September 20, 2023,Ostertal- und Westpfalzrunde mit den Radlerfreunden 🌤️🌬️🚴🏻🚴‍♀️🚴🏻

Went down one of my favorite routes with two friends today. Always an experience...along the Höcherberg with great views, the varied and selective route along the Oster, the easy pedaling on a permanent gradient on the Fritz-Wunderlich cycle path from Oberkirchen to Kusel. Unfortunately, the reward beer in platform 3 had to be canceled because the beer garden was closed …

This tour is one of my favorites at home: a brisk start with a Höcherberg feeling... then slightly selective ups and downs through the idyllic Ostertal... relaxed rolling on the well-developed Fritz Wunderlich cycle path to Kusel, with a gentle gradient throughout... finally a final spurt on familiar paths over the Glan-Blies cycle path for a reward🍻😛

Today the weather gods were merciful and provided a decent cooling in the form of rain, wind and at times even sleet. Overheating was therefore impossible, big thanks to the top 😜🧊☔️

September 2, 2023,Saar-Pfalzrunde über den Remigiusberg ins Ostertal ☀️🚵💦

Today the tour was driven counterclockwise and included the beautiful viewpoint on the Remigiusberg. However, the varied route is a little easier in the other direction. I particularly missed the constant slight gradient on the Pirminius cycle path between Oberkirchen and Kusel. Here it was now time to play upwards, on unfortunately soft ground.
Towards the end there was a …

June 10, 2024,Ostertal- und Westpfalzrunde mit Abstecher auf die Burg Lichtenberg 🌤️☘️⛰️🏚️🌬️🚵☁️🌿🍃

Today's route is one of the highlights of my tour collection. Start at Dörrenbach on the Ostertal high-altitude cycle path (R7). With moderate ups and downs, the route takes you through the Oster valley in a varied way. In Osterbrücken, you switch to the Fritz Wunderlich cycle path. The well-paved and shady cycle path leads slightly downhill on a former …
