The Trans Euro Trail (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. So called "Linesmen" keep the GPX track in their countries up to date with the assistance of everyone that rides the Trail and the communities it passes through.

The TET route has two arms:


 * Western (Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland, Low Countries, UK, France, Andorra, Spain and Portugal)
 * Eastern (Finland, the Baltic states, Poland, Ukraine, Romania, Serbia, Bulgaria, Greece, the Balkans and Italy)

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.

The track is available for free and at no cost.

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