Does anyone have any information on Eurovelo 6 from the Atlantic to the Black Sea, especially the last leg into Romania. Has anyone cycled the whole distance. Most people seem to finish in Budapest, is it because the route and roads are so poor in Romania? These Eurovelo routes according to `Wikapedia` have no gradients over 6%, accommodation every 50km, public transport every 150km, provision points every 30km, open 365 days a year, no more than a 1000cars per day on any roads used, wide enough for 2 cyclists and sealed for 80% of the route (whatever that means) It sounds great, wondered if all this is the case for Eurovelo 6 does anyone have any info apart from what`s on the internet, especially first hand information. Might consider cycling this route in August if anyone is interested...

I haven't cycled beyond Budapest yet, but have got as far as buying the (very good, as always) Bikeline guide to the Budapest--Black Sea leg of the Danube cycleroute, which I think is more or less the same as that part of the Euro route 6?. They've just brought out an English translation too, I see:
