Wow! what a heartbreaking intro story! 😲🤔
wow, great performance, great pictures, great adventure, thank you so much for being a part of it.
Thanks for the kind words :)
That was hard work. Sending you lots of respect. I love it when your meal is ready and you both smile and tap your cooking/eating bowls together in salute. It is a beautiful gesture
Thanks, I guess that's our signature move 😀
Moin zusammen,
thanks for the wonderful pictures. Reminds me of my trip there. Very good idea to involve also the history lesson. Except of some people in Germany and Russia, noone knows the background.
Habt eine gute Reise ! Grüsse
просто бомбический выпуск👍👍👍
Somehow it always pulls you back to the roots of origin...I am currently very busy with my past.
Thanks for your great video
Simply beautiful. Congratulations for the images, for the song, for the peace that the video passes! And of course, the challenges of cycling in inhospitable places, with wind, rain and cold!
thank you for the kind words =)
The Kegety Pass! Woooooooo! I was thinking of riding it, but I've changed my mind now. Cheers, from Australia!
My utmost respect to both of you, especially to Moni. What an extraordinary woman, traversing through such treacherous terrains.
Wonderful. No words are needed to describe where you were. Stay strong.
You two are so brave and strong to climb that pass. I felt like I was there struggling with you.
Was für ein schönes Video!!! Diese Landschaften, die Stille, keine inflationäre Musik, kein Gequatsche, bei der Ankunft auf dem Pass - der Mut zur Stille! Wie wundersam. Man kann ahnen, wie groß die mentale und körperliche Anstrengung war. Und dann das Lächeln, nur das Lächeln. Und die Idee und Länge der Reise. Ich bin so bewegt und froh, dass ich dieses Video entdeckt habe. Ich werde auch die anderen suchen. Ihr seid schöne Menschen. Ich wünsche euch viel Glück, Gesundheit und noch viele schöne Reisen!
Danke dir für den lieben Kommentar und die Wünsche. Schön zu hören, dass es dir gefallen hat =)
The Kegety pass ascent is absolutely epic! It reminds me of the Lord of the ring! Bravo! 💪 for the performance
The photos interlaced with the video were great! The still shots really captured the moments, you could almost feel them.
Thanks for the kind words 🙂
Such a beautiful landscape and desolate roads - what an epic adventure. So glad I found this channel - I can't wait to Bikepack this part of the world!
Thanks :), Kyrgyzstan is just a dream to cycle..can't wait to go back
@@HenryMerk Yes I heard this! I was speaking to a guy yesterday who has just cycled it! Once I I have finished SE Asia I will go!
Yes you made it!
I’ve been waiting for another video from you guys and it’s worth the wait. You don’t talk much but you make up for it with your amazing presentation skills. I will keep watching your videos as long as you keep them coming. Be safe on your journey.
Thanks a lot, appreciate it 🙂
Привет! Спасибо за небольшое предисловие о цели вашего путешествия. Я с удовольствием посмотрел выпуск байкпакинг в Georgia
Wow x 1000, the cinematography matches the extreme scale of geography. Congratulations on this epic journey to both of you. Peace.
Superb cycling trek with an historical target. You both are so nice and courageous , despite the weather conditions and the steepy rocky tracks. Just continue to be in harmony with the nature. Only missing in your movie are the contact with the local population; hoping you had great moments with that.
brought tears to my eyes. thanks for sharing the video.
Thanks for watching, appreciate it 🙂
Ganz großes Kino, und in Superqualität. Und eine berührende Erinnerung an die Geschichte von Deutschen. Danke, dass ihr das teilt.
Danke dir Wolfgang =)
beautiful journey of two young humble counrageous! deeply enjoyed it.
Thanks a lot 🙂
Wow... Speechless.
Great work, amazing shot!
Then now, I need to be there.
Thank you 🙂, highly recommend Kyrgyzstan as a whole.. such a beautiful place
wow, your photography is just gorgeous, the simplicity and composition is out of this world. I got emotional from it, great work
Thank you 🙂
Extrem beeindruckende Bilder. Bisweilen sieht man die Verzweiflung in den Augen.
Lieben Dank. Freut mich, dass es dir gefallen hat =)
Congratulations from Spain, guys. It had to be very emotive getting there, to your roots.
I've enjoyed A LOT watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your incredible adventure. A bikepacking lover 🏕️🚲

Such a wonderful film - what a meaningful journey. Thank you. A history I’d probably not otherwise learned.

Great to hear, thanks =)
Well done! Thank you for sharing your incredible story!
Was für geniale Aufnahmen und alles so unaufgeregt und ohne ständige Selbstdarstellung, einfach toll
Vielen Dank =)
Wahnsinnig schöne Aufnahmen... 🥰🥰
Vielen Dank 🙂
A very special motivation to embark on an arduous journey as such. I can imagine that any of life's hurdles would appear negligible after conquering those passes.
