € lighter. No, seriously, this path outshines 275 00:40:08,240 --> 00:40:14,480 all the bad roads we have had here so far, so the 276 00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:19,320 road was already bumpy. but we now have to turn right onto 277 00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:30,859 the almost invisible road. Oh shit, this is going to be funny, oh God, where are you taking us Franzy? 278 00:40:41,020 --> 00:41:00,720 partly you can just see the tracks where it goes oh no 279 00:41:00,720 --> 00:41:11,400 now comes mud Franzy now comes baf mud woah woah I'm at full speed woah shit 280 00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:25,000 woah the wheels are filled with mud and this white stuff I have no 281 00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:32,600 idea what it is maybe lime or salt I would say lime. Wow, what kind of mud field was that ? 282 00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:37,600 So we can't really find the road here anymore, we can continue over there 283 00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:42,640 but we don't want to cross the lake. There are a few tracks there too but there are no more tracks over there. 284 00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:52,479 Let's see if we can somehow fight our way through. 285 00:41:52,479 --> 00:42:02,760 You have to give it full throttle. Full throttle [laughter] is everything good? So 286 00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:14,842 it's just a drifting around that's what it looked like! [Laughter] 287 00:42:14,842 --> 00:42:30,721 so incredibly beautiful here wow wow but we're 288 00:42:30,754 --> 00:42:44,360 just looking for a place to sleep now, it's quite windy, there's a headwind, we really want to cook something. 289 00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:50,236 Having some kind of larger stone as a windbreak would be great, but there's not really a place 290 00:42:54,239 --> 00:43:02,920 that seems like a good place to sleep here OK, it's windy and it's crooked 291 00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:13,400 , but we have a stone to sit on, which is worth a lot. Wow, I can't stop being amazed 292 00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:21,406 . it's all ok? I'm done, it's nice but I'm done. 293 00:43:21,406 --> 00:43:33,837 I'm going to go fetch water in the lake now so we can cook pasta. Let's quickly go to the lake, the thing is a kilometer away. 294 00:43:33,837 --> 00:43:49,680 There's a lot of algae on the shore. I don't know if you can see it, but I can't 295 00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:57,040 use that for pasta water. I didn't expect that, 296 00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:03,120 how do I fill the water bag now? What we didn't know here is that the lake has 297 00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:09,520 no outlet and contains brackish water due to its high salt content. okay 2-3 m there 298 00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:17,640 was less algae in there but there is still some in there. have to filter the water again but hey 299 00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:22,320 we can eat. We don't feel like doing it with the right filter now because it's like that 300 00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:29,520 It takes a long time, that's why we're doing it now so that at least the algae comes out, hopefully 301 00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:36,840 it helps and then it'll be boiled anyway, the water tastes a bit strange... hopefully 302 00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:42,680 we haven't done any shit or I have taken the water out from downthere, but I 303 00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:49,030 know Not if water has boiled then it should actually be edible or drinkable, right? It doesn't matter what 304 00:44:49,030 --> 00:44:58,037 unless it's dirty but it was very clear now wasn't it? yes, it should be fine. 305 00:44:58,037 --> 00:45:02,960 Brackish water is or can be harmful to health. Luckily, because 306 00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:08,112 of the taste, we listened to our gut feeling and threw most of it away 307 00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:22,791 . Wow, it's going to be cold, yes, we're going to sleep, good night, see you tomorrow. 308 00:45:22,791 --> 00:45:26,960 Good morning. Good morning. 309 00:45:27,720 --> 00:45:33,280 We sleep here for 10 to 11 hours every night. yes, that's so crazy how long 310 00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:40,304 how long we sleep well, yes I don't know, I think it's because of the altitude that it's so exhausting for us, 311 00:45:40,304 --> 00:45:46,600 okay, so I'm going up this little hill there, 312 00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:51,840 it's about 4400m, I just looked no further. I don't have any water with me and 313 00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:57,920 we really don't have much down there. I can't do that to either of us. 314 00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:41,600 There were some really cool shots. Now I just have to find Franzy, I have no idea 315 00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:56,960 where she is and somehow everything looks the same in the scree field. Damn. Franzy! 