Actually a nice round, but heavily frequented on Sunday mornings and in the holiday and holiday season. In addition, inattentive cyclists, those who caused accidents and fugitive drivers. Unbelievable. But there are also helpful cyclists to be found. Thank you!👍

A very beautiful tour with magnificent scenery, many mills worth seeing, and delicious food. However, you should remove your phone from your bike after the tour 😉 before hitting the highway.😎

September 28, 2023,KAlte Eiche/Weiße Elster/Mühltal.⭕️Hermsdorf. Gera

Today I read an African proverb
🌞HAKUNA MATATA 🌞 which loosely translates to 'Everything is fine'
And that's exactly how it was today🤗
A nice, relaxed tour. The Kalte Eiche in Gera is simply gigantic. It takes several people to hold the tree. I ignored Untermhaus, in my opinion the most beautiful district of Gera, today because I worked in …

June 30, 2025,Weiße Elster/Mühltalweg/Hermsdorf und zurück nach Gera

Today, we cycled from Gera along the White Elster River, then up the Mühltal valley to Hermsdorf, and back to Gera with a short loop around the city. The route to Hermsdorf is excellent. It first runs directly along the Elster Cycle Path. Then it continues on a great cycle path (a former railway line) until it turns into the …

A very nice tour. Not exhausting. The Mühlental from Kursdorf to Weißenborn is especially romantic. Don't miss the miniature park at the Robertmühle.

September 12, 2022,Stadtradeln Gera Tag 16 - Heimradeln über Hermsdorf 🤪

Stadtradeln Gera turns onto the home straight. Yesterday the 3rd week started and today I cycled again. The plan of my round was (of course) a little different. But because of the time, I "shortened" my tour a bit. It was probably too lame 🤪😁 Nevertheless, it was a nice round with pleasant temperatures... unfortunately I forgot to press start …

June 2, 2024,Nach dem großen Regen 🌧️ doch noch ne schöne und trockene Runde … Stadtradeln #2

After it finally stopped raining, I got my bike out and went for a nice ride, where I even stayed dry 🤪
I chose a tour where I could only ride on asphalt, because I didn't really want to go through the forest after the rain!
So I went from Eisenberg through the Mühltal to Hermsdorf, then via Kraftsdorf to …
