My first little introductory tour of the year. We rode the Werra Valley Cycle Path from Wölfershausen via Heringen to Gerstungen, stopping at Cafe Top. There, we enjoyed a hearty meal. Then we headed home to Obersuhl, through the Rhäden Valley, via Heringen to Wölfershausen, where we finished off with a shandy with friends.
