To the limits of the self
On foot through the desert of death
the notorious Taklamakan in western China.

The spirits determine life
By jeep through Madagascar
With death breathing down your neck
On a camel through Pakistan

DIE GROSSE REISE tells of very real adventures and an extremely unusual traveling life at the turn of the millennium. It is one of the great expeditions, the likes of which have not been seen since Marco Polo’s time, and is now regarded as one of the longest expeditions of this century.
The adventure that began for Denis Katzer and his wife Tanja back in 1991 in Germany and will end one day, perhaps in 15 years’ time, in South America, takes them around the world.

In their search for other worlds, Tanja and Denis only use traditional local means of transportation. The two expose themselves to extraordinary efforts and hardships when they cross the fascinating Taklamakan desert in eastern China on foot, ride their camels through wild Pakistan and discover the unknown, magical Madagascar on an adventure on dusty tracks.