316 00:46:56,960 --> 00:47:03,040 oh crap. oh dear. I just drove there because a stream was marked on the map, 317 00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:10,840 but it wasn't a stream... now I used the filter to get water out of the lake, you can't drink it, 318 00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:17,920 it tastes bitter, extreme, it really tasted really disgusting, we had one yesterday Made soup out of it 319 00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:22,160 and we had to throw half of it away because it had a really strange aftertaste, but 320 00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:27,680 we didn't get any stomach ache. I think it's because it was cooked. but now 321 00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:37,440 we are here. It takes us about 1-2 hours to get to the asphalt road where 322 00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:44,440 there is water and the two of us still have so much water that it's really a disaster. 323 00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:55,600 According to the information on our navigation maps, there should have been a stream up there in the valley that 324 00:47:55,600 --> 00:48:03,320 would have really made our lives easier. yes, there was no one now. We still have a sip, a little 325 00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:26,760 sip now we have to somehow get up the mountain and then I'm looking forward to water 326 00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:52,360 wow wow awesome wah those are these mega rare Marcopolo sheep again wow how they 327 00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:59,000 just raced over here. they race still up the mountain. the last water is not 328 00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:06,680 that much anymore. There's the Pamir Highway up ahead and we haven't seen it for a long time. 329 00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:18,510 I'm just getting a bit emotional after two weeks of getting through here and there's civilization up ahead, 330 00:49:24,515 --> 00:49:31,487 it's exciting the last few meters on washboard, there's tar up ahead. 331 00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:44,998 ah oh my god. Tar, tar! 332 00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:52,604 over a month of gravel and stone roads and now 333 00:49:57,608 --> 00:49:58,520 it's so smooth! 334 00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:07,040 yes, yes, now we just need water. You don't have to do anything, here's the proof: 335 00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:16,400 it just rolls, wow, that's strange Franzy, I really didn't imagine it being so crazy, it's 336 00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:26,640 unbelievable, it just rolls and the bags don't shake. That's correct. It's so silent. 337 00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:34,280 Wow crap, there was a larger river on the map here, for example, I didn't think it 338 00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:44,640 would be dry. Nothing works, that was a big river on the map. 339 00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:50,880 Then we have to get to Karakol somehow, quickly. Extremely dry throat 340 00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:57,160 or a car is coming soon so as soon as a car comes I stop it. a little 341 00:50:57,160 --> 00:51:07,000 water. OK. The car didn't come anymore but we're really on our toes, I 342 00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:17,538 really can't go there anymore. Hallelujah, I'm happy to see houses and people. 343 00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:48,920 Unfortunately the first well was contaminated but the children sent us to this 344 00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:56,520 well behind a school. Okay, that looks a lot better, that's clearly 345 00:51:57,600 --> 00:52:03,280 a 7 out of 10. You can drink it. Now they just called the shop because of us and 346 00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:10,960 opened it. Now we're shopping, we don't have any food left, 347 00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:18,360 oh man, I thought there would at least be an apple or pasta... 348 00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:25,120 where are they supposed to get an apple? I have no idea, we now have a whole pack of cookies, 349 00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:30,840 chips, garlic and cola here because we absolutely need a bottle because they are so old, 350 00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:36,800 our bottles and water bottles are simply not available anywhere here and 8 times soup noodles 351 00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:37,300 What should we do? We have to somehow survive to the first city in Kyrgyzstan. 352 00:52:37,300 --> 00:52:51,520 Karakol is behind us. That was a really big goal for us for a long time. and where are we going now? to China! 353 00:52:51,520 --> 00:52:58,120 yes, that's our next big goal but we definitely need a break again, so 354 00:52:58,120 --> 00:53:05,720 we're going to put our feet up in Kyrgyzstan for a few days and then we're off to China. 