I don't do many bike tours 🚲 in a year, I'm more the hiking type 🚶🏼‍♀️.
If the bike tour is something special, like the Schöntal monastery ⛪ A real highlight that I have already visited, just not by bike.
Michael did the tour from Möckmühl four years ago and said I would like it too 👍🏾
So we're off. …

Nice little tour to the Schöntal monastery with our visit. We were happy that Duka's train station was open and went straight there. Delicious smoked salmon trout 😋 And to finish, another delicious ice cream in Möckmühl 🍦

Originally the bike tour Path of Silence was planned, which starts / ends directly in Schöntal.

So off to Schöntal by bike..🚴‍♂️..there at the monastery there were the first signposts, some of them slightly hidden - but they were there!
