Every summer, the car journey from Germany to Türkiye had an official route: the European route E5. It also had a name in German: Gastarbeiterroute, meaning guest worker route. This section explains what that route was and why there was no other way.
The route started from Munich. It went via the A8 to Salzburg, the Tauern motorway to Golling, where the motorway ended and the mountain road began via Bischofshofen, Radstadt, Liezen, Leoben, Bruck an der Mur, and Graz. It entered Yugoslavia via Spielfeld, and after Maribor, Varaždin, and Zagreb, it reached the Brotherhood and Union Motorway. After Belgrade and Niš, the road split: one branch went through Skopje and Evzoni to Thessaloniki, the other through Bulgaria to Kapıkule. Turkish and Greek workers shared the same asphalt road until Niš.
The Brotherhood and Unity Highway was over 1,180 kilometers long, two-lane, and had no central median. The German press referred to this route as "Blut und Blech" (Blood and Blech).
Air travel was not an option because, in those years, European airlines were pooling routes and keeping fares high, and more importantly, airplanes couldn't carry the same load as cars.
The war that began in Slovenia in 1991, then spread to Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, rendered the Zagreb-Belgrade section of the highway unusable, and road travel came to a standstill.

Gençlik mi desek, öfkeyle kalkan zararla otururmuş diye bir Ata sözümüzde var..Bütün Almanyada çalışmış olan gurbetçilerimize , onların oradaki çocuklarına vede torunlarına en içten gelen sevgi ,saygı ve Selamlarımı sunuyorum.Bende ilk gubetçilerden biri olarak....
Selam olsun o günlere.
sonra ailesinden esirgedigi mark lari akrabalarina dagitmak. gereksiz arsa ve evleri alip hava atmak ve akrabalarina siz bakin ve oturun demesi. ama almanyada da ayni 11 ay türkiyede gibi köy hayati yasamasi
Ve bu yolculuk her sene devam etti. Aslında bir macera idi ve arabalar gittikçe değişti.

Tek satır yeter. Araba, yıl, ve varsa akılda kalan durak. Örnek, Opel Rekord, seksen dört,
Köln'den Konya'ya üç günde, Niş'te bir gece.
Bir de iki cevabı olan bir soru. Her yaz o yolu sürmek hanenin Türkiye'deki varlığını
koruyan akıllı bir yatırım mıydı, yoksa dönüşü sürekli erteleyen şeyin ta kendisi miydi?
Buraya yazılan her cevap bu kanalın çalıştığı listeyi büyütüyor, ve bir sonraki bölüm
çoğu zaman buradan çıkıyor. Bu bölüm vaktinize değdiyse beğeni, onu görmesi gerekenlere
ulaştırıyor. Abone olun, seri sürüyor.
