Rebecca Maria Salentin liest "Iron Woman"

In the organizer's words:

Iron Woman - Reading and discussion with SPIEGEL bestselling author Rebecca Maria Salentin

Although her expertise ends with unscrewing a valve flap, Rebecca Maria Salentin is taking on one of the greatest challenges of the European cycle path network: she wants to conquer the almost 10,000-kilometer 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 or magnificent imperial baths ... and 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 not only talks 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 Maria Salentin is the first woman to have conquered the Iron Curtain Trail in one piece.
