Trans Euro Trail

The Trans Euro Trail or TET is a roughly 38000km GPX adventure motorcycle backpacking route through Europe. The Trail contains all kinds of unpaved trails which are officially allowed according to the local laws and regulations of the relevant countries.

Organisation

The TET was founded by John Ross and has been available since 2017.[1][2]

So called "Linesmen"[3] keep the GPX tracks in their countries up to date with the assistance of everyone that rides the Trail and of the communities which the trail passes through.

Route

The TET route has two arms:

Code of Conduct

There is a Code of Conduct translated into all the European languages and a central ethos of

  1. Respect for the Trails
  2. Respect for the Communities we travel through
  3. Respect for the Environment

Publishing the TET is a not for profit Community Interest Company (CIC). The Trail and the logo are trademarked for protection of hijacking and misuse.[4][5]

The track is available for free and at no cost.

The TET was inspired by the Trans America Trail (TAT).
