When I left the house this morning, yesterday's sunshine was on my mind. That's why I was very surprised when I felt the drizzle and saw the wet streets. I should have paid more attention to the weather report... so I quickly grabbed my rain gaiters and helmet cover and unloaded the drone and remote control. Luckily, the weather steadily …

From Esslingen, the route to the Filstal was as direct as possible, partly on the Schnellradweg to Uhingen. The Schnellradweg is well developed, but due to the parallel main roads with high traffic volumes, it is not so nice for leisure cyclists. It went moderately uphill via Wangen to Rechberghausen.
