Small tour to "warm up" 😉- in beautiful weather ☀️ (if a bit chilly). While the southwestern part of the route leads over busy roads 🚗🚙🚗 and does not offer any real riding pleasure, the eastern part compensates with beautiful cycle paths 🚴🚴‍♂️with a view of the lake and the mountains ⛰️🏔️ in the background.
