Discover the MRA Iron Curtain Trail. An epic journey across a lost border...

For nearly fifty years after the Second World War, Europe was divided by the Iron Curtain, an impenetrable border between East and West. The MRA Iron Curtain Trail follows this historic division from the icy Barents Sea in the far north to the warm coasts of the Black Sea in the south.

This unique route of more than 10,000 kilometers is much more than a road trip. It is a journey through the living history of Europe and, at the same time, a powerful reminder of the value of peace, freedom, and unity.

The complete Iron Curtain Trail is divided over 5 seasons, starting in 2022 in Grense Jakobselv, a small village in Norway on the Barents Sea at the mouth of the Jakobselva River, and ending in 2026 in Rezovo on the Black Sea at the mouth of the Rezovo River, which marks the border between Bulgaria and Turkey.

This collection contains the routes of Season 1, including a number of alternative routes that Michel and Serge rode due to the war between Russia and Ukraine. Season 1 was ridden in the year 2022 and starts in Grense Jakobselv and ends in Riga.

Whether you travel on two or four wheels, the MRA Iron Curtain Trail has something special to offer every car or motorcycle tourist.
