EV13 The Iron Curtain Trail

The Iron Curtain Trail (ICT), also known as EuroVelo 13 (EV13), is a long-distance cycling route along the route of the former Iron Curtain, from the Barents Sea to the Black Sea. It is 10,550 km long. During the Cold War (c. 1947-1991), the Iron Curtain delineated the border between the Communist East and the capitalist West, with the East being the Warsaw Pact countries of the Soviet bloc and the West being the countries of NATO.

The ICT can also be walked as a long-distance trail.
