Alperstedter See – Aqua Fun Camp

Highlight • Lake

Somehow I can't find any public bathing area at the Alpi-See, only associations, clubs, campsite... Too bad, as a citizen of Brandenburg I'm used to that differently...

The ride through Erfurt and to Stotternheim wasn't pleasant: always along a main road, with lots of traffic lights and curbs. After that, the route continued on wonderful cycle paths.

Today we cycled to Erfurt.
Unfortunately there were no cattle to be seen in the Alperstedter Ried. We still stayed there with a picco hole.
The weather was perfect and we had fun.
