Chemnitztal Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The people of Chemnitz can be truly proud of their bike path: completely paved, with a roughly 30-meter-long tunnel through the rock, and at least one large bridge. What more could you want?

January 22, 2025,Runde Chemnitztal Nord - Markersdorf - Claußnitz - Oberlichtenau - Glösa - Hilbersdorf

This isn't actually my time of year for cycling. It was also quite cold, and the puddles in the fields were frozen.

But somehow I have to lose the fat and get my fitness back. I just crept uphill. I can feel my legs and my backside.

Yes, every beginning is difficult, but necessary. 🚴‍♂️🤪

July 28, 2024,Suche nach der Fischwegbrücke

The press reported that the old Fischweg bridge is to be moved to the new rest area in Draisdorf. Since we wanted to know a little more precisely which bridge was meant, we went looking. Hmm, unfortunately we didn't find either, neither a place where the old bridge could have stood, nor did we see anything about a new rest …

Today we chose a sunny route again, 🌞 before it gets cooler and cloudier again in the next few days. ⛅️ Only the distant view wasn't very clear.
For some people the Easter Bunny seems to be knocking on the door. 😃🐰🐣

Heading home today via Chemnitz to pick up my order from the spice factory "Direkt vom Feld". Wonderful cycling weather, a fantastically empty Chemnitztal cycle path and I've completed the 4000 kilometres of cycling to work this year. 😅

After almost 30,000 km with this bike, it was time to change the chain, large chainring and pinion block for the third time.
The money saved on petrol - approx. 30,000/100*8*1.70€ = 4,080 € - would even have been enough for a new bike. 😄🤣😉
