View of the Werra River and the Fischerstad in Bad Sooden-Allendorf

Highlight • Viewpoint

A small piece in the city area reminds me of Little Venice (Bamberg). A view from the bridge (Bahnhofstraße) gives the impression that there is a coffee right on the bank and many pretty houses

It should be a delicious ice cream and that's what you get in BSA🤩

Once again, I was deceiving myself:
I only used the motor and battery for a maximum of 8% of the total distance from BSA to Werra Valley Lake to BSA.

On the Werra Valley Cycle Path, you cruise along at 24-29 km/h. Hot summers can come – but our nature doesn't really need them!

Always nice through the Werratal but in Kleinvach I was thrown on the cobblestones. Just super smooth😵‍💫

Today I cycled along the Werra River.
It glides gently beside me.
The riverside meadows are still green and glow in the sun. The landscape alternates between rolling hills, small villages, and open fields.
The small clouds in the sky are merely decorative.

Three attempts and failed three times because of mud and impassable roads. In the end even did a somersault in the mud hole😔
