Usual round extended by new loop. I love "puddle pictures", especially since sometimes you don't know what's up and what's down.

The weather is nice, what are you doing, hiking, have you been cycling this week? Just cycling around the area and it's fun too.

Just got home and it starts raining. Let's see if it's more than just a few drops.

Late in the morning, I thought about doing something before it got warmer. I set off by bike to Cumbach and then continued along the Flursteinweg to Cathrinau and Unterhasel. On the way back, I cycled to
Bad Blankenburg. Easy tour suitable for everyone. 🙋‍♂️🚲☀️

A very easy, pleasant and fast tour. The stopover is especially important for families, because the way to Ziegenrück will be another 45km and 800 meters in altitude. Good to gather strength 😁

The Saale Cycle Path is highly recommended. We cycled from hotel to hotel. We had booked in advance, but that was unnecessary as you can always find accommodation along the way. There is a lot to see and you should take your time.