Many wouldn't realize the effort pushing a bike loaded with food and gear, camera equipment, let alone all the filming effort!
Thank you so much, really appreciate the comment 🙂
Hard drive 👍👍👍👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
That Kegety Pass footage is magnificent . What a challenge for the two of you! I am glad I "stumbled "upon your channel. I subscribed to watch more adventures.
thank you =)
Danke für diesen Beitrag. Ich selbst bin auch ein Russland-Deutscher und werde aus gesundheitlichen Gründen so eine Reise nie machen können, aber euer Video hat mir das Gefühl gegeben, dabei gewesen zu sein 😊. Viele Dank.
Mega Kompliment, danke dir =)
Случайно нашел Ваш канал, смотрел видео и все не понимал, все просто и по родному и истории и подача материала путешествий. И посмотрев это видео я понял что к чему .... Удачи Вам во всем и больше красивых мест!
Guys YOU are awesome! Thanks for being such a huge inspiration! Keep on going! 🚲💚✌
Thank you for the kind words, appreciate it 🙂
Thanks for sharing your journey with us 👍
Ihr beide macht mit Abstand die besten bikepacking Filme die ich kenne. So sympathisch und down to earth. Dazu noch eine absolut professionelle Filmtechnik. Vielen Dank!
Hab vielen Dank 😊
Das ist großes Kino von fernen Reisen und Einsamkeit in wunderschöner Natur. Klasse.
Beautiful that you both can share your experiences and the moments witnessing the marvelous beauty of the planet.
Come agan to KYRGYZSTAN we were wery happy see you gyis🤗
Hi from Russia! Awesome film, as usual! Surprised and pleased to know, that you were born in ex-USSR countries. Maybe it's time to learn more about ex-USSR and explore Russia next summer. ;) If you will have any questions or need any help, feel free to contact. ;) Best of luck! Nazdorovje!
P.S. You have gathered people from all over the world here, in comments. Even ppl from my favorite Brazil is here. Great!
Great to hear, thanks a lot =)
Amazing commitment you guys. I've been to Kyrgyzstan the entire country is filled with giant mountains. Stunning drone shots makes me want to go back.
One of the best lovestory films I've ever seen.
Thanks:)
Was für ein wunderschönes, aufregendes Video eurer Reise. Nach dem Intro war ich bereits komplett hooked! Diese endlosen Weiten sehen so unfassbar aus. Ich will mir gar nicht vorstellen wie anstrengend es gewesen sein muss den Pass hochzuschieben UND es gleichzeitig so filmisch festzuhalten!
Danke dir für die lieben Worte =)
This is one of best bikepacking film presented on YT. I was watched and admired everything.
I couldn't fathom the amount of food needed to embark on a journey like this.. You guys made it look easy!
Beautiful 👍🌹♥️
Kudos to your great trip to discover your family history. Our Korean people in the former Soviet Union have a painful and sad history just like you, so I sympathize more and more.
17:29 Crossing this road by bike is the best feeling in the world 😍I wish best for you, Henry & Monica ❤
멋진 풍경과 역사를 알게 되어 감사합니다. thanks for scenery and history
🙂👍
Hi Henry and Moni! You two are so inspiring! I just found this episode and now I have to go back and watch them all from the start.
thank you :)
Thank you for sharing your story! Your filming is incredible as always!
Чудо, как здорово! Спасибо вам, ребята.
love from bangladesh
Always good to hear the context for the tour💪💪👍
🙂👍
Your videos are just getting better and better. Such a great story and so well made. Thank you.
Great to hear, thank you a lot 🙂
ありがとうございます！
Thank you so much for the support, appreciate it 🙂
Beautiful trip. I'd like to ride there some day. Cheers!
i lived almaty 8 years cycled every day almost to many far flung corners of the country u are lucky to be born here its stunning country and the people are good.
Kyrgyzstan has such stunning landscapes... Great memories. You guys did a great job, congrats !
That's so true.. thank you =)
Another beautiful trip, thank you for sharing. Keep up the great work and well made content!
thanks a lot =)
Everything about this is incredible. Photography, editing, music.... everything. Some of the drone shots and musical acompanyment are really moving. And your minimalistic use of narrative makes it even better.... You just let the pictures tell the story. The best I have seen in a very long time. Incredible. Thank you.
Thank you, appreciate your comment 🙂
RESPECT, RESPECT
Loved it. Love from PAKISTAN
Brilliant and interesting video thank you for sharing with us.
Sehr schöne Filme! Die Natur ist einfach Atemberaubend. Nur eins wundert mich: das ihr keine Fahrradhelme an haben? Passt auf euch auf!
The south side of Kegeti pass is in better conditions than it was 4 or 5 years ago :)
Going down the north side (from Kegeti summit) at around 2000 meters altitude, did you cross a small place with few yourts and old train wagon (I crashed there for 3 nights because of bad weather)?
