September 29, 2024,12 Durch das schöne Burgund von der Loire in Richtung Saonne
The night was very cold. Because I started quite early due to the short days, the fog was still visible over the lakes and canals. A beautiful morning atmosphere.

The cycle path leads through green Burgundy, there are many open views.
