Today was finally great cycling weather. First we took a leisurely ride along the railway line, then we climbed our local mountain, the Schaumberg. From there we had a wonderful view of the landscape. On the way back we washed off the mud from the last few tours at the car wash. Fortunately, the first asparagus was already being sold, …

September 8, 2024,Sonntagstour zum Schaumberg

Today's Sunday tour took us from home along the Wendelinus cycle path to Schaumberg. Maggie was also able to try out her new manual gearshift. While previously the gearshift was controlled by a twist grip, it is now operated by levers, which is much more practical in our case. We started in cloudy weather, but as the tour progressed it …

May 2, 2026,Familientour zum Schaumberg

Today we had arranged a cozy tour with Maggie's brother Jörg and his wife Nicole. We started from our home via the Wendalinusradweg up to the Schaumberg and the Schaumbergalm. We had a hearty meal there and then cycled comfortably back home. A wonderful tour in really summery weather and a light warm wind. May spring continue like this.

Today we only had time for a short tour. So we rode our bikes along the old railway line to Tholey and from there up to the Schaumberg with the Schaumberg Alm. We then briefly let our gaze wander over the landscape and rode back home. Nothing spectacular, but the main thing was to get out.

Yesterday we watched the carnival parade here in St. Wendel and then had a hearty carnival celebration. Today we got on our bikes to work off the calories and took a short tour along the railway line towards Tholey.
