Along the Ederseebahn cycle path to Buhlen and on to the Edersee. A beautiful tour, off-road, with a relaxing ride along the old railway lines.

Today my sweetheart invited me for ice cream at "Eis Eis Baby" on the Edersee.
We started our tour in Korbach. We cycled along the beautiful and, today, fairly empty "Ederbahnradweg" (Eder Railway Cycle Path).
The weather was beautiful 🌞 and we were in a great mood, but the headwind tried to spoil our good mood, but it didn't.

I mean the weather and my new gravel tires - not that we get ourselves wrong here! ☝️🤭

I think these things roll really well, tubeless hold the air wonderfully, and are easy to assemble. And for 23 euros, you can get the piece at a slightly reduced price at bike components in sale 👌😁
Only a few meters in …

Today my favorite is “Cheating”.
Instead of the “Eierbahn” we drove to Korbach and then took the railway cycle path to Waldeck.
The weather cooperated, the route was pretty steep and the pancake house was open 😎😎.
Unfortunately Reiner and his community were ahead of us and the 40 cm curry sausage was sold out 🤣🤣😂😂.
Another wonderful day spent …

Many thanks to @Die Eumels for the inspiration. We were finally able to do this tour. A very relaxing tour that was simply fun. You really should do it at least once. 👍🏼☀️😎
