On the way to the red dragon

24,000 kilometers – a gripping travelogue

Poland, Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia – the overland route from Germany to China is a real challenge. And you can’t really get into the land of the Red Dragon with your own vehicle. If you do, then only with a state guide. But Doris Wiedemann finds a way, drives alone, and reports in this book about fascinating encounters and the culture that is so foreign to us.

“My most intensive journey to date: interesting, exciting, challenging and enriching.”

Taiga Tour

40,000 km – Russia – Korea – Japan
One woman, one motorcycle and many unforgettable encounters

Typical woman: boundless curiosity drives the famous solo traveler and journalist Doris Wiedemann out into the world again and again.

After traveling in the USA, around Australia and across Africa, an invitation to drink coffee entices the author to take a trip halfway around the world:
In 2001, Doris Wiedemann became the first woman to ride a motorcycle alone through Russia, all the way to Vladivostok. She takes her bike with her to South Korea and is the first non-Korean to ride her motorcycle in North Korea.

In Tokyo, she is greeted by two Japanese men whom she had met years earlier on her trip to Africa. And the way home takes her back across Russia, where the harbingers of winter turn the journey over the Ural Mountains into a dangerous slippery ride.

Winter trip to Alaska

By motorcycle from +25° to -52° from Florida to the Arctic Ocean

Doris Wiedemann, the well-known world traveler and motorcycle adventurer, was the first woman to ride the infamous Dalton Highway by motorcycle in winter. Together with Dutchman Sjaak Lucassen, she rode from the southernmost point of the USA to the northernmost place that can be reached on public roads during the coldest time of year.

The journalist tells of her extreme adventure, from Key West in Florida to Deadhorse in Alaska, from +25 to -52 degrees Celsius – and of encounters with biking legends Dave Barr, Ted Simon and Helge Pedersen, of ice carvers and auroras and of frozen tires, icy tracks and snowstorms.
