Today I did a lovely tour with my daughter. I did the same tour to the cafe in Mansbach a short time ago. We rode along the so-called Milky Way (unfortunately there is a lot of traffic here since the construction site in Eiterfeld) to Fürsteneck and then via Wölf and Landershausen to Schenklengsfeld. From there we took the Solztal …

Our destination today was once again the "Unfrierenes Höfchen" café in Mansbach, as it was closed last time. This time I planned the round trip the other way round. We cross the Kegelspiel cycle path and come directly to Leimbach, drive past the sawmill to Arzell and use the connecting path to Reckrod. From there we take the cycle path …

However, it was quite windy and not nearly as warm as I had expected. I cycled off the beaten track via Arzell, Reckrod, and Wölf to Schenklengsfeld. From there, …

Last year we discovered the café in Mansbach and a lovely bike ride to go with it. So today we were tempted not only by the cake, but also by the beautiful ride on great bike paths. However, there is still no bike path between Oberweißenborn and Unterweißenborn, so today we tried an alternative. It was a terrible, bumpy path …