Thanx for the beautiful video, brings back wonderful memories.
Thanks:)
Maybe, honestly we can't remember..had too much fun riding downhill 🙂...but yeah, the weather is so unpredictable up there
In all my life I never thought if I saw superwoman she would be pushing a loaded bike up Kagety Pass, but there she was. As unique an event as it was incredible. Thanks for producing.
😂, thank you 🙂👍
日本からです！こんばんわ！
素晴らしい映像、魅せる編集技術！
あなたのチャンネルに出会えたことに感謝！
僕も旅に出かけたい。チャンネル登録しました!
ありがとう！
Well done both of you, what an effort to get there, hope all goes well for you both wherever you live.
What a beautiful story and fantastic ride! Cheers from Norway!
Thanks 🙂
Добро пожаловать, к нам)
🤗
Beautiful, lovely two person. Fulfilling, simple, lovely story, images and music. Bikepacking... Congratulations!
Awesome stuff guys and epic determination climbing the Pass, well done, stay safe.
meine größte Hochachtung!
einmal zur körperlichen Leistung...aber noch mehr zur mentalen Stärke 👏
ich glaube man muss schon sehr gut mit sich selbst auskommen und dann das Glück zu haben so einen Partner zu finden - wie schon vor Monaten einmal geschrieben, es ist sehr schön euch zuzusehen - danke
der Hintergrund eurer Wurzeln hat euch bestimmt geholfen im Zelt bei Sturm und auf über 3000 Meter...der Regenbogen am nächsten Tag war sicher eine verdiente 'Belohnung'!
alles Gute weiterhin und ich freue mich auf die nächsten Bilder, falls es wieder so anstrengend sein sollte...(vermtl, weil flach und einfach ist ja nicht eures...😅) - ich fühle mit euch 👍💪👍
Danke für die lieben Worte Josef. 🤗 Mit anfänglichen 30km durch das flache, gut asphaltierte Deutschland sind wir auf jeden Fall sehr über uns hinaus gewachsen, das können wir bestätigen. Die gemeinsamen Herausforderungen und das tägliche Miteinander sind definitiv ein guter Schleifstein und wir sind dankbar für die gemeinsamen Abenteuer. Dass es möglich war unsere Geburtsstädte zu besuchen ist definitiv ein Highlight unserer Reise geworden. Ein gelungener Abschluss für diesen Part unserer Tour.👌
🤗
the most remote cycling trail on the earth, great job !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I stumbled upon this and I am amazed by how beautifully shot and edited this is!
thank you, appreciate it =)
Du hast wirklich die beste und schönste Frau der Welt an deiner Seite. Sowas macht nicht jede Frau mit.. Respekt!
Tremendous effort to navigate those sketchy, rocky and narrow tracks. Thanks for your outstanding filming & sharing. Safe rides to you folks.
thank you so much =)
Guten Tag, Ihr beiden, Interesse und viel Freude habe ich Euren Bericht miterlebt. Vielen herzlichen Dank dafür. Es ist großartig, wie Ihr die einzelnen Etappen bewältigt. Kirgisien war der Hammer. Reist weiter so. Ich bin schon gespannt wie es weitergeht. Euch weiter viel Spaß, bleibt gesund und seid herzlich gegrüßt Christa aus Berlin
Wie heisst Euer Zelt?
weiter
Danke dir Christa für die netten Worte =)
Das Zelt heißt Big Agnes Tiger Wall UL3 Bikepack. In der Beschreibung ist ein Gear-Link, dort haben wir (fast) alles mal aufgezählt was wir so bei uns tragen.
Ogni video un piccolo film complimenti veramente per tutta la serie di video compreso quello della bici e dell’attrezzatura 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Another great video from you !
It appears that I haven’t actually watched all of your videos as I had assumed, so I’m in for a nice treat when I work my way through them 😃
Thanks very much 👍
Very beautiful ... you are two great pilots and great photographers
Terrific history as well. I was unaware of CATHERINE or German Russians. Thanks so much.
Thank you, glad you liked it =)
Vous avez bien du courage, l’ascension n’était pas facile, bravo à tous les 2!
Merci 🙂
You should do a gear list video. I would like to know more. The waist pack is very interesting, as is the water filter and the food items.
Amazing!! Great photography. Thank you.
Thanks for your smiles and the emotions. This travel is so hard and i hope that's a good experience for you both.
what an adventure for you
The story you tell through the visuals of the journey, combined with the story you told at the start was incredible. Can't wait to watch more by you guys!
Glad to hear, thank you 🙂
This was a work of art.
100 likes for this one! Wish I could've been with you on that climb - the scenery, the challenge, the remoteness... And those drone shots - wow - thank you. And lovely ending with your personal destinations. May you find many more fulfilling adventures :)
