Overview

• Simone Nehring, Artur Hajduk and Ralf Schüttler—veterans of a 2024 Spreewald-to-Venice cycling tour—began their two-week expedition at the Nikolaus post office in St. Nikolaus, Saarland.
• They will cover roughly 3,000 kilometres on two yellow Deutsche Post bicycles and a mountain bike without electric assistance, supported by a follow-vehicle carrying clothing, tools and spare parts.
• The route includes scheduled stops in Bremen and Hamburg to collect thousands of pre-collected children’s Christmas wish letters bound for Santa Claus Village.
• After delivering the letters in Rovaniemi, the team plans to extend the journey another 700 kilometres to the North Cape.
• The initiative also serves as a fundraising effort for Bunter Kreis Hagen, a charity supporting families of severely ill children.
