Falkenstein–Oelsnitz Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Really a great bike path that leads from Oelsnitz to Falkenstein. In great shape and you can really "speed" with the racing bike.

Oelsnitz–Falkenstein Cycle Path (At the Old Railway Embankment)

Highlight • Cycleway

Well-developed cycle path, there is a nice playground at the dam and there is a snack bar that opens at 11 a.m

Food is good and the price is reasonable

So, here's a little tour just before the end of the year. I've done 8000 km and 74k HM, which means I've exceeded my goal by 500 km. I was named best cyclist for the second time at the city cycling competition, with 2200 km in 3 weeks. I wish everyone a lovely Christmas.
