Raise the curtain. Bike the length of the notorious Iron Curtain that separated the European Continent into east and west for almost a half a century during the Cold War. The Iron Curtain Trail (ICT) is a 6,800 km cycling trail that starts at the Barents Sea along the Norwegian-Russian border and the Finnish-Russian border and finishes at the northernmost point of Turkey on the Black Sea coast. Twenty countries, 14 of which are EU Member States, are involved in this ongoing project. Traveling along the ICT, you’ll see many national parks, monuments, museums, beautiful landscapes and villages. Cycle the ICT and experience first-hand European reunification.