355 00:53:05,720 --> 00:53:13,120 Riding a bike to China is really cool. The Karakoram Highway from China to Pakistan 356 00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:13,620 is even higher than the Pamir Highway but as I said we are going first to Kyrgyzstan, 357 00:53:13,620 --> 00:53:23,671 we will reach the 4300 m high border tomorrow, 358 00:53:27,674 --> 00:53:32,449 about 40 km to the Kyrgyzstan-Tajik border. 359 00:53:32,449 --> 00:53:39,983 Now let's leave Lake Karakul. Bye, I will never 360 00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:56,560 forget the taste of you. That was disgusting. oh my god where is this storm coming from? and with a gradient of 15-20° 361 00:53:56,560 --> 00:53:57,060 we can't get to where we want today. Change of plan: get up early tomorrow. 362 00:53:57,060 --> 00:54:10,640 Wow, the wind is just too strong. We saw this stone down there, I think we'll take the option and camp 363 00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:16,200 there. There's no point anymore, there's no point in wasting your energy and even in the tent when it 364 00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:23,400 's so windy without wind protection it's uncomfortable. The stone there smiles at us and we take it. are definitely 365 00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:31,400 not the first to camp here. The wind often seems to be strong here. It's great here, not as far 366 00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:36,760 as we wanted to get but it doesn't matter. When you look at the lake down there you don't think 367 00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:42,040 we're that high, but we're just at 4200m Franzy. Now we'll definitely have 368 00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:47,960 some more soup and then we'll put up the tent. and I found a chair that works, it 369 00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:54,760 was lying here, a camping chair, show me. Wow, we haven't had something this comfortable for months 370 00:54:54,760 --> 00:55:08,120 . Enjoy your meal, we don't feel like washing our plates. We'll 371 00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:12,000 probably be in a guest house tomorrow so we can wash up. Here we don't have a 372 00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:18,429 river nearby and we have to save water, so now we're eating like two dumb heads. 373 00:55:23,433 --> 00:55:31,800 The last day is starting and we're literally flying on the asphalt road. Above all, we're looking forward to a shower and something different to 374 00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:37,360 eat. In any case, it will take some time until we 375 00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:45,920 have realized and processed this adventure . another such beautiful day wow. Wow, the fence just makes 376 00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:51,680 the landscape a bit annoying. We suspect that it was newly set up last year because of the 377 00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:59,000 border conflict between Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. We don't have 378 00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:05,385 an opinion on it, we just perceive it, but it's a shame because every war and every conflict is pointless... 379 00:56:05,385 --> 00:56:11,269 I'm really wondering where the border station is supposed to be over there, 380 00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:29,520 we're in the middle of the mountains. ah up there, up there it is. Passport control comes out of nowhere 381 00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:55,960 . It was a strange border crossing, everything was completely run down 382 00:56:55,960 --> 00:56:56,460 and there was a strange atmosphere there. Now we have 20 km of no-man's land. 383 00:56:56,460 --> 00:57:10,451 Now we go somewhere 20 km further in that direction until we arrive at the Kyrgyz border at the border post. 384 00:57:10,451 --> 00:57:14,320 At this point, the border with Kyrgyzstan was again closed to solo travelers 385 00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:18,840 , but we had already written an email to the government weeks ago, which meant that our name 386 00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:24,080 was on some list. After four hours of negotiating with the border officials, we were finally able 387 00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:31,067 to pass. Now nothing stands in the way, for our adventures in China and Pakistan 388 00:57:50,082 --> 00:57:56,320 what an incredible the last few weeks have been. Tajikistan really blew us away, 389 00:57:56,320 --> 00:58:02,200 it was so beautiful. the Bartang Valley, crazy and now we leave the Pamir Highway but anyone who thinks 390 00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:07,280 it won't be so exciting anymore is wrong. and thank you very much for 391 00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:11,240 watching, it's so cool that you're there, we're happy about every comment 392 00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:15,680 , every thumbs up, every support, I think we've 393 00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:26,787 become a really cool community now and see you in the next video, ciao ciao. 46432
