The approximately 22 km long Cherry Trail around Witzenhausen leads past countless cultivated cherry trees, as well as some old cherry trees. It's always particularly charming during cherry blossom season.

Even though it's a ride into the early cherry blossoms, the cover photo is a magnolia. 😂 Also note the ticker below. 🖐️

🖐️ At 7 in the morning, the world is still in order. At least here. One hopes. Superficially? 🤔

Instead of walking, today we went through the beautiful cherry blossoms by e-bike. The mostly asphalted path leads past old cherry trees and cultivated plantations. In addition to the cherry blossoms, the tour offers beautiful views and lots of nature.

"The journey was the destination" 😉. Great cycling weather, stunning scenery, and plenty of old cherry trees that we had to stop at every now and then. But we also had time. 🖐️🍒🚴🏾‍♀️🚴🏽🍒.

We live in a region that is certainly scenically beautiful. Unfortunately, we often fail to appreciate it enough. 😎🚴🏾🚴🏽‍♀️
