This had even been burned once before and rebuilt again, so dear cyclists, honor these beautiful places and make sure that this time it is preserved.

August 21, 2024,2 Seen Tour 21.08.2024

Today, after work, I went on a leisurely bike ride around two small lakes, Runstedter See and Großkayener See, although the latter has the nicer circular route. There are two observation towers there, from which you have a wonderful view over the lake. Nice circuit, well worth it
☀️👍😎🍀

A 12.4 km circular route leads through the nature reserve around Lake Großkayna. There you can - apart from nature - admire two herds of wild horses and a herd of wild cows. There are also two towers, each containing information boards and a picnic table. There are also several information boards about the Braunsbedra mining area around the lake. …

Very beautiful route through nature. Cycle path asphalt and in places very bumpy as the roots break through the asphalt.

Hello,
Yesterday, Sunday morning, I made an appointment with Harti for a 2-hour round in the morning. 👍😊 The start in Merseburg was at 9:00 a.m., so we immediately drove through Merseburg West to the entrance to the pilgrimage route near Zscherben. On the pilgrimage path in pure sunshine and a light wind from the side, we continued to Frankleben. …
