Route 66
For Americans it is the “Mother Road”. Since its opening more than 80 years ago, it has connected Chicago with Los Angeles, 3940 kilometres through eight states and four times zones. 30 years ago, the outdated highway disappeared from road maps, detached by modern motorways. The former lifetime of the modern automobile era became the victim of progress. But in the memory of millions of Americans, it was the path in search of the American dream. Today, the remains of “66” offer a nostalgic tour through a chapter of American history, an adventure among its powerful nature and a fascinating encounter with man and culture in the heart of America.
