October 10, 2021,Extra-Tour Zitronenkrämerkreuz mit Huxlay-Plateau bei Mehring

A very nice tour, with small alpine inclines, many paths over the vineyards and high paths of the Moselle valley. There were a few nice climbs and viewpoints over the Moselle valley. Highlights were e.g. the Martinskreuz (best view over Ensch), the Zitronenkrämer …

In principle, a clearly abbreviated version of "Lemon Chandler's Cheat Cross" was the result.
