Hello Ingo, we know each other from our college days and were friends. I sent you an email on April 8, 2022, to thkeil2@t-online.de. You can still reach me via this email address, but more current would be thomaskeil665@gmail.com.

Ingo, I take my hat off to you for the way you experience the world with the many different ways of …

I personally didn't like today's section as much, as it was very road-heavy. But that's part of it. I prefer the "through the green, only the sounds of nature" kind of person. The view was still beautiful, especially the Kali Mountains from various perspectives.

After 22km we noticed that Komoot was not switched on yet. A pity. The cycle path from Gerstungen via Fernhöhenbach, Möhra to Bad Salzungen is very scenic. In Bad Salzungen you then come back to Gerstungen on the Werra cycle path

Great bike tour along the Werratal bike path. Worth seeing is Vacha with its old town and the former watchtower of the GDR on the Werratalbrücke.
If you have time, you can visit the salt mine in Merkers on the way back (after registration).

It's a shame when the local authorities aren't really on the ball. Today's example: we cycled about 5 km and the signposted cycle path ended in a construction site. That's not a problem at first if a detour is offered. Unfortunately, in our case there was no detour. So we went back and 5 km there and 5 km back …
