Lutwinus Chapel with View of the Saartal

Highlight • Religious Site

The Lutwinus Chapel is in the middle of the forest. A small visit is worthwhile here, because it is not only the enchanted place and the chapel itself, which fascinate, but also the beautiful view of the Saar Valley.

June 25, 2023,Trainingsrunde E-Mtb Marathon Halbdistanz 🥵😩

Today's first attempt to finish the Saarschleifen Bike half-distance with a 625Wh battery failed shortly before the end. Despite a battery-friendly driving style (the first 25 km only up to a maximum of 175% support), the battery died about 4 km from the finish. 😩

Saarschleifen half marathon:
A nice tour with a bad pre- and post-ride organization, route/tour is highly recommended, the event only if you have "money left over", otherwise not. Related video is yet to come.
