July 12, 2022,Zur Unstrut-Quelle

Today a bike tour to my liking. And finally warm weather, so that a nice round trip was possible. After about half the distance I reached the Unstrut spring. The Unstrut is a 192 km long, left tributary of the Saale and its tributary with the most water. The route led mainly on bike paths away from the roads, now …

Unstrut Cycle Path III - an 18% he the crowning end of a wonderful bike tour.

The tour as we drove it could be described as very strenuous, but also very beautiful. Many do the tour in 4 or 6 stages. Two stages of 215 km with a backpack are sporty and you learn to get by with little.

April 28, 2024,Teil II ●Kanonenbahn. Küllstedter Tunnel[⭕️Mühlhausen]

.... Forest paths and the Kanonenbahn - a cool cycle path with a 1.5 km long tunnel, in which it would normally be pitch black and cold. I read that the lights go out at 7 p.m. and a warm sweater in your luggage at around 8° is good🫡.
(Near the Klostermühle we got really confused trying to get onto …
