Cycling Home - London to Cesena (Italy) 07/17

Hello dear cycle touring enthusiasts,

I am planning a little trip with my gf for June 2017. From my home in London to my original home Cesena (north of Italy, close to Bologna/Venice). I have close to no knowledge of the areas I could potentially cycle through, other than few bits I really want to swing by, so I thought I'd start a thread here to collect all the tips you might be willing to share with me.

Thank you all for contributing.

Route: I will edit this original post with the current layout of the route, at the moment is nothing but a straight line. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/17608596

Constraints (list will be kept updated):

• I'd like to do this in 14 days, with a max average of 120/130km per day (which will drop over the Alps) so the total distance shouldn't really exceed 1800km (I know it's tight given the straight line is 1200ish.
  
• Sleeping arrangements (in order of preference): campsites, wild camping, couch surfing, Airbnbs, hostels..
  
  

POIs (list will be kept updated):

• Arenberg Forest
  
• Black Forest
  
• Zurichsee
  
• Furkapass
