I bought the winter boots second-hand on the internet. This model is the second warmest in the range (-18°C to -4°C comfort). The top model can supposedly withstand temperatures down to -32°C 🥶

December 15, 2024,Deja Vu Tour

Arriving by train, there are so many train stations along the route that the tour can easily be shortened or extended.

From the estuary along the Saar via Saarburg, Mettlach to the Saar loop and back. Mostly very nice bike paths near the river. Just a short stretch just off the main thoroughfare.

The first part takes us along the Saar Cycle Path along the B 51. Since there was relatively little traffic, it was fine. After about 8 km, we first heard and then saw rock quarrying. The red rock (perhaps clay?) was also crushed on site and transported away by truck.

Finally, it's starting again.
We are setting off to explore new countries and landscapes and to experience new adventures by bike.

Initially, still without a trailer and tent.

We would be happy if you were with us again.
Ride along and see for yourself what we experienced on this bike tour.

A beautiful cycle path along the Saar River to the Saar Loop. The treetop walk above the Saar Loop is also worth a visit. From the vantage point, you have a beautiful view of the surrounding area.
