The Baltic States by Bicycle: The meandering route I took on over the course of a six week tour in 2013. Highlights included: a few monuments to the Struve Geodetic Arc; a meteorite on Vormsi Island; swimming in Ventas Rumba—europe's widest waterfall; the highest point in Estonia: Suur Munamägi (318 m); all the beautiful lakes; ice cream.
tools QGIS, plus a bit of python for wrangling .gpx files and making the elevation profile.
